30 Days to a More Deliberate and Healthy Me

Today was Noah's day. At three and a half he is not only my sweet little boy but also a huge help to me. And he proved himself today.

I'm "B" to Noah because I was "B" to Kathryn and Elizabeth first. They could say "B" from the beginning of their adventure into talking and Noah could too. So aside from Mama and Dada, I was one of the first persons they called by name. Good plan, right?

Every day with Noah is great but today we not only had fun reading, building puzzles and shooting; we also started tearing apart an old love seat so that I can recover it. Pulling stuffing from the cushions and then throwing it around was lots of fun!

We also did one of favorite things: go to the Bixby's to play. This time we both got to play, Noah with the kids and me with Nicole. She taught me how she bakes bread, step by step. We made wheat/white bread and it was wonderful. I hope to bake it myself tomorrow or Friday. Will report then about results.

31 Days to a More Deliberate and Healthy Me

May Day! 

Sounds like a day that needs to have something associated with it, right? Just what I thought when I started looking at the blog bookmark I found a while ago. The Nesting Place challenge of 31 days of change, the perfect way to start this May Day. 

I had bookmarked the blog last September thinking I would join in on the challenge but it did not work for me then. But every time I returned to that post I had the same conviction of a 31 day time of change. 

Within the last week I decided May Day would be the perfect day to start such a challenge.

So today begins 31 Days to a More Deliberate and Healthy Me. Pretty straight forward. 

  1.    Know the necessary tasks of each day and complete them.

  2.    Eat more fruits and vegetables.

  3.    Walk regularly.

  4.    Lose weight instead of gaining.

  5.    Stay on task instead of flitting from one thing to another.

  6.    Check the phone number before answering the phone or let the answering machine answer calls so I will not interrupt what I am doing.

7.    Write notes and send cards to friends and family.

8.    Take the chicken basket out with me when I go to collect eggs. Wash and put eggs in refrigerator.

9.    Give away extra eggs.

This seems like a lot to begin with but I am determined to implement these nine and possibly more into my daily life.

May Day here you are and I am ready for 31 days of change!
