done

{totally unrelated to the post, just a cool pic}

I was really going to try and keep track for a whole year.

If you have checked my *One Thing* page lately, you will see that I made it about 3 months.

I *really* like to finish what I start. This is a little hard to let go of. It's all good though.

I decided to be done with it for a few reasons.
It was hard to remember to do everyday or even every few days.
I felt like it was becoming redundant.

The good that came out of it?
I really do these things all the time (redundant) - this is great!
I have a list to refer to when I am feeling aimless and uninspired - Yes!

Overall, I would say that this exercise did what it was supposed to do. I took notice.
My *one things* turned into a lot of good things.

Learning to let go of unfruitful activities is a good thing. Maybe this will be the last thing on the list. Yes.

Have a blessed day, Tami

*One Thing* the project

     After I posted yesterday, I started thinking that I should keep track of my *one things*.
I am in a rather forgetful state these days (hello 40) and I am finding that when I write things down they *stick* better.
I am going to keep track in a daily journal, but I will also post them every so often on
my One Thing tab at the top of my home page.
My only criteria for *the thing*:

My one thing has to add to the happiness, health, and/or well being of my family, my community, and/or the Earth.

My goal is to document this everyday for a year and then to look back and be encouraged at what has actually been accomplished, versus feeling like I never do enough.
Many of the things I will list are already established into the everyday life of our family, I still want to document them anyway, even if they are not new habits, they are worth noticing and remembering.
I started this on January 1st, so there are a few entries already.

If you'd like to join me please do, I would love it! Please just link back to this post. Thanks!

I hope this project to be a blessing and an encouragement to anyone who reads about it or even participates! Change really does start one thing at a time.

Bless you today, Tami

::One Thing::

The new year always puts me in a place of contemplation. It's such a great time to really examine your life and to make changes.

     If you could do one thing today to change your life or our planet for the better, what would it be?
There are so many things that I want to do to tread more lightly, that it becomes overwhelming.
But change happens one thing at a time. I constantly have to remind myself of that.
This journey that we are on takes a whole life to finish.

One Thing.

I will do one thing today that brings me closer the my goal of wasting less, consuming less,
having less, and loving more.

Just one thing. I can do that.

Have a blessed day,
Tami
