And the importance of punctuation. “Consume, Marry, …” instead of “Consume Mary”…😂

Happy Birthday- lots to celebrate!!! You are awesome! Very impressed by your strength and determination to come through such difficulties and then to devote your efforts to care for others and your goat family. 🎁🎉🥂🎈🎈🎈🎈

Nice! You’re already making each of your days worth living.

Since my retirement, the days can blend together and not feel as fulfilling. I’m working on being a bit more purposeful while really enjoying being retired.

But we get up again. That’s our strength…

Yes! Exactly. I have been pretty naive in the past and allowed myself to get triggered into engaging in useless bickering.

I’m working on developing a better ability to discern sincerity right now.

I have one in my basement (very dusty)… Thank you for reminding me! I loved it and this is a good time to bring it back into use (it’s cold here so a bit less fun being outside)

I’m aiming at a few a day. Each time I succeed at all 10, I’m going to do something towards and end of the year celebration (l’m dreaming of a trip to Italy and Greece so maybe…)

I got up early my whole career and can’t sleep in even after retirement. I’m working on trying to sleep in without much success. 😩

My husband- he’s with you. Early is getting up anytime before noon…

My night owl husband prefers your take and defines “get up early” as anytime before noon (retired so his bedtime is typically 2:am ish). I’m up early and love to savor my coffee and just enjoy the peaceful quiet mornings. Perfect balance…

Yesterday, one hour walk. Got my exercise in sunshine. complimented my neighbor on an awesome orange felted wool cap she made (laughs and smiles all around). made plans for doing some pontooning on the lake this next summer. got some tasty homemade caramel in return for taking her bin to the curb.

👏Resistant non consumerism. I am actively reducing my spending. I recycle, up cycle and reuse and I only buy locally within my community. The billionaires have received enough of my money…

My husband is a night owl (retired so 2:am ish). He said the same thing. His “get up early” is any time before noon😂

Thank you! My have fun today is planning out the garden for spring (first drafts)…. It’s cold, gray and damp so it definitely lifts the mood🌻

Respect 🥂You both are adorable then and looking spectacular now. Lovely message… Absolutely lovely

Thanks!

I’m feeling pretty pumped right now because I’ve already accomplished about five things on the list and it’s not even noon yet.
