Everybody gets so
much information all day long that they lose their common sense.
Gertrude Stein

Kim -- Day 296Most people have a love/hate relationship
with technology, at least I do. I love that it can provide information in an instant and also hate that I am always connected
to, well everyone and everything, even when I ought to be disconnected. I get pings when there is a new email and my bulging
calendar is a constant reminder of how much is scheduled and what needs to be done. But just like money, technology can be
used for good or bad. I saw a 60 Minutes tonight on how the iPad is giving a voice to autistic children who have been unable
to verbalize their thoughts and feelings. So those devices that can make us crazy at times also have the ability to relieve
the frustration of so many children. It is true that there are ways to use all of the gifts we have in life for something
good if we are mindful of how we use them.

Kim - Day 295Beyond tired after another day of chores.
At least it ended with a very nice dinner and drive to see the thousands of Jack-O-Lanterns. Tomorrow, the day of rest
will be just that for me as I try to fend of the cold that is putting up a good fight. It starts now with a good night’s
sleep. The busy week ahead will not wait for me to be back to 100%.

Think positively about yourself.... ask
God who made you to keep on remaking you. ~Norman Vincent Peale

Kim - Day 294I think I just heard my favorite line from
a movie EVER. It’s from Eat, Pray, Love. I bet you are getting ready for something profound about how we find true selves.
Nope. It is a line that Julia Roberts says while she and her friend are devouring the most amazing looking pizza in a Naples
café. She says, “I have no interest in being obese, but today we are going to eat and enjoy, go watch a soccer
game and then tomorrow we are going to take ourselves shopping and buy some bigger jeans – ones that don’t mind
a muffin top.” So maybe that was one of the profound parts of the movie. Enjoy and be okay with it.

“We can let circumstances rule
us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.” – Earl Nightengale

Kim - Day 293It was a very productive
evening and I can’t believe what a difference in stress levels it makes to cross off the list a bunch of little things
that were hanging over my head. It helps too to have organized the space in which I needed to do the work first. A clean and
clutter free space leads to a clutter free mind. I am hoping that it will spill over into work tomorrow and the weekend ahead.
It really is within our own control to take control and change the course of the day.

A healthy outside
starts from the inside.
– Robert Urich

Kim - Day 292I learned my lesson. I was bragging (sort
of) about how I never really get sick, and now I’m sick. I am now thinking that I’m never sick for very long,
so I hope this time I am not jinxing myself again. I have taken my vitamins, had lots to drink and now I am going to bed very
early in hopes that all this plus a good long sleep will fight off anything virus that dares attack. I won’t be taking
good health and energy for granted any time soon.
