Joining Juliann for 2019 One Little Word Update and Kat for Unraveled Wednesday.
Both raveling and reading over the past few days have been sporadic, preempted by assorted other activities- just life! I finished Forest Bathing Retreat (shared last week)- really like that book – and have begun the lovely book, pictured, that my friend Laura gifted to me; the card is from my quilting association.
My 2019 word Habit finds me at the half-way point – still working on eliminating some, revising others and creating new ones. I think that’s the way it works. I’ve come to conclude that the hardest habits to get a firm grip on are those I most want to change-up or eliminate. Many are the result of influential (at the time) circumstances; I have no idea as to when/why and how created, evolved or simply showed up. They are just there and require my intention as well as my attention! So, as is my habit – pun intended – I seek and experiment with all sorts of tricks, novel ideas, etc to make changes … I have been making progress, for the most part, in writing one-off notes in one place.*
The best news of all: Today, Elias is TWO! and grown enough to fit in big brother Chris’ coat. We celebrate tomorrow!
Wishing you the best Thanksgiving ever.
Cheers~
*This requires concerted effort but I sense it is on the verge of becoming a desired new habit! However, looking at my desk, currently, one might question…I do! The name of the game: If you don’t succeed, try, try again!

I caught up on a few podcasts last week and listened to this one http://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts-episode-03-charles-duhigg – it’s all about habits, especially the How and the Why. Highly recommend! (and the books he’s written sound pretty good, too). Have you heard of him?
