Encouraging feedback

is something that I frequently crave. I wrestle constantly with doubts about my own ability--especially when I suffer through writing sessions like the one I had this morning, when I sit in front of the computer and tear at my hair and wonder, what on earth made me think that I could ever string three sentences together?

And then, just to balance out the agony, I get an unexpected boost by something like this post by vanityfair, which is rather like being unexpectedly given a giant box of dark chocolate truffles, lovingly wrapped in gold paper and tied with a gold ribbon bow, just for me. When all I've had to eat for a week is gruel. It feels marvelous, so marvelous that the shock is almost too much to bear.

But I could get used to it, I think.

Thanks, Aja.

Life List

I think I will put this in as a separate entry, so that I can add it to my memories list. I plan to revise it continually to add other ideas. If you have more suggestions, send 'em my way!

Organizing principle: To take growth-promoting risks so that I can live life as fully as possible.

I'm so virtuous

that I can hardly bear it. I was seized by an irresistible impulse on my Friday night out last night, and though I probably stretched the budget more than is strictly a good idea, I bought a bunch of FIRM videos and did a couple of them today, Cardio Sculpt and Ab Sculpt. I really have to be careful of my knees.

I also cleaned up the kitchen and dining room, a gargantuan job which took over two hours.

I get to reward myself because I'll be going to a party tonight at minnehaha's tonight. Can't wait!

Must go make dinner.

Cheers,
Peg
