It’s Sunday…time to edit, add, and appreciate one thing in your life that will help you be a better you.

Edit one thingmaterial objects, negative thoughts, bad habits, or activities that don’t reflect who you are as a person. It doesn’t have to be a physical thing; Sometimes bad habits and negative thoughts are more detrimental than physical clutter.
Add something. Bring in something or reinvent one thing in your life–thoughts, habits, activities, clothing, objects…Add something that will help you be a better person; And yes, sometimes a new pair of jeans can help!
Appreciate something or someone already in your life. Hug your children and tell them how special they are. Call your spouse, just because. Be extra polite to the guy who makes your latte. Frame that favorite piece of art.

{Continue to} Edit 50 things from my home. 13 down, 37 to go.
{Continue to} Add the 30-day habit of drinking a green smoothie every day. (I’m beginning to crave them at the end of the day — no joke!)
Appreciate my husband. I recently read that as a man gets older, it’s less important to him what you look like, and it’s more important the way you look at him. (They need to feel loved and special, and all those good things — don’t we all?!) Anyhow, we have a lot going on right now, with the house going on the market, looking for new places on the central coast, school stuff, yada yada yada…I’m not sure I’ve been looking at my husband with eyes that show adoration. I plan to correct that this week. It doesn’t take much effort to look –really look– at your partner, and show them how much they mean to you. Only good things can happen…

Your turn — what will you edit, add, and appreciate this week?

You know, I am not sure what I am editing or adding, but thanks to you I am appreciating my husband, too. He is the best. He is sexy. I’m going to let him know this. Thank you for the little nudge!
