Dorinne Tye 10/14/2016 9:29 PMMost missions accomplished; power, water, seafood and gratitude! There was no sunset, but I tried! There should be a weather disclaimer for that.
Flu included many trips brushing my teeth saving 8 gallons each which surprised me.
Moving room to room seeking comfort, I kept circling back around to turn lights and electronics off. Even though I'm not home that much I can see I waste energy by leaving lights and electronics on more than I thought I did.
There was also my refusal of dinner brought to me from a seafood restaurant.
...and still somehow manged to be grateful, thankful and speak it joyfully through a fever and mean it. Funny thing about gratitude, it grows on you and everyone around you. I like that! -
Dorinne Tye 10/13/2016 7:35 PMThis inspires me to do so many things I've been planning for years, but will do 'tomorrow.'
Life is better when I eat and live differently while contributing to the planet and society I live in.
Excited to be moved into action!
