    hmmmmm ok well here are my three for today....

    1 - I got through the day even though I had to cover someone else's job at work today as well as my own and the day did not go to the plan I thought it would.
    2 - My puppies always put a smile on my face when I get home and they are always so happy to see me.
    3 - I was able to laugh at things today which would normally frustrate me and just brush them off.

    Tomorrow: I will not place to high expectations on myself, not that goals etc are not important but I had an uh huh moment today when I realised sometimes I am to hard on myself and need to give myself credit for the great things I already do and not focus so much on what I don't have done.

    love your ahha moment snikkers :-) well done :-)

    so mine for today

    1. even though i woke up late I still got on the exercise bike before doing anything else this morning - and managed to stay on for 10 minutes (i'm weaning myself on to it okay ;-) )
    2. actually got a kid to do what I wanted him to do in an assessment today :-) yay me...
    3. having a friend over tonight to help me plan the curriculum for a course I'm going to teach next year at a uni (which is terrifying but fantastic all at the same time) so I will enjoy two days in a row with friend company :-)

    tomorrow: I will stay focused on task at work and get some report writing started - and try not to get distracted by the bosses silly requests and other people's chatter

    my turn, well done on the exercise bike, any amount of exercise is good whether it is 10 minutes or 30.....

    today...

    1 - I am happy that even though I had a big long meeting all day I did not come home from it overwhelmed like I normally would.
    2 - I managed when I got home to prepare the mixture for a mud cake mind you 4x the normal amount of mixture as I am making a cake for a baby shower... so got the mixture done and dinner cooked as well as tidied the kitchen cake is in the oven cooking as we speak.
    3 - and thankful I am feeling just generally ok, I have had my moments lately but today feeling good.

    Tomorrow: not a big aim I just aim to try and get through the day with a smile and do what I can, as I will be up late tonight and have a 6:30 work start in the morning then after work home to do some cake decorating....

    Ah my turn the pure joy of getting a child to do what you need in an assessment pure bliss I tell you! And snickers making a cake is good but for a baby shower is hero status!

    For me
    1. I too got a child to do as I need to at work today and this in turn helped the parent which made me smile

    2. We are at the beach tonight and with a glass of wine it is just so relaxing

    3. The warm weather was just beautiful today.


    Tomorrow I am going to get on to the piling reports so that by the weekend I don't have to think about work. Now that will be nice.

    so today....

    1. darling stepdaughter was out for the day so got to spend an uninterrupted day with DH - afternoon nap and all ( )
    2. managed to get a large chunk of christmas shopping done :-)
    3. feeling generally content - and satisfied - probably helps that DH is home just in time - supposed to 'o' this weekend

    so tomorrow.... will make sure I keep up my exercise bike routine in the AM - and get DH on track to meet me at the gym in the evening and on track with weekly menu.

    Thanks Keta, I had my moments making the cake let me tell you, but focused more on the actual decorating and outcome of how it looked rather than what it was for, so very proud of my acheivement...

    1- I had a fairly good day even though I was tired when I woke up and thought I did not want to go to work
    2 - I went to the gym this afternoon and feel good because of this.. (I had not been for 2 weeks)
    3 - I am thankful for those people in my life who are supportive and genuinely care.

    tomorrow: I am going to have a very productive day getting lots of work done at work as it is so busy!!

    feeling kinda crappy this afternoon so this is probably a good exercise....

    1. managed to learn a new assessment tool and talk through it with other psychs in my peer supervision group this afternoon
    2. realised I HAD changed something in a document I sent last night (thought I was going to have to re-email it and would feel like an idiot)
    3. I got on the bike for 9 minutes this morning (even though when I got out of bed i thought I wasn't going to... it was like my body was in auto mode and just went there!)

    tomorrow: I will use my earphones at work to make sure I have a productive day with all the reports I have to write...



    Zig -- so I'm wondering if DH has continued to be his brilliant self??

    Snikkers -- Are you still putting excess pressure on yourself? or has the ah ha moment lasted??

    Keta -- another warm night for you -- back to the beach tonight??


    Hi to Maruschke, N2L and anyone else I've missed or who might be stalking
