January 3, 2012: Day 3

Today was my first day back at work. My 10-day vacation must have been a success because I woke up feeling rested for the first time in years. I woke up an hour earlier, and instead of the usual wake up, quickly do my hair and run our the door in a tizzy (forgetting my lunch, cell phone and sanity), I relaxed, watched the news and enjoyed the morning. It was so refreshing. I hope it lasts! It could turn into some really positive, reflective time.

To save money today I brought my lunch to work. I also, as a part of my goal of simplifying my life, took a lunch break instead of working at my desk. It made the work day so much less hectic! It was a good way to recenter and focus for the rest of my busy, busy, day.

DAY THREE:

• Saved money by eating lunch.
• Took care of myself by not eating at my desk.
• Continued the closet organizing project and sorted through the clothes I am consigning, donating and tossing.
• Worked on my Line A Day 5 Year Journal. It is so fun. I am trying to make it a bed-time habit (more about this later!)
