  1. Lately I've been thinking about
  2. the life I want and the habits
  3. I need to cultivate in order to
  4. get me closer to my dreams. 
  5. First I need to start waking up 
  6. earlier; four, five, even six,
  7. would be preferable to the 
  8. craziness of now. Walking in
  9. the morning was a way to
  10. start my day in contemplation
  11. of nature. It settled my mind,
  12. calmed my nerves, and was
  13. good for my waistline as well.
  14. Meals are the second habit I 
  15. need. My mother set aside a
  16. day to cook large pots of 
  17. chili, soup, and other casserole
  18. type dishes. I can change the
  19. menu, purchase more
  20. judiciously, enlist the help of 
  21. my children which means 
  22. less screen time for all of us. 
  23. I can stretch, bounce on my 
  24. trampoline, join a yoga
  25. class, go back to knitting club, 
  26. listen to more books in the car 
  27. get my finances in order,
  28. declutter once and for all! 
  29. I will go on dates. Last night
  30. I told someone I've known
  31. for a long time that I envied
  32. a woman his long term
  33. affections. Perhaps I was foolish, 
  34. it wouldn't be the first time, and
  35. it most certainly won't
  36. be the last. I feel better,
  37. already: having given myself
  38. credit where it is past due.
  39. P.S. It's nice to be able to
  40. write about accomplishments. 
I like it!
