Affirmation: I creatively use Science of Mind each day. Attitude habit builder: Inventive and proficient. Body: Peaceful sleep Spirit: Happy Gratitude: Running water in my home
Today I was struck with how grateful I am just to have running water. It's easy to lose gratitude for having the basics even though others do not have these things. The hummingbirds are not at all afraid of humans. Once in a zoo one of them was picking the wool threads out of my husband's sweater to make a nest while he was wearing it.
Cathy: I like your accountability list.
Onward>>>>

Gratitude: Abundance that surrounds me
Sorry about the accountability post yesterday - it was for another group and I must have copied and pasted accidentally. I did have fun in Batroun and learned a lot. Today we had a man come to discuss screens and hope to have them in place before I travel. Tickets for Scotland firming up, too.
MICHELLE: I can't imagine a hummingbird picking thread from your husband's sweater...did it land or hover as it tugged?

Affirmation: Delightful outcomes from the use of Science of Mind. Attitude habit builder: Balanced Body: Peaceful sleep Spirit: Protected Gratitude: Chance encounter with a close friend Today I drove to town to an appointment and then ran my weekly errands. It was a nicer day today so that made it pleasant. I managed to get all my weekly items done. Then I came home and was greeted by three happy excited dogs. It's fun to have a fan club Cathy: The hummingbird was picking the wool fibers out of his sweater and was hovering as she did so. It was quite a delicate operation. Glad to see that you are back t your alphabeting--such fun to read! Onward>>>>

Went to the dentist and he re-cemented the gold inlay in place. Bought some groceries. Have some more reading to do. It is a nice day and I am glad to enjoy it!
MICHELLE: I can't imagine the hummingbird following that dangling yarn...did it succeed in removing it or have to give up? Went to a butterfly place one time with my granddaughters and the butterflies were landing on certain but not all people in the room.

Affirmation: I creatively use Science of Mind each day. Attitude habit builder: Inventive and proficient--I got a really excellent idea to improve an area of my auditing so I was excited that the creative use of Science of Mind paid off. Hooray! Body: Peaceful sleep Spirit: Satisfied Gratitude: The gift of being grateful.
Good day for me. Worked diligently on my homemaking chores as fast as I could to catch up and managed to succeed for the most part. It rained this morning which is a happy event here. Also my resident Robin showed up. It's really enjoyable to see birds migrate back into the neighborhood.
Cathy: It was the fibers she was picking at and succeeded in getting them. We went to a butterfly place once but were a lot of people and few butterflies. However once in the mountains I encountered migratory butterflies. It was truly magical to be surrounded by them.

Yesterday was a good day. Inlay put back in place and it feels better than it did before, more planning and technical stuff done on the upcoming trips, and it was a beautiful on program eating day. Today the plan is to get in some walks while reading and make healthy meals while remaining positive. Hope to talk to our son and granddaughters this evening.
MICHELLE: It is fun to see migratory birds come back to the area. We have Hoopoe that brighten our road most years and did see one again this year. I need to tackle household chores...will...eventually

Affirmation: I creatively use Science of Mind each day. Attitude habit builder: Determined and Thoughtful Body: Peaceful sleep Spirit: Placid Gratitude: A warmer day I spent some time organizing my clothes today which was fun. Also finished a work project. Another OP day for me also. I have 1,896 days of daily weighing, taking it one day at a time and remembering what life used to be like and never ever wanting to take a step back in time to my overeating days. Cathy: With a little effort it seems that a day can be spent checking out the glass and seeing that it is half full instead of half empty. Besides by now I know that "This too shall pass" is a fact, not just a saying. It's fun to live an older life--such benefits from having lived a younger one Onward>>>>

Affirmation: Doing what needs to be done achieves goals and creates discipline
Mind: Demands answers when questions arise
Body: Dedicated
Spirit: Delighted and sometimes dazzled
Gratitude: Daughter and (grand)daughters and daughter(in-law)
Countdown is on...much to do here and much to look forward to during the three weeks in the USA.
MICHELLE: I need to go through my closet. I have a feeling that the final purge will take place once my daughter is here and decides if there is anything at all that she might want for herself. Then...all gone and the newly purchased items will nestle in with what I choose to keep. I am with you on NEVER returning to eating the way I did when gaining then maintaining the heavy weight I once carried! I am hopeful that I will remain where I am on the scale while in the USA and will weigh there if I can.

Mind: Enjoys edification
Body: Efficient
Spirit: Ebullient
Gratitude: Excitement over upcoming visits with family.
The weather continues to be overcast, windy, and dusty. With is would rain or the dust storm would cease and desist. Mosquito season is upon us and electricity cuts make it difficult to contend with the critters. I will need to buy a mosquito net for the bed, I think!
MICHELLE: So glad you live in paradise and enjoyed your day!

Affirmation: Slow and steady wins the race. Attitude habit builder: Realistic and relaxed Body: Sufficient rest--getting to bed earlier each night. Spirit: Content Gratitude: Modern inventions
Another very windy day today. One of our neighbors has given up and is having a metal roof installed. We did that a number of years ago but it is not possible to tell it is metal since it looks just like a normal roof. However now when the wind that sounds like a freight train comes roaring along we don't loose one single shingle. Also the fence has been propped up with a support system to prevent it from blowing over even though it is not solid. It's a picket fence with plenty of spaced in between. Finally they started closing the highway when this wind gets going due to the big transportation trucks getting blown over. Curious that the highway departments let the problem go on for decades before they began interceding.
Cathy: Sorry about those awful mosquitos. Are they the large type? How will you get the net installed? Do yo have to hang something from the ceiling? We have no mosquitos because they can't breed in these drought conditions or other wise the wildfire smoke does them in. Right now there is no smoke and hopefully there won't be MONTHS like last year. The wind is not blowing inside the house so I am happy!

Affirmation: Finding joy in small things makes me happy
Mind: Feeling good
Body: Fabulous
Spirit: Focused on future fun to come
Gratitude: Family and Friends
Ran errands this morning and have cards this afternoon with friends. Twenty-five days and I will be packed and ready to travel. We did find a mosquito net to try and I bought new pillows and duvet covers and sheets for the bed. Most of mine are stained or faded and having something pretty sounded nice...and it was only 25 dollars for the two beds.
MICHELLE: Lucky you to have no mosquitoes but not so lucky to have the drought. My sister said that they are afraid that soon it will be "fire season" instead of summer when summer rolls around.

Just another work day for me, wrestling with the Paper Tiger which at the moment is the size of King Kong. Nice to remember that the way an elephant is eaten is one bite at a time.
Cathy: Time is flying by, how exciting!!! Glad you found something to buy that you liked. Hopefully the net works to keep the varmits away.

Good day for me today. After it quite snowing I was able to sit out on the deck in the sun for a bit. Took the dogs for several runs but bundled up in the extreme to drive the quad. It was a perfect day since there was no wind. Tomorrow I will get all of the weekly errands done in town.
Cathy: I hadn't thought of the word "gallant" in several decades. Interesting that I was listening to a minster today whose message was "Goodness begets more of the same". I really enjoyed listening to him since he has a pleasant Science of Mind perspective on living.
Onward>>>>
