How does that expression go? A day late and a dollar short? Back to my regularly scheduled Wednesday update next week but in the meantime... here are the updates on the 3 items I've been working on:
1. Drink more water. I think I'm actually, finally making progress on this one! For several weeks now I've been limiting myself to only my morning coffee and one soda per day. Everything else is water. I am still far short of the "recommended daily allowance" of my H20 but still, it's a lot more water than I was drinking before I started this. If I keep this up one more week, I may actually move it to the "accomplished and still going strong" list. Yay!
2. Grump less. I've been working really, really hard on this. I think my original goal was to be happy and chipper and positive all the time. What I've realized is that's not possible... that's not life. That realization alone has done wonders for me. Dare I say this may also move to the "accomplished and still going strong" list by next week?!?
3. Find and read a book to better myself. My friend Brenda sent me a great package of goodies, including a book called The Shack. It sounds really good and she told she's shared it with others who loved it as much as she did. I can't wait to start reading it! Here's a description, from Amazon.com:
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him.
Still going strong with:
Better skin care
Looks like I will need 2 more things for my list next week... I think I'm going to follow Julie's lead on her item #3 (which I've actually been working on since I saw it on her list last week). Let's see what else I can come up with...
What are you working on this week? Whatever it is, you can do it! Leave a comment so we can encourage you as you go!

You're going to love The Shack!
Ditto. The Shack really helped me, but I know for others, they found it too controversial, not me.
I look forward to hearing what you think!
You're doing awesome!
