Friday - Weekend Begins

Busy, busy morning.  I postponed Costco again so I have a bunch of things to get through before company arrives (and they are coming a little earlier than expected).

I'm choosing to look at this experience in a positive light.  I saw a Tony Robbins quote ... paraphrasing ... the words you use to describe your experience BECOME your experience.  I need better words.  This can (and will) be a good experience if I frame it that way -- choose to see the positive, not dwell on the loss (my empty nest lol), but focus on the gain.

In other news -- PMS over.  Crampy all night, but it can only get better from here.  I should feel well by tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

My dog is beautiful and smells sweet again.  Leg day was good (not as hard as I expected) and I did some arms when I got home.  Another rest day today.  Crown was awesome - only one more episode.

Plans for tomorrow got postponed.  I'm not horribly disappointed.  Top Golf is super fun, but always a huge wait and super busy.  Since this is Valentine's weekend, I bet it was going to be over-the-top crazy.  And we are going out tonight.

I see an ease in my ROUTINE, my healthy RYTHM during the witching hours.  It won't be perfect (never is) but the level 8 or 9 is down to a 2 or 3.  Very manageable.  The pantry has quieted down (even though it's full).  Cheese doesn't entice me either.  I LOVE drinking the kombucha in the afternoon.  It's a healthier routine and it helps with the afternoon munchies.

I read something (a blog or FB post) and the person mentioned loving RITUAL DRINKING.  Yes!  That's me.  Ritual in the morning (coffee and tea ... same mugs, etc).  Starbucks sipping late morning. I LOVE going to a coffee shop. I think the desire for wine is more the enjoyment of the RITUAL.  Kombucha has given me a healthy RITUAL.  It's helped quell the desire for wine at home (non-social occasions).  Realizing what the craving is about has helped me form a better habit.  Progress.

Okay - time to get cleaning and my errands run.  This morning will fly by.  My INTENTION today is to choose BETTER WORDS.  HAPPY is always available and I will make it a HAPPY day.
