3, 2012 about Sunset Pacific Time
I checked my yahoo.com e-mail today; this is something I do
once or twice a week. As I was looking through the indescribable and unending
collection of unread e-mails, I noticed the April 2, edition of “The Creative
Notebook”. Since I had a few minutes before the laundry was ready to hang on
the drying rack I read the new article “Toot Your Own Horn Tuesday”.
This article gave me something to think about; Dorene, the
article’s author suggested that once a week instead of griping about the
problems that confront us we should toot our own horns in you journals. I like
this idea, because sometimes I become too wound up in the tests and
difficulties of daily life that I forget to list my accomplishments in my
journals.
She suggested listing ten small accomplishments or victories
in our lives. Since I like the idea of “Toot Your Own Horn Tuesday”, I will
periodically use that at the title of Tuesday Thought entry perhaps once or
twice a month.
Ten victories
- Straightened up the canned vegetables in my pantry
- Filled all the ice cube trays and put them in the freezer
- Picked out my mother’s clothes for tomorrow
- Placed my green prayer beads in my leather medicine pouch so that I can find them
- Check the syllable counts of the words I use when writing form poetry
- Check my landline voice mail by logging into my phone provider’s website
- Filled my hard plastic bottle with ice and water and then sit it on the floor next to my desk
- Put water and fresh coffee ground in my coffee maker so that I can turn it on the first thing in the morning
- Locked the security screen door after Mom’s PA left for the day
- Carried a plastic trash bag filled with aluminum cans to my car
