Friday Favorites
♥ that photo above. I Love Lucy has always been one of my very favorite shows. I LOVE the look on Lucy's face in the above photo. Click the photo link. It's an amazing tumblr dedicated to everyone's favorite redhead.
♥ It's almost Girl Scout Cookie time! YAY! all the cooking/baking blogs I follow are all raving about the new Mango sandwich cookie debuting this year. Did you know that girl scouts used to bake the cookies themselves and they cost about 35 cents a dozen? I found this little history article really fun to read!
♥ Still sober for January, and I actually feel and look better if I do say so myself. However I couldn't help but be intrigued by the fact that Starbucks has introduced "Starbucks Evenings" and is NOW SERVING WINE!! In select locations. But did you hear me? WINE AT STARBUCKS PEOPLE!
♥ In addition to being sober for January, I was also trying to go sugar free...well that feel through the crapshoot. But I found THIS RECIPE and blog post about gals that are sugar free for January very inspiring.
♥ HEARTS!! ♥
♥ We needed bigger hearts!! ♥

Have a great weekend!

ch-ch-changes
I just went and edited my "about me" user profile.
I can't believe I used to be such a happy person that I asked people to join me while tripping the light fantastic. I mean, that was mostly tongue in cheek and very sarcastic and a reference to something my mother said long ago. But, I still can't get over how...completely immersed I was in happiness and positive thinking. I faked it really hard for a long time in order to change myself into an actual happy person.
It really worked.
Till the world killed it.
Also, I have no idea how I removed my profile picture, but I somehow did. Oops.

Throw a little glitter on it

I approve of myself
Hi.
Happy Tuesday.
I think...and I don't want to jinx it here...but I think I am actually recovered from all of my various illness'. It's only day 2, but I think I might be ok now. *fingers crossed*
Anyhow, I am grateful that this happened at the start of the week and that I can try to make the most of it from the start. Yesterday was pretty well rounded, I got some exercise by doing half my usual walk ( I was still not ready for Bootcamp Mondays yet, I am planning it for next Monday by hopefully building toward it this week), I ate well, pretty well, I slipped when I got home...I was able to concentrate better at work and I went home and was able to concentrate on playing Ukelele and reading! I went back to Louise L. Hay's You Can Heal Your Life as I abandoned it when I got sick last month and couldn't focus. The exercise was very interesting and I have put it into practice today and would like to share it with you:
Exercise: I Approve of Myself
I have given this exercise to hundreds of people, and the results are phenomenal. For the next month, say over and over, “I APPROVE OF MYSELF.”
Do this three or four hundred times a day, at least. No, it’s not too many times. When you are worrying, you go over your problem at least that many times. Let, “I approve of myself” become a walking mantra, something you just say over and over to yourself, almost nonstop.
It is a guaranteed way to bring up everything buried in your consciousness that is in opposition.
When negative thoughts come up, such as, “How can I approve of myself when I am fat?” or “It’s silly to think this can do any good,” or “I am no good,” or whatever your negative babble will be, this is the time to take mental control. Give these thoughts no importance. Just see them for what they are—another way to keep you stuck in the past. Gently say to these thoughts, “I let you go; I approve of myself.”
Thoughts have no power over us unless we give in to them. Thoughts are only words strung together. They have no meaning whatsoever. Only we give meaning to them. Let us choose to think thoughts that nourish and support us.
