• I spent last night listening to Oprah's webcast, the first in the Best Life Series. The topic was weight. And while I won't claim that it got me all fired up about losing weight or changing my life, it did give me food for thought, and made me cautiously optimistic that I can stay with baby steps for the long term instead of giving up quickly when the short term turns out to be SSDD.

  I also used the opportunity to show myself that I was doing this for me, making the effort for me. We have dial up at home, so I couldn't down load the soft ware needed to view the webcasts. I stopped at the Fire Station on my way home to use  Broadband and download the necessaries for viewing. At eight thirty I left my warm, toasty living room, wood stove humming out a steady glow of heat and headed in the five degree weather to the Fire Station. I applauded my effort and stayed present for the web cast even as I was wanting to lay my head down and sleep.

  I am proud of myself for doing this small thing. I am grateful to have the broad band available at the station.  I am hopeful I can make change in my  life, no matter how uncomfortable I may become. Blessings abound
