I'm not sure how I'll push myself out the door when it's minus some horrible number.<BR/><BR/>I did the Calgary marathon back in 2004 - I still wear my belt buckle (finisher's medal) proudly every stampede! <BR/><BR/>Love the deconstructed branch - so beautiful!Prairie Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05383116242097899456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-89017542288747820842008-10-28T09:57:00.000-06:002008-10-28T09:57:00.000-06:00Close your eyes and consider this: picture yourself doing only one thing. No - it's not a joke. Now close your eyes. And think about what you would most enjoy doing at this very moment. <BR/><BR/>Picture yourself doing ONLY that one thing right now. And do it. Do ONLY one thing at a time. You'll find more contentment and satisfaction in the activity and its outcome.<BR/><BR/>This is what I have begun doing lately, to help tune out the chaos and noise that seem so disruptive at this time.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps. It has made me a happier person lately.Kelli A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12104193679777246510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-3134576414807979922008-10-28T07:18:00.000-06:002008-10-28T07:18:00.000-06:00Raina thank you so much for mentionning my boutique here!
