Very good advice Rita. Now, if only I can start using some of your suggestions.

I usually walk and go up these very steep steps as many times as I can a day.

Before Rita gets out her can of....




...I try to do what Deb and I yak about:
Just do ONE thing a day...make it simple.
Don't overwhelm myself with a list a mile
long and then say, "Oh sh*t!!! It's toooo
much!!!"
Seems like accomplishing ONE thing at a
time helps me to not think too much about
ALL I think I "should" to be doing.

Oh....and another thing:

I try not to think myself into a corner
with my negativity...

I need to save this can of Whoop Ass for
possible use sometime in the future. LOL


This is a wonderful way to put this...

I try not to think myself into a corner
with my negativity...

I'll try to keep this in mind.

corner...the can of whoopass
is used a lot on me...

Now this quote is a keeper. I never thought about it this way. Think myself into a corner - yep - brings on that fright or flight or hide under the bed, LOL. I think you are on to something sissy - maybe peeps we know like Wolf ( a friend here in Alabama not Jukeboxgeorge, LOL) can hand that up as a New Year's Slogan!!!! Heck, maybe I need to, LOL.

Yeppers, all the good food and having your house all decorated and blinking is fun but actually I was glad to get back to normal. To fight my winter blues I have been cleaning out and throwing away. Kim bought her a new bedroom suite so with cleaning out her room to make new for the new we have also cleaned out closets, thrown away tons of stuff - Steve is so tired of going to the dump and goodwill, LOL. I love getting rid of all of this clutter and have scared Steve to death with all of my "Ideas" and painting list. As Jessie mentioned, I am trying to make myself remember only one thing at a time. I project at a time and not go into the twilight zone, LOL.
Wish me luck........
