They spend a lot of time explaining the problem but not providing solutions - they talk at you. Just tell me how to do it so that I can put the actions into place and move forward.<br /><br />One thing I do is try to find a figure/personality/friends/bloggers that I admire and respect, keeping things into perspective that they are human just like me, and learn from them. Again, I stress keeping things in perspective in that I don't try and become them but learn what has worked for them and see if it works for me and my life. <br /><br />I have learned a lot from reading your blog. Your perspective on life and things is so inspiring. I hope you know that!<br /><br />xo CatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474743895165949417.post-45762408038698937502010-08-15T05:52:54.686-04:002010-08-15T05:52:54.686-04:00Kristine, I was just thinking this exact thing tod...Kristine, I was just thinking this exact thing today as I hung the washing on the line outside - it's very meditative and I really enjoyed it. In New Zealand here we have always hung washing outside. Dryers were (and still are for a lot of us) a luxury as they use so much power, and as you say are harder on clothes. I really enjoyed this post.

When I'm feeling that way, I try to remind myself that progress doesn't always look linear.

I've tried buying the same type in a different shade, and it's just not the same. I guess toes just like to be red :)<br />I don't spend much money on pampering at all. But if I can wake in the morning and take the time to do my hair and make-up and find something half decent to wear (after a shower, obviously!) then it does put me in a better frame of mind for the day. And in the evening, being in bed half an hour early so I can read a little before lights out, is bliss.Pauline Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387098614220322595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474743895165949417.post-18666963678107466882010-03-18T16:36:14.942-04:002010-03-18T16:36:14.942-04:00Absolutely, I'll be very interested to read th...Absolutely, I'll be very interested to read this.
