I - Day 2

Another day of success.  Amazing how taking care of prayers and teeth can lead to such a better day.

I pray you are finding your S.I.M.P.L.E. life.

I - Day 1

I actually started my "I" session last night.  Got teeth and prayers done both last night and this morning.  I can really see a rhythm beginning.  Slowly, gently, God is giving me the vision and the tools to create the life HE has planned for me.

S - Wrap up

Overall, the past two weeks have worked out very well.  I was able to say morning and evening prayers with the exception of one evening.  Bedtime is still an issue but each night is another chance to improve.  I would definitely consider the spiritual habit a success.  With two weeks under my belt, I feel pretty good moving on to the next task.

The next task will be in the "I" for I group.  After prayerful consideration, although I was only wanting to tackle one, there are two things I have felt God leading me to develop into habits. Since the beginning of the year, I have been doing a good job of communicating with my OA sponsor so if that were not already in place, then that would be my habit.  Since I'm already doing a good job with that, I feel God really leading me to focus on my teeth - brushing AND flossing.  I am also feeling very called to adopt a habit of drinking water instead of diet dr. pepper.  Believe me, this isn't something I WANT to do and  it will definitely be a challenge but over the next two weeks, I will not only work on being more consistent with brushing and flossing but I will also be working on substituting water for diet dr. pepper.

I pray any of you wanting to live a S.I.M.P.L.E. life have discovered your "I" task for the next two weeks.  I also pray your "S" habit was successful.

S - Day 9

STILL haven't gotten this going to bed thing under control.  STILL having a hard time shutting down the computer.  Aiming tonight for shutting down the computer at 10:15... I think I can, I think I can!!!  Aiming for getting in bed by 11 and lights out at 11:30.

I have been doing a good job of getting evening and morning prayers said.

Looking forward to adding in my "I" activity.  From the "I" post, I am considering...

something from Hygiene - showers, brushing teeth, flossing, getting dressed every day, make up OR from Health - OA participation, exercise, vitamins, water, meditation OR from Education - learning a new language, learning digital photography/scrapbooking, learning more about computers/design.  There are of course many more on the list but these are the ones I'm drawn to working on... now to narrow down the list some more.

S - Day 8

Bad girl again but did get a lot accomplished...LOL!

Aiming for 11:30 again and computer off at 11.  If at first you don't succeed...LOL!

I did say evening and morning prayers and was able to get up earlier this morning.  Had a VERY productive day but I'm exhausted now.

S - Day 7

Ohhhh... I was a BAD girl.  Stayed up WAY too late last night on the computer.  Not going to happen tonight though.

Computer goes off at 11 and bedtime is 11:30.  Did say evening and morning prayers and that is the goal.

Busy day tomorrow so I may actually see if I can shut it down earlier.

S - Day 6

Hmmm... I think weekends are going to be tough for me.  Late last night shutting down then computer AND going to bed.  I did say evening and morning prayers.  But slept very late this morning thanks to a wonderful hubby.  Hopefully it won't mess me up too much on getting to bed tonight.

Plan for this evening is to be in bed by 11:30pm.  Shut the computer off at 11:00pm.  Continue morning and evening prayers.

This week I will continue to make this spiritual task into a habit.    I will also be reviewing my "I" goals and looking to determine which will be the first task tackled.  If you are getting S.I.M.P.L.E. please start reviewing your "I" tasks as well.
