What a great idea!!!! I'm going to add a few of my own because it will help me plan my agenda LOL.

Today

I choose to take time to walk in the sunshine and notice how beautiful summer really is.

I choose to remove myself from anything negative and keep my space filled with positive energy.

I choose to get my daily chores done early, so I can enjoy the day anyway I want.

I choose to call my best friend because I have been meaning to for too long.

I choose to include gratitude in my prayers, and be grateful that the list is long.

I choose to make healthy choices - in my diet and in my actions.

I choose to have a wonderful day - because I can.

Hey Ann!

I took that same walk today.
I am savoring every moment of this beautiful summer after the sweltering hot-box we lived through last summer. Low humidity and clear blue skies are such a wonderful thing. I'm not taking one second of this for granted.
Peace,
Gabe

Today is a new day - same choices for me!!! Except the "call a friend" because I already did and talked for over an hour.

We have had one glorious summer - textbook beautiful. And I am loving every minute of the first summer I have taken off in over 30 years. It could become a habit LOL.

And one addition....today I choose to do my laundry because we have a long weekend coming up and I am going to enjoy every second of it with my hubby, who has a birthday on Sunday!!!!

Hugs
Ann

Still Learning, Gabe....

Are we the only ones making choices here???? I just know that there are lurkers reading these that can make a choice to be happy...just one little choice..and who are dying to tell us about it!

I choose to keep coming back here to see if anyone has some suggestions and choices that I can use to make my day even better.

Hugs

Today I choose to:

Ask liddy "What time is dinner?"....

Read this board while I'm work. (Oooooooooo, don't tell. But I'm not scared. I sleep with the boss. I'm also married to him... )

Not fret about the 2 Little Debbie Oatmeal pies I ate while waiting in the drive thru at Taco Bell for my Chicken Taco Salad. I always get the 'chicken' taco salad because it is less fattening...

Vacuum my house

Ok, vacuum by bedroom, for starters.

Ok, alright....LOOk at the vacuum and think hard about plugging it in. That is, unless something better comes along after I get home from my Al Anon meeting. But then again, I get home about 8:15 and still have to think of something for supper. And, gosh, after finally figuring out what's for supper (either pick up at Chinese or local yocal restaurant) and then eating it, I say it's waaaaaaaaaaay too late to vacuum.

I say vacuuming can come later. Afterall, (as Scarlett always says,) "Tomorrow is another day!"

And I will not worry about if I spelled 'vacuum' correctly, I know it has 2 of something in it....2 "C's", 2 "U's"....oh, who cares???? Ya'll figure it out!
