I've been thinking alot about determination lately. How it takes determination to get things accomplished, how I sometimes lack determination, how I can find ways to keep up my determination, because some things require it long term. I am determined to get my weight issues under control. It is time and I am going to, as the commercials say, "just do it". I even made the cutest little 'journal' for myself. The idea is from Donna Downey's "Decorative Journals", an index card journal. The cover is colorful and makes we want to look at it, use it. Perfect for a journal. On the first page I journaled about determination, why I need to do this and what my actual goals are. I love having something little to tuck in my purse so it can go everywhere I do. I also like having the goals and whys so close at hand, which has already helped me more than once resist temptation.
Next item of interest (at least to me) ... My 2 1/2 year old DD just started her "pre" pre-school program, Exploring with 2's. I'm so excited and sad at the same time. How in the world did she get old enough to be going to any kind of schooling yet??? And I didn't get to be there since I'm working. But DH says she loved it; the kids, the teacher, the toys, everything. He also informed me that she was little miss social butterfly. So very much like her daddy. :)
On another note ... I found some new teas at the local coffee and tea shop. I'm not really a teabag person but the names of these were just so enticing I couldn't pass them up. Numi Tea has really given their teas some cool names: Water Spirit Ginger Oolong Tea, Dry Desert Lime Herbal Teasan, Monkey King Jasmine Green Tea, Aged Earl Grey Italian Bergamont Black Tea, Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Green Tea. I'm going to be trying them at snack time today. Which one to choose????
And yet another item ... I'm teaching my first class at Memory Lane this Saturday. I'm looking forward to it and am a little nervous. It is for an altered cigar box with a little album inside. Way cool and it uses one of my favorite paper lines - Chatterbox. Amy (the manager) was inspired by a sample at CHA for the design of the project and I can see why if the sample was anything like what she designed.
It's snack time so I need to pick my tea and get to brewing. :)
