Hit my 10,000 steps as I got back to the school to pick up Ezie after walking the wetlands. Super low tide so walked on the beach for a bit. Last week was super high tide plus the rain so no beach at all to walk on. Rain held off which was nice. Weather was overcast but warm enough. Wore a sweatshirt but got too warm so wore my tank top for 1/2 the walk
Rain will be back Saturday so will walk tomorrow.
Saw an amazing hawk while walking- just sat in the tree right above me

Dinner will just be left overs beings son and his girlfriend went out to eat last night and dh ate at his mom's so wasn't very hungry(did eat a little later in the evening.)
Made a huge pan of almond chicken and some mini spring rolls plus rice. I had a small bowl after Zumba class- very small amount of rice under my almond chicken- TONS of veggies in it.

Went out to dinner. Had blackened salmon, black beans, unfortunately they were out of the veges so had a house salad (no dressing), just water to drink. However, I did have part of this chocolate dessert, sort of a mousse.

It is at trying times like this that people reach for whatever spiritual practices that provide guidance. I'm reading a book now called "Reasons Not to Worry" that is one school of thought on how to handle tough times. There are many others, including what you suggested to her.

I can't believe it took me six years to ask for that...

Much love from sunny, balmy, Arkansas,

On asking ... one of the things my mentor at work is encouraging me to do is to ask more. If I ask, the answer will might be "no" and things will remain as they are but I know where I stand, or the answer might be "yes" and I'll get what I want, or the answer might be a negotiation and compromise process and I might get some of what I want.

Just yesterday I asked about a work from home pattern. I knew I could work from home one day a week and that it had to be consistent. In other words I couldn't work from home on Monday next week, Thursday the following week, Wednesday the week after and so on as my whims desired.

I have Fridays off every other week, so I asked if I could work from home on the Thursday when I have Fridays off, and the Friday when I work the full week ... alternating days on the last work day of my week.

And my supervisor approved it!!

@LisaInArkansas ...

Have you thought about using the boat as a feature in your garden?

Debbie - Bone density is sort of like an X-ray/CT scan. I just laid on the bed and the machine went over me. Quite comfortable actually.
Here in AB they aren’t covered until you turn 50, the first time I had one I had an appointment the day before my birthday at the same location so tried to book it at the same time, I couldn’t until my birthday even though it was only the day before.

Vicki - I love coo-coo clocks.

Heather - A beautiful table. That Bea speaks from the heart.

Lanette - I had a cousin die of carbon monoxide poisoning, the $30 or so is money well spent.
So easy to install as well, especially if you have an older furnace they are very important.

I would really like one more room and maybe 3 feet wider than I have. It’s mostly so I would be more comfortable when people are visiting, we are quite fine here on our own otherwise.

Allie - glad to see Kyle came around, his temper would scare me. I understand her fear but being this worked up can’t be healthy.

Michele - there are some things I will buy store brands, but there are some things I absolutely will only do brand name.

Machka - that’s great that you get to work from home one day a week.

I worked on a way to decorate the wall at the end of the table. I think I have a plan, that might be a Saturday project though. My new cabinet came just as I was going to ceramics so I want to get that together tomorrow after my exam.

I mostly finished my snowman tonight, I need to clear coat it and put some snow at the base.

Off to bed, I have an exam in the morning.

One of the insights I have gained over my long life, and I share in my new book, NOW I AM, is that it is OK to ask for what you want. In my younger life I was not good at this, and feared getting the answer 'No'. The possibility of rejection stopped me even asking.
In my early forties I started attending personal growth seminars and courses, and that was one of the biggest learnings I came away with. It's amazing how often you do get what you want, people are often happy to help, and, if you don't, nothing is lost.
So, great job, Machka!
Great job, Lisa!

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

DDIL took the kids up to London yesterday. They went to some light exhibition at Tate Modern and then St Paul's Cathedral. I can't believe how much Max has grown!

We have Bea this afternoon.

Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Friday -- nice warm sunny day

Garden
Walk
Cycling!!

Later in the evening, I was walking Rhody and he seemed exceptionally interested in what was under one hedge. We all know that there has been an animal under there because it has left a few droppings. I started to get a little bit concerned when he stayed with his head and upper body under the hedge longer than usual. Usually, he ducks under to have a sniff or two and he's out again. And then all of a sudden, he dragged something out.

It was a dead rat!

No, he had not killed it because it was stiff as a board. I don't know how it died!

But he evidently smelled it and wanted it as his new plaything!
