Goals to help me Blossom.

• Take the time to meditate. 10 minutes per day, alone in a dim room, lots of concentrated breathing and releasing of toxic energy.
• Drink more water. It is cleansing. Besides, in the last two or so years, I've become prone to kidney infections and UTI's.. I need my water.
• Get back into the groove of snail-mail. Receiving something personal in the mailbox makes my day. I want to make the days of those I love.
• Talk to myself in a more positive light. Give myself a break. Be kind, be kind.

good things about today

- I played Left 4 Dead 2 with my husband and son and was amazed at my 3 and 1/2 year old's gaming skills.
- My Anniversary (12/8) and Christmas present will come early.. on Thursday, in the form of a new hair dye job/trim! (new red/blond touch-up/possible black touch-up)
- I was in a good mood for about 3/4 of the day. Better than yesterday.
- It was cooler outside today, which I much appreciate.
- I'm alive, well, and loved.

making myself useful

A few things I plan to either do, or start today in order to feel refreshed or productive..

• Begin recycling. I've always said "I'm going to start" but today's the day. I'm bringing in a storage bin to sit in my pantry, and in will go all of our cans. As far as paper? I need to look further into that. I need to educate myself on the recycling measures in my area.
• Paint my fingernails 'racing rubies red' - a new color I bought this morning. It'll be a sort of self-expression to start out the week.
• Bake a 'Burnt Sugar Cake'.

After going through old cook books this weekend with my mother in law, I found a caramel frosted cake similar to one that my husband had years ago at a work function. He fell in love with it. I believe this is the cake, but it may even be tastier, from the looks of it. This will be my first made-from-scratch cake, ever. I'll post pictures of it later. Cross your fingers for me, as I'm playing Betty Crocker today.
