Billing Buddies

Exercising helps releases minor stress and keeps my mind clear just by going outside and walking my dog around the complex and park.

I replaced 2 old bulbs to energy bulbs. It lowered a little. Other small energy saving actions I took is closing window blinds when getting warmer outside to keep the inside cool. Change laundry hours to off peak hours to lower cost consumption.

It feels awesome when you perform random kindness. She expressed to me that my kindness in helping her and appreciated my patience towards her.

On this day, I took a trial class at a local martial arts center. I was certainly nervous since it was new to me, but it was actually pretty fun. I learned a few new moves, broke a board(!), sparred a bit. One of my sparring partners was very patient while I was trying to figure out if I was moving right. The other one didn't give an inch to me...

Being time for spring cleaning, I am trying to declutter and pass on items we aren't using much anymore. So far, I've been able to donate several items of clothing, coaxed my daughter into dropping off some of her outgrown books at a neighborhood Little Library, and I've donated some craft items to the public library for their craft room.

I appreciate building connections with friends and colleagues, even if it's just a small note to check in instead of a deep conversation.

I replaced my laundry detergent. Avoiding chemicals and dyes. I like the change however it just a little costly.

Thoughts and emotions aligned during meditations.

It builds trust and true caring for one another.

Whenever I am walking back home from school with my daughter or around our neighborhood in general, we often pick up stray pieces of litter. Sometimes it's just a couple of things, but it still improves the area. We've been doing this during my kids' time in Scouts as part of the Leave No Trace principle.
