    I definitely slacked this weekend in some areas, but I did take this weekend as an opportunity to speak with my sister (who is notorious for leaving lights on) about remembering to turn off lights behind her.  I look forward to doubling my efforts this week!

    Even though I don't always wake up wanting to walk, the walk in the morning helps get my blood flowing and awake and ready for the day!

    I really enjoyed ending the day with a list of things I am grateful for.  It set me up for a good sleep and a good morning!
