PLAN YOUR MEALS
We eat well. Just not well planned. After growing up in and then spending 20+ years in the grocery industry, the one thing I know is food. We eat well chosen, healthy selections found mainly on the perimeter of our grocery store - lots of fresh meat, produce, dairy and little processed (aka plastic) food.
The assignment: Do you plan your meals? What works for you and your family?
I am awful at planning our meals. Every time I think I have a handle on it, I don't. We live across the street from a big grocery store (sounds terrible, but it's not bad!) and I use it as my extra refrigerator. I have a list of "staples" we have on hand at (almost) all times. We only run out when we need things most! At least it's a quick walk for whatever is missing. I'd like to focus more on having things here at the house for more spontaneous meals. I don't know if planning will help as much as simply having things on hand.
Time to change things up!

Like Bree Hester, I believe you choose to be happy. Sure there are bad (out of your control) things that happen, but how you handle them is completely up to you. Your choices are your responsibility - there is no blame, no shame, no nothing but accountability. Your attitude is your decision. I choose to be happy. Happy within the context of not wearing the proverbial rose-coloured glasses or any expectation that those who populate my life have made the same choice :) Last October, Bree put together 31 DAYS TO A HAPPIER YOU and, armed with her PDF, I'm using March - that dreary time between winter and spring that seems to drag on forever - to make the conscious choice to be happy every day this month!
