A few of my herbs have sprouted from the soil.  The basil looks great.  

I have been struggling with getting in enough cardio and cleaner nutrition. This challenge has helped me kick start and I feel empowered to continue!

Okay, *maybe* it's cheating, but I'm counting the window upgrade because, even though they're not in yet, I ordered them! We had two that absolutely needed replacement before winter, and with Menards sale, plus some "credit" slips we had from other returns, etc., we were able to go on and purchase two, to replace the worst of them.

This is a hard one to come by. With most of my school work online it's been very difficult to limit the time that I need on a computer. But I have noticed that I look at the homework assignment then go think about the questions before I do go on and do that whole assignments

When they environment is struggling, I see now how it has affected me personally, and vise versa. We are a product of our own environment. When one is sick, it causes a butterfly...

I have found myself seriously questioning a trip by car a few times this past week. A bonus is that there have been times that it has prevented me from buying things I didn’t really need!
