Stop Praying Journal

Picked up a cheesy little self-help book that has inspired me. A provocative title, but good life-lessons in the book. One of them is to keep a journal about disciplines the author feels are of daily importance. So, here goes...

Reading - Read for 30 min. at lunch. The book Price of Privilege by Madeline Levine. I'm somewhere in the second chapter. It makes me think about my own childhood and my daughter's childhood. I really want to be a parent who is present for their kid.

Fitness - Did 30 push-ups this evening before blogging... Ran yesterday though and my quads are some kind of sore.

Nutrition - Ate breakfast, Kashi cereal. Good. Ate healthy lunch and dinner. Had some candy laying around the house, but only had one scoop of sugar with my coffee this morning.

Choice Awareness - Did a lot of this! A couple; put shoes away this morning, took diapers downstairs when I saw them laying in the hall, filed away papers at work... it's getting to be a habit already.

Random Act of Kindness - Nothing... Let me do something for my wife right now.

Extra - Worked on "Conversational Listening" by trying not to talk about myself when dealing with my co-workers. It was fun and surprising how many people opened up.
