When Jamie Ridler asked "What do you wish for Summer?"... I yelled at the screen "Some Summer would be nice!" It's cold and raining again this morning and the nights drawing in now too...
However, I am a glass half full kind of girl and so, regaining the proper positive spirit (and hoping that temperatures that require skimpy short-wearing arrive soon), I shall cast my wishes to the universe.
This summer, in true Lisa-fashion, I am once more taking on every single opportunity that comes my way wearing an interesting hat. This keeps me out of mischief, but also requires some distinct time-juggling and smarter working. All achievable with a little self-discipline.
I've set myself some easy goals to get me started. First one is to get up in the morning with the first alarm and avoid the snooze button. It's a small goal, but already working - I think we're on Day 5. Not only am I up 20 minutes earlier every morning, but I leave sleep stupor snoozing on the pillow. It appears that nodding off for an extra 10 minutes, then another 10... just makes me more tired. Well, what do you know? These last few mornings have seen me positively bouncing and throwing myself into tasks with renewed enthusiasm.
Another goal is to exercise at least 10 minutes per day with a proper workout 3 times a week. Mix this with eating less chocolate, cakes and biscuits and we might see a few pounds dissolve from the waist and hips.
So, now we've got the energy levels up, we'll be ready to tackle the big projects. It's going to be a busy few months with plenty of writing work coming in, opportunities to use my creativity in employee engagement exercises and big ambitions with my art. I could tell you all now, but lunch break is over and I have to get back to work (plus, I'm sure you've read enough already!).
PS: What's up with blogger today? Can't load images. Methinks he hit the snooze button one too many times!

May you see the sun soon. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to send you some of our opressive heat. Today supposed to be in the 90's and feel like 100! I hope your weather becomes more seasonable very soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteCome on over, Lisa! :) We have plenty of sun and heat over here. :) Good luck to you with the goals. :) I should do the exercise and eating less thing too but I have too many excuses when the cravings come. :)))
ReplyDeleteThe sun just found us here in Montana. I almost don't know what to do with myself - stunned from the shock!
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, I wish for you also. And a big dash of summertime thrown in on top!
Oh I so hear you on the weather! We have had TWO WHOLE DAYS of sun (counting today which just started) and I'm really not sure I will be able to maintain my composure with all of this LIGHT and WARMTH! I will get busy and order you some up right away!
ReplyDeleteSo excited about your attitude, your exercising, and all the new ventures you are embarking on! Love that you are so full of vim and vigour!!! Go Girl!
Hugs and smiles

Good, healthy wishes.
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
(I couldn't load images to my Blogger post, either. Bummer.)
Sending you a "High-Five" for healthy wishes!
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well. :]
Bravo to you! As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you!
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well!!
ReplyDeleteWe're still having a little June gloom here, but I don't mind if we ward off the 100+ temps a little longer! lol
Sounds like you're making great progress, and have some wonderful energy around you! Yeah!
It's been raining so much where I live in central Canada too. I don't think we've had more than a handful days that have even reached "normal" temperatures yet this year since spring. As being one who doesn't do well in the sweltering heat, I'm enjoying the days with sunshine as much as possible because I know the hot stuff will be here!
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, I truly wish for her as well!
Love your goals!! You can do it!!! : ))))
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, I truly wish for her as well!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so full of "do it!" energy, I want to jump up and do things, too! :)
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
Yay! Go Lisa! *Paula looks sideways to her almost new box of chocs and thinks about asking Lisa how she can manage to eat less of those*
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat great healthy wishes!
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
Blogger is driving me nuts! Hey, sounds like things are great with you - good on you getting up early...as for your summer, we never got one this year, and now we are in the depths of winter - I think my kids are going insane - lack of Vitamin D and all that...luckily, your blog still lets me leave comments x
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, I wish for you also!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful summer!
Looking forward to your big plan for art. Good on you with the snooze button ... I should be doing the same
ReplyDeleteas you wish i wish for you also <3 g!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like you're bounding out the door reading to fulfill your wishes. As Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
ReplyDeleteI am horrible at ...not hitting the snooze button. I just love to sleep! Good goal to have though
ReplyDeleteI have read that if you try to break a habit, try for 21 days and after that, the habit will be gone and a new habit will have formed. I recently tried not drinking wine for 21 days and guess what? It seems to work. I know I will eventually go back to wine but for now, I'm happy to have broken the habit of the nightly drink. I also have more energy from it...which is dangerous since I already have a lot! It sounds like you are on a positive whirl and in a great frame of mind Lisa. I look forward to hearing about the new art projects. Ever onward!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat wish. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
