A GRACE of the Mondays

It's that time of the week, my friends! Time to check in on those wily little goals we set for ourselves last Friday! Woooooo! HELL YES! [insert Juggalo style "family" chant]

Now, I'll be honest with you guys, I set some preeeeeetty simple goals for myself and I delivered preeeeetty mediocrely on them. It happens! Now, I'll be double honest with you...I did consider embellishing my results to you. It was a passing thought! And then I lol'd at how truly lame that would be. Lamer than not completing the goals all together. So I'm not going to do that to you. This is a trustworthy space! Things get real dumb and real silly here, and in between all of that is integrity! Okay, here's how I did:

1. Meditate twice: I meditated on Saturday real good. I did the sitting and the breathing and the whole shebang. Then, on Sunday, knowing that mediating twice was my goal, I did not meditate and instead thought about how I should and could meditate all day long. You ever play one of those fun pranks on yourself? Where you have a super simple task to do ... literally a 10 minute task that requires absolutely no movement and literally only breathing... and rather than getting it done you think about potentially possibly doing it at some point while it's still technically the day you said you'd do it on and then before you know it you're all high and in bed watching House Hunters and whoops well there's nothing you can do NOW, I mean it's definitely not your fault it's bed time and you're obnoxiously full of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It happens! BUT, I did meditate today. That counts! And I'm going to meditate tomorrow! Probably.

2. Spend at least 2 hours reading: Okay, I won't sugar coat this. I spent abooooout an hour reading yesterday and then I got bored and distracted and whoops suddenly I was watching the new HBO docu-series "The Vow" about that sketchy self-improvement group, NXIVM. Again, it happens! For me, as long as I'm attempting to read a little everyday that's progress. Also, I highly recommend The Vow! It just started yesterday and I'm a little bummed it's a weekly series on account of my binge-addicted-pig-brain wants to gobble up the whole series immediately right now. Ahhhh, and this is why meditation will be helpful for me, I see.

3. Put together Mamrie's care package: This one we definitely made solid progress on! I have some reeeeal treasures coming in the mail tomorrow that I can't wait to package up for Mames by the end of the week. If my FBI agent logs on and checks out my search history from yesterday they're sure to get a good chuckle. And, if not, they're likely very concerned for my mental well being.

Well, that's all I got for y'all! Now let me know how you did??? Again, there are no failures here! If you didn't get your shit done, consider that maybe you're just creating a slightly more creative path to get there? I dunno. Or you're lazy. And that's okay too. I'm proud of you either way. Thanks again for sharing your goals with me! That vicariously curious side of my brain is very grateful!

One last thing before I go. SHE'S INTO VR, Y'ALL:
