Happiness Project

Helped Trevor write his campaign speech he had to deliver tomorrow. Despite his initial reluctance, by the end he was really excited and doing very well. We'll see how things go tomorrow!

Happiness Project for 3/21

My positive moment for today was when I was able to hold a plank for 30 seconds, and side planks for 30 seconds without stopping. There is something about realizing your body is growing stronger and stronger. Even though the number on the scale is not dropping as quickly as I would like for it to, I have to believe I'm doing what is best for my body and that in time the results will come.

Happiness Project for 3/20

Trevor said tonight that when he has free time he wants to spend it praising God.  When we did prayers tonight at bedtime, Eli thanked Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins. Their relationships with God seem very real and I hope they both continue to grow closer to God continually.

Happiness Project for 3/19

Had a date night with Ted tonight.  We always have so much fun together and it is so great to reconnect.

We went to Briarwood's McTeacher Night where we saw Seth (and Jennifer), the Rothmans, and Zach (and Sarah). It was really great to catch up.

Today was Eli's first practice for coach pitch Pony League baseball. I was concerned about how he would do because he hasn't played organized team sports in a few years, and he's on a team that is coached by a very competitive coach who knows Trevor, so I didn't know what expectations would be put on him. Evidently I had nothing to worry about; he did great!  He's an amazing kid and he takes direction well, so he's going to be just fine.  :-)

Trevor had baseball practice this evening, and since Ted had the night off he was coaching Trevor's team. This left me and Eli alone together. We had a great time playing Skip-Bo and Monopoly, and it was some great one on one time.  :-)

Happiness Project

My positive experience for today I noticed that Trevor longer makes a big fuss about cleaning dishes up after a meal.  When I asked him to help me unload the dishwasher, he came right over and just started helping with no complaining or eye rolling. I thanked him for being so helpful, and he said he just wants to get it done as quickly as possible and complaining doesn't help. :-)

Why not? The Happiness Project

My positive experience today was going running with Dolly. With daylight savings kicking in yet not being able to fall asleep until after 1 a.m., I was worried about being able to wake up to go running as I had promised Dolly. I made it up though and we had a good 3 mile run with no walking.
