16 of 100 ... Slow Progression


A good day, if I could get rid of the sniffling, coughing and hurting. All in time, I guess.  The weather is supposed to change, and so long as it doesn't rain, I should be able to make progress into my priority.  It is my priority, and yet I have made little progress towards it. Somehow, somewhere, I need to fight back and not risk my health in the process.

My Day's Report: 


Habits:
- Clean Sink: yes
- Cups of Water:4
- Hours of sleep: 7h 30m
- Meds: yes
- Reading: yes!

(Day 21 is 3 weeks, and I need to add another habit on that day ... hmm ... what will it be?  Let's see if I can have a yes on all of these and 5 cups of water or more for these last 5 days before adding the next??)
 

Goal Advancement for today:
R:  I made plans to go for lunch tomorrow with one of the girls from work

P:  I desperately need new glasses, so I figured out when to make an eye appointment and made it.  Not sure how I'll bring this all together, but this is where it starts. 
PD: Read more in the book I'm reading & made notes.  There are questions but haven't done those yet.  I wonder how things would change if I read consistently at a different time of the day?  
(E-Environment, P:Physical, F:Financial, PA: Prof/Personal Development, R: Relationships.)


Gratitude:
1/ Today, I'm grateful for the invite for lunch tomorrow.
2/ Today, I'm sooo grateful that I have the chance to see GK one more time before she moves!  This friendship is truly a gift to me ... came out of no where and has been such an encouragement to me through some tough times!  I'm going to miss her so much! Friday will be tough but I'm glad her dreams are coming together! 
3/ Today, I'm grateful to have taken the time to read at lunch.  I always want to get going on things when I read or do any work on my goals, but I had to go back to work. Maybe I should read upon getting home?  Then I could DO something!
4/ Today, I'm grateful that I caught a message on FB that was between my two cousins.  Something is going on behind my brother's back and I'm glad I could twig him into it.  Why can't people honour the intent of the dead?  Why do people insist on turning things around for their profit and selfishness sense of entitlement?  I might not agree with everything my Aunt put in her will, but I definitely honour it.  It seems like my brother and I are the only ones. 
5/ Today, I'm grateful that I have friends that feel comfortable enough to push me into uncomfortable places.  RA challenged me, and it was good.  I know there is much that she doesn't know, but even in the changing, it is good. It gets me to evaluate and look at things from her perspective. It's up to my honesty to evaluate how much knowing the whole picture influences the facts in her perspective. It's good to have people in my life that do that, and that I can still care about her, regardless of the outcome. I think a sign of a good relationship is the ability to disagree and not let it affect the relationship.

** A small extra grateful moment - I found out a former student of mine passed away recently.  She was in her 30s, and as far as I can figure out, it was from cancer.  I remember has a vivacious girl where interaction was more important than classes.  I didn't get to know her really well, but it still saddened me to know she has passed on. I guess right now, with all that is happening to me, it's sobering to know that life is precious, regardless of who we are. Tonight, I think of her parents, her husband and her friends that are missing her.
