HP - Month Two

Well, September was a success! I did not meet all of my daily goals every day, and, I still definitely did more than I would have had I not been recording it. I have felt pretty good health wise (physically), and aside from having the typical allergy related stuff from the season, I've not caught anything going around from the new school year (yet). My flexibility got really good until I overdid it and pulled something in my leg, which required me to take a few days off from stretching, and, overall, I'm still more flexible than I was by a long shot. I also discovered that my body reacts very well to the endorphins released during the stretching time.  I did a pretty good job with the tidying, still not getting it done every day, but sure as heck a lot more than I would have otherwise.  I also noticed how much I really do leave things around the house, despite my prior notion that I didn't.  Additionally, I got a few 'nagging' projects done, though I managed to forget about doing those to some extent, since (I realized) I didn't write down a way to track them.

I'm a day behind in starting October; I'm excusing this due to October having 31 days, so really, I'll still get 30 days in... ;)

This month, being the month of my anniversary, is really going to be focused on the way that I relate to my husband. We've been married for a year (well, we will have been in as of October 10th), and it has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I am so blessed to be married to this man; he is an incredible husband and human being.  He is unconditionally supportive of my endeavors, kind, gentle, compassionate, and slow to complain or criticize (even when I most definitely deserve it). Me? Well, I'm sure I have a whole slew of positive attributes as well, and - what I notice - is that I don't always treat him like the best friend that he is.  So, this month is about reconnecting with the 'overly' nice, forgiving, rose-colored-glasses, before-we-knew-each-other partner that I know I can be.

This month's goals are as follows:
- One full week (seven days) of being SUPER nice to my husband.  Complaint? Bite your tongue. Criticism? Think twice. His turn to let the dogs out? Do it anyway.
- Write, and then read daily, a gratitude list about your partner. Continue to add things to the list as they appear.
- Listen. REALLY listen. Ask questions.
- Action item: What can I do to make life easier for Wolf today?

I figure I'll learn some important things here, primarily an awareness of my go-to way of being in the relationship and how that affects the way we interact.  Secondly, I'll see how an altering of that can influence his way of being, if it does at all.

Alright... Enough for now... WISH ME LUCK!!! :D

I LOVE YOU, WOLF!!!
