more excited!

Great news which isn't mine to share.  I am excited though, & I do so love being excited (& I repeat myself when I'm excited, I know that too).

I got my 10k steps in, & we got our shopping done.

The frost had cleared for when we went shopping, & there were plenty of tills open in the shops.

Painless experience

I remembered a few items I needed as presents, phew - all taken care of.

I made a start clearing the desk.  I am finally going to bring some order to the paperwork.

Happy

I was going to post about how I'm excited, & how I love getting excited, that I am thrilled to have things to be excited about.  Then I saw that I did that yesterday ;-)

• Today I am thankful for friends.  They encourage me & nurture me, & I love interacting with them.  I love that they enjoy conversing with me, & that I am able to cheer them up. 
• I am thankful that there are people around me who listen, & that there are people who talk to me so I can pay that listening forward.
• I found one of my colouring books.  It's a Celtic design one.  That's my afternoon sorted as I sit & colour that.  I'm happy I have a calming hobby that I can get lost in.
• Meeting friends for a drink this morning & I got to the café in time for a good parking space, whilst there was no queue, & I got us the table with armchairs (rather than dining chairs).  We had a really good chat.
• Was chatting to the woman behind me in the queue (the second time I went up for a drink) and am happy she disappeared off in a different direction ;-)

brain power

I pride myself of being smart.  Today I figured out a calculation, & how it was the explanation that was misleading rather than the calculation being wrong.

I'm glad I got the chance to figure it out.  I feel smart again, I needed it.  I'm glad the boss is so sound, & suggests thinking time.  Yep, calm & breathe.  I love how calm he is. I love how calm husband is. I love being around husband, basking in his calm 💖  & he made me a fab tea.  Hopefully soon he'll make me hot chocolate 💃

& to counter that calm, I love getting excited.  So tonight I got my bounce back.  & I put the bounce to good use on the Kinect.  Husband did so well suggesting that.  Have had a good workout, & now I'm warmed up for weights.  Is so convenient having the bench & the weights rack.  There're no excuses for not using them.  Well except that husband's using the bench as a clothes rack.  Means he can't complain about my mess all over the house.  We're well matched 😍

getting excited

I love getting excited.
I'm doing interview prep, a chance to focus on all the great things I've done, & attitudes I have.
A chance to remember & boost my confidence, realise my worth.

Husband came walkies & we had a lovely chat.
Also had fun uplifting chats with a few friends, & via the blogs.

Cleaned the sink, it's lovely when it sparkles, & cleaned a few surfaces.
Weights with husband, I can see the progress I'm making.
Yoga, am less sore now.

Remembering the things that help me feel better, & doing them.

A new chapter

& a new commitment to post every day

• I have time
• I have holiday & free time & room to think about what to do next
• I have the energy & resources to find a new hobby
• I am curious & interested & plenty grabs my attention
• there is so much potential for projects around me

I slept well, & everything looks rosy.

I'm back!

can't believe I haven't posted in a few months.  Time flies - am thankful for being busy.

New job.  So excited.  I love getting excited, plenty to get learning, to get improving, & to get enjoying.

New course is going well.  Is easy enough & quite interesting.

The mentoring is going well, am thankful for the nudge to keep me on track.  Also my mentee is enjoying the sessions & finding them useful.  Double score ;-)

Have got myself an exercise routine!  Am seeing progress with the running, & possibly with the strength & conditioning.

Went a-visiting yesterday.  Always relieved when we catch trains ok & get our seats without bother.

Hope

it's the first of the month
time to set new challenges,
30 active minutes a day, 10,000 steps a day, 750 words a day & an act of kindness a day!

& the websites / logs to prove it :-)
I like fresh starts, I am thankful we get them so often.
I'm thankful that the challenges, & the support, are there.
& we started series 3 of continuum today,
a new start for a new start!

friends & fun

• today I had a really good laugh, tears rolling down the face, side -splitting laughs where you're laughing too hard even for sound to come out.
• We had a really good bonding session at work.

• My friend got a job offer from an interview she's just had.
• another one is feeling positive & happy :-)
• I have tickets booked to visit my brother & his family :-)

excited

• I was in a good mood & had plenty to do & the day passed well.
• I am inspired about my story, & 750 words has given me a good place to make sure I work on it - even if I develop an idea a time.
• Remembered to put the washing on, & to text my friend.
• Earned a new fitbit badge
• Turned the dodgy sheep head into a mouse, comedy value & a guilt free way to redo the head

Friends

I am thankful for my friends, that even after months of quiet we can get back in touch.
I am thankful that I made it out & back in the sunny bits of a rainy day.
I am thankful being inside on rainy day.
I am thankful I remembered to go back to the shop for all my ingredients before I started cooking.
I am thankful I did some study & revision is going well.

I am excited for several friends who are about to embark on adventures!
I am thankful that I can get excited, that I find so many things to get excited about, & it always makes me smile & puts me in a good mood!

New projects

so I entered my first netrunner competition!  I built my own deck, minimal advice from husband.  Even remembered to put click counters into the box!  I was so excited, so pleased with myself.  I get so excited about things.
Turned up without but I got to borrow decks.  Won a few games.  Got some cards, time to start sleeving my collection.  Just need to choose some sleeves, so many options.
Mentoring went really well.  Husband remembered to order things for me (without being asked) so I have milk for breakfast & the bunnies have hay.
I've even settled down to study. 
Got loads of new projects to start on, plenty to get excited about :-)
