Some
of the specific ways I plan to do that:
1) Exercise
5X/week, when not sick. I’ve been putting on my workout clothes first thing
in the morning, and that’s been working really well.
2) Do a
modified No S, when it’s not feast time or fast time. (My modification is
that I allow for fruit/veg and/or protein (e.g., milk, nuts) as snacks. I just
do better when I snack!)
3) Keep
reading real books. The Web is wonderful and distracting, but I feel better
when I read real books. I always keep track of my books read, but recently I've been keeping keep track of my reading time, and it’s helped me get back on track with my to-be-read
list. I want to keep this up in the new year.
4) Be aware
that lot of the things in the other categories help here, too. Like
listening to the Bible, praying, writing, spending time with Adam, getting out
of the house as a family, etc. All of those things keep me healthy and
functioning.

Peace of Christ to you,

p.s. I really liked Jen's comment on my last blog:
I've heard of doing "high-lows" (what you're doing when you ask your kids for one bad thing and one good thing), doing the 3 J's (your junk, your joy, and your Jesus moment), and a modified examen (something you're thankful for, something you wish you hadn't done, and somewhere you saw God's work during the day.)I really want to try the 3 J idea! and maybe the modified examen, too. Thanks, Jen!
