living mindfully – Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

Today is Day 285 of my Daily Food Diary! 💖

Today is also our Canadian Thanksgiving. Today as always, I am thankful that Dan & Molly & I have each other, our family & friends, our health, a roof over our heads, food for our table, a reliable vehicle, and a warm, comfortable bed.

Yesterday, we had our first snow of the season. (Which TBH I was not so grateful for). 🙄

After three very busy days, I took a break to read, relax, and enjoy a quiet day with Dan and Molly.

I don’t have a lot more planned for today. We got bundled up and took Molly for a walk earlier this morning. The cold wasn’t too bad but the air was still thick and humid from all the rain and snow yesterday. I struggled a bit, but managed the full walk.

It will be a challenge to get back up to speed with all of my workouts this week. I am fighting the urge to hibernate until spring returns. 🌷

It is 156 Days since I began my Daily Food Diary. That is more than posting here on my blog, consistently for the past 156 days. That is 156 Days of being mindful of everything I consume and making deliberate decisions to consume or to walk away. My life is all about balance, so perfection has never been my goal, but after 156 days, my diet has improved. 🙌

Our yard is also improving. Dan finished installing the new planters he built for the front yard.

**This one replaced the wood landscaping log one that had seen its best days. Dan cleaned out a LOT of lilies, trimmed a LOT of raggedy growth off of the Weeping Willow, and added a LOT of fresh dirt.**

**This planter is just to clean up an area under our bedroom window. I love the lattice! The flowers are coming along nicely but they disappeared in the morning sun. 🙄**
