I am feeling overwhelmed today. I went to the library on Tuesday and
checked out 4 books. (I only wanted one. Stephen King's 11/23/63, but it
was out, and it had 19 holds on it.) So I got three budgeting books and
one naked eating book. (I am not about to eat while naked, but
apparently eating food that is naked can reap health benefits ;-)
Anyway, I started reading the naked eating book and the a "How you can be a total bad ass and save hundreds of dollars with coupons*" book. I'm not feeling so bad-assed.
The ladies in the coupon book are trying to convince me that it doesn't take a lot of time to clip and use coupons and save beaucoup bucks. Then they tell me I have to be meticulous with timing so I can catch items on sale and use the coupon. What? Anyway, as negative as I sound right now, I am still going to try it.
Besides, today's blog post is sponsored by Linda Sherwood. She is a source of inspiration to me in many ways.
Today her blog post was about naming the things about self to love. We often, way too often find the things that we hate about ourselves, so in my quest to be more Zen, I will list at least 5 things I love about myself below:
1. I love that I have transformed myself into a being who is not quick to anger.
2. I love that I am not a hatta (hater). I am a loving, welcoming and accepting person.
3. I love that I am determined.
4. I love that I can let things go. Each day I unload some more baggage and am able to live more freely.
5. I love my sense of humor.
Wow, that was hard. What a great exercise. It was very difficult for me to list five things that I love about myself without explaining why someone else is responsible for it. It is difficult to focus on the good things about me and not reflect on the totally awesome people I share my life with everyday. It is difficult for me just to say - I love me.
Thanks Linda!!
* That is so not the real name of the book.

It IS very hard not to credit someone else. I realized that on one of mine I gave myself a negative thing too. I said I was honest and then didn't shut up and added "almost to a fault." It is hard to stay positive!
