Bordering On Magnificent MAMMOGRAMS

Brief but NOT a "Tweet"

Running
doing
being
stopping
to take care of business.

I DECIDED
not to go to a business networking meeting
this morning at 8 A.M. in Alsip.

I Love "DECIDING"

I used to live my life by default.
I would let things happen by not making decisions or not taking action
and then live (small "l" as compared to "Live" with a capital.)
with the outcome.


I have 3 other Networking events which I will be attending this week.
They are all ones I Planned to attend.
They are reasonably local and potentially productive.

I already had a Mammogram scheduled at 2:20 PM
and a Dental cleaning and exam scheduled at 3:20 PM

The 8AM meeting was across town,
and I REALLY want to take a shower today.


Today, "I am NOT going to get another plate of crazy from the buffet!"

I will choose what is best,
And I will do what is humanly possible,
And I will end my day with a sense of accomplishment
rather than a feeling of exhaustion.

Because I was mindful of making decisions and choices yesterday,
I was able to get appointments for long overdue visits
to my dentist Dr.Jordan Kaplan and for a mammogram.
Yes they are back to back...
but that is what I call a "Me-sandwich"
Two hours of time spent exclusively on my body.


Sometimes (but not often enough) it could be
a pedicure and a hair cut.
Or a massage and getting contact lenses fitted.

If we will cram and run and do for others
and even for some relatively unimportant things in life...
why put our own body and sometimes even our own mental and emotional health
on the back burner?

I will enjoy my day today,
I will accomplish "what needs to be done today"
I will choose the best and Leave the rest
for tomorrow.

ROCK THE SPACE YOU'RE IN . . .

SING a song TO YOURSELF...RIGHT NOW...A HAPPY LITTLE LOVE SONG like Brown Eyed Girl
like I did last night...or maybe PRETTY WOMAN? or You look wonderful tonight...or Sugar Sugar by the Archies or Im a Believer by the Monkeys or any song that celebrates you!
SING IT TO YOURSELF LOUDLY or softly...BUT MEAN IT! Change a few words around if necessary, so you are singing it to yourself... REALLY. . . you may start believeing and knowing just how beautiful and awesome you really are!

Love the fountain and seating at the J.Jill store in Orland Square Mall.

(JUDY: You don't have to drive all the way from Georgia, there may be one by you. LOL)

If you Are already in the area, ...Stop by J.Jill
and drop a penny or even a quarter in the fountain
,
and breathe an intention for
Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight, and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
Joy
