One Step Forward.

I thought about naming today's post, "Strike One." because I didn't do my entire routine this morning. In fact, I didn't get out of bed until 7:30.

But then I started thinking about my friend/sister, Heather. Heather always insists on looking at what is working. So, what went right? Well, more than meets the eye.

I did get fully dressed this morning. I did say a sincere prayer before leaving my room, and I even got my hair/face done!

So, One step forward, albeit not as big one as I was hoping. I will be attempting my new morning routine tomorrow.

I made myself a "Reward Chart" as an enticement to do the good behaviors. But, I haven't decided on a good reward yet... There aren't even any books I'm dying to buy right now! (That tells you how well off I am right now.)

I will try to post updates.

Even one step forward is in the right direction, so keep trying with the little steps forward if that is what you can do. I personally dislike structure, but I too have found that it is the only way I can feel that I have accomplished anything. So I make a schedule for just the important things like first thing in the morning and what time I have to start dinner. Then I throw the kids stuff in there. I am not perfect, but am functioning.

I think you did great and accomplished a lot! Seems much more realistic to me :- )
I miss you all!!
