If I must brag, I'd like to say I'm living more peacefully than ever before.
I don't want to make more money. I want to live a simpler life that doesn't require me to work as much or need as much money.
I get to spend a lot of quality time with my daughter. I only work three days a week and I am managing to make ends meet.
I spend another half day at my daughter's school as a helper and I'm thinking about being a volunteer at tuckshop for one day a week next semester.
I'm thinking I'd like to be a teacher's aide in a disability school in a few years. That's my next long term goal.
I'm also trying to lose weight. I haven't been trying to count calories.
I'm walk to work and around the neighbourhood at a brisk pace, about 15-20 kms/day.
I'm a little disappointed that I'm only losing about a 1/2 kg a week, but I'm feeling fitter, stronger and healthier everyday for it.
Where I would really like to get the ball rolling is giving up smoking.
I've managed to cut down to about 10-15 cigarettes/day.
I was quite a heavy smoker.
I will be attempting to give up again on Monday.
This is when my daughter is going on holidays with her mum for 2 weeks.
