Sorry, I haven't posted in a bit. The reasons could fill another post on their own. Anyway, this weekend I did something I thought I was not capable of doing. It wasn't illegal, and didn't involve hookers and beer. I bought a mirror. A full-length one for my house. I have never lived in a home with a mirror since I left my parent's home. I have always kept a small one in the bathroom so I could shave, comb hair, brush and floss...the usual stuff. I hung it up and spend a few seconds every morning and evening looking at myself and visualizing what I want to look like. I feel like an idiot most of the time I'm doing it, but who cares? I'm trying to do something good for myself and the working out and diet deal had slacked off a bit. I think of a quote from our own ASimmer, "If you fall down seven times, get up eight." I had been getting up six. Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for reading.

Your Name Here

I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts. It wasn't my fault!! I swear to God!!

Visualization may feel silly, but it can be very helpful in reaching your goals!
