Choose the Bigger Life

It's Monday, but a holiday (MLK day) so it's a clear day on the calendar again.  Tomorrow starts "lots of things," but today is another home day.

Bring on the house chores and such.  Got some cooking to do, sheets, paperwork, etc.  Get ready for the week.

Here are a few snow pictures from Asheville.  So pretty.

And from my bedroom window in GA.

Yesterday I mentioned the vision board of things looking toward my future self.  I decided why not try to get that look started and ready for our anniversary trip in November.  I ordered the dress from Amazon (only $35) and ordered a sunhat for BIG heads (need a speciality store).  

It's essentially my NEW green dress situation.  Something to strive toward.  I'm missing that right now.

Speaking of that -- I'm set to hit 500 rides on the Peloton this week and I'm thinking of doing a live ride.  This'll take a little work to time everything, but it might be fun.  It's time to start moving forward again.  January has been a sit back, slide back month and I'm ready to move ahead.

Where does this start?  MY DIET as always (energy).  I'm super sensitive to certain foods and yet I'm eating too much of them.  Cleaning that up this week -- where have I heard that before??  Oh, yeah, from me ... over and over.  Life's work or something I give up on too many times?  Good lord.  

Anyway, I'm reminding myself of my birthday year motto -- Choose the Bigger Life.  And, for me, that means make all those LITTLE decisions that add up to a great year, month, week, day.  The little decisions are easy to blow off but man they make a huge difference.  "Little by little, a little becomes a lot."

Like ... take the live ride.  Make the new plant recipe.  Order the fun dress.  Start planning a bigger garden.  Take a walk somewhere new.  Try a Peloton boxing class.  

Change things up.  Add variety.  Focus forward.

That's my pep talk today.  I hope I listened well.  Hope you have a great start to the week.  Later gators.
