Accountable

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 4:30 am

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about health and wellness and wondering why I haven’t been making all the right choices with my own wellness as of late. For the most part my eating is great. I eat the right things and stay within my calorie ranges, but the exercise motivation has left the building. I’ll exercise for a few days and then I’ll stop. I KNOW it’s a matter of just ‘doing it’, but I haven’t been able to get to that point.

I think it’s time to get my new site off the ground and to start being accountable to myself. Every day is a new day!

30 Days- Day 24

Day 24- Something that makes you cry, in great detail.

I’m a very emotional person, so I tend to cry easily. Couple that with the fact that I am extremely empathetic and that would make me a crybaby by many people’s standards.

MANY things make me cry- both the happy and the sad.

To name a few- Happy meetings at airports (even when they aren’t my own), Death, Hormones, Seeing another extremely happy or sad, Hallmark commercials or anything that evokes emotion, Television shows, Emails, Facebook Status messages, and the list goes on.

30 Days- Day 23

Filed under: 30 Days To... — gardener @ 4:12 am

It seems like other little things keep popping up that keep me from spending any time on the computer aside from work. Here I am a day later but better late than never, right? That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

Day 23- Something that makes you feel better, in great detail.

This isn’t very specific, so I’m not sure in what context it’s meant, so I’ll be broad with my response.

When I’m sick, aside from medication making me feel better, knowing that there is someone there to offer me a kind word, to do something for me to make my life a little bit easier are all things that make me feel better.

When I am struggling (and since I often struggle in silence- there are few who would know), it makes me feel better to know that someone cares or to know that they are thinking of me.

Love- That makes everything better.

Starting Somewhere

Filed under: Shop til ya Drop,Techy — gardener @ 4:00 am

Mom is probably going to love me for writing this here, but she and I have been talking for a couple of years about starting a new business together. Technically, she would be the mastermind behind the business and I would take care of the technical side and do the Internet part of it. It’s something that I know would be successful, but this is one of those cases where I think we’ve talked long enough about the venture and now it’s time to start making it happen.

Yesterday I started looking into custom business card designs for what will become mom’s business. I have been thinking about logo designs and hope to create several designs that she’ll like. Once she makes the choice (or I’ll choose if she’s resistant), I’ll use the logo for the site, the business cards and also for the labels that we add to the products.

I know mom is going to be successful even if it means me giving her a little push to get the momentum going. Once the business cards are done and a few other things are taken care of; she’ll be ready to go, and I’ll be standing there cheering her on, ready to offer a hand when I can.
