** What I'm reading **
Devotional ** Spiritual read
I'll Be There [but i'll be wearing sweatpants] by Amy Weatherly & Jess Jonston ** Self-Improvement read
also added Let Your Mind Run - it's Deena Kastor' Memoir of thinking her way to Victory [she's a runner] **adding a disclaimer here...I've read more from this book, in a few short weeks I need to up my training so trying to look for ideas & inspiration though I also need to figure out just HOW I'm going to add more mileage per week...UGH!!
Mister Tender's Girl by Carter Wilson ** Personal read
** TV Shows this week **
The DVR Reba sitcoms are all finished and though the Mr wanted to ''start'' over with season one again I made the executive decision to squelch that idea! We have lots of regular programing TV shows set to record and watch later. The new season of Yellowstone started last night WooHoo! I started selecting various movies to record IF there's any downtime for me during the day [sometimes just for the background noise] and of course Action type movies for the Mr.

** Goal/To Do List **
My main goal is to continue with my mile [minimum] a day streak, today marks day #164!
Daily basic's - sweep, make bed, kitchen, bathroom.
** Around The House **
Basic routine will be a plus and now that the Mr is feeling better he's able to assist with a couple of things like sweeping.
** Project this Week **
I did manage to get the shelving out of the cellar and added 1 storage closet for long term clothes storage. Ordered additional storage bags for extra protection and added a fan for better circulation. I still need to work on other basement de-cluttering.
I'll be refreshing my upstairs and move plants inside for the fall/winter.

** Reflection(s) **
While talking and listening are definitely important, the next step is the most important thing: changing. Actually, doing the thing you talked about. Actions speak louder than words. Show Love in a noticeable way.
