Day by Day

My little changes are still going well. I've fallen off the wagon a few times, but I just dust off and try again. So far the changes I've made are: getting up an hour earlier to exercise before work, trying not to raise my voice at the boys when I'm frustrated, not drinking sodas--I still have my "morning coffee" of caffeine, but I drink it in Tea instead; started actually getting ready in the morning i.e. fixing my hair and putting on makeup, usually I just throw my hair in a ponytail and run out the door.

These changes are helping me become less stressed, trying to calm down a bit and not be so tightly wound about everything. I'm still trying to find a way to better schedule my days. I'm in a little deep with college classes, work, volunteering, and the boys sports. Thank goodness we've got a break from sports until December when Basketball starts up, then it will be a whirlwind of activities until the Summertime. I'm getting my oldest involved in the volunteer work so he can see what it's like to help someone else & we can spend some time together.

I've been learning how to verbal my feelings more & not be scared of how others will react. Those of you that actually know me, may find that surprising, but I've always been afraid of ruining relationships by sharing my feelings, so I usually keep them to myself. I'm trying to be more honest with the people close to me so that I might have deeper more meaningful relationships instead of the flighty, superficial ones I've had in the past.

So this all really is day by day.
