I previously posted how my workout went so I will skip it here and you can refer back to my previous post.
The nature walk with Mr. Independent was very enjoyable. He loves to mumble and point at all things he comes across. His favorite was crossing over a canal and watching ducks swim by. There is also a little farm nearby and we chatted with the new lambs. Mr. Independent is not fond of the daddy sheep and his loud voice.
My no soda challenge seemed fine throughout the day. I drank more water than usual so that was good but as night fell I had the strongest craving for a Sprite Zero. I was a little sad about settling for more water, but at least it was ice cold.
My happy thought or moment of the day was driving with Mr. Independent in the back singing along to Bruno Mars using a little play microphone. He was absolutely adorable and delighted.
I found myself praying several times throughout the day for bits of guidance or clarity and forgiveness. Though I did not receive any immediate answers it felt good to be spiritually connected.
I made sure to post a 'thank you' to a friend I follow on FB rather than a complaint.
At the end of the day the boys and I shared some time outside with our wonderful neighbors. It was such a beautiful night and the perfect moment for my summary photo.
It felt nice going throughout the house knowing I had cleaned up my simple things and that there was some part of order to my very busy household.
While outside I was able to genuinely share my gratitude with my neighbor who has been a huge support and confidant. It seemed much more personal to be able to tell her in person rather than over text.
At the end of the day I was glad for my challenge to make a journal entry and to be able to momentarily reflect on the ups and downs of the day, writing in my own handwriting, the thoughts I had of day one.
..and so day two begins.
