Progress...feeling good =)

I don't have anything new to add so far today, no new green efforts or discoveries, no new recipes, ..... I simply feel like updating and musing about my progress. I am feeling kind of good today. I am tired. That hasn't changed. But, at least at this moment, I am not grumpy, feeling sorry for myself, cursing anything, or dreaming about going to a spa for the weekend. (well.......) I believe that my efforts toward feeling better are working. I really do. While cooking healthier adds its own stress to the situation (it takes much longer than opening a can and heating something, which throws our eve. schedule off a bit) every other aspect is great. I made the garden salad that I posted yesterday and everyone loved it. I feel good b/c everyone is eating well. I'm not getting outside as much as I feel I should, but I have a reluctant toddler, so there's not much I can do about that during the week. I encourage (but could even do more of that.) I've done yoga twice in the past week, and *my kids did it with me!!* And of course I continue to seek ways to be less toxic and kinder to the environment and ourselves. I am seeing the effects of my efforts on my family right away, as well as interest from those around me. That definitely helps to keep me on the ball and motivated. I am also pleased with my efforts to reduce stress when possible. I have done my Christmas shopping and ordered the cards. (better late...) And so on. It's good to feel good. =)
