the neighbors threw a block party and invited the city fire department. there was ice cream, which I am proud to day I resisted (want to loose 2 lbs per week - go to the gym AND avoid ice cream.)

HOW did I avoid ice cream when there were 13 yummy flavors? Easy, I took pictures. I actually love taking pictures more than I love ice cream, really I do. If this sort of substitution works for my clients who are quitting smoking, it should work for me when I'm avoiding high fat foods right?

I rounded up the kids for a photo session and they were happy to play on the fire truck and put on the fire cooat and hat.....

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
