I Am Going To Open My Windows

Most of the time I am opposed to shutting off the air conditioner.  I get sinus headaches.  I work in a closed environment all day.  I have become "conditioned" to the cool air.  The problem is with the extreme heat we have suffered through this summer, I have not enjoyed enough outside time.  I go from my house to my car, to my job.  It feels like the entire summer has passed me by as I have sat in my house.  I am craving fresh air.  Even if it only lasts two days.  I will take sinus medicine, advil, and enjoy my house being opened up.
I made the decision today that I need to practice patience for more than a day.  I will work on it for a week.  Today I started to become irritated over something at work.  I remembered to check myself.  I stopped fretting over whatever it was.   Most of the time when something starts to get to me at work, it is not something worth worrying about.  I need to let it go.  My patience really gets tested at home.  I need to remind myself to stay calm with my son.  Losing my temper does not get us anywhere.  I think I need a calming chant.  Too bad Tru Stories does not use chants in yoga.  She might be able to help me.
I have a new great niece.  She does not have a bookend cousin at Tru Stories house.  That is fine.  I can comfortably spoil my three grand children.  I hope I get the chance to meet our newest baby girl soon.  I know she is another beauty.
Yesterday I was talked into joining Weight Watchers.  I have tried it before.  I enjoy the food.  I did not like the meetings I attended before.  Last night I enjoyed the meeting.  I am attending with a friend in the city.  Fingers crossed I can find and keep the motivation. 
This is going to be a long week.  I have some fun things planned for Saturday.  I will patiently wait for the week-end.  I am going to try to enjoy the moment.  Time already moves too quickly!  I also need to make time for reading.  That was the reason I started the blog.
