I saw these fantastic greeting cards at Barnes and Noble tonight while picking up a copy of the Hunger Games to replace the copy someone loaned me. Someone in my house decided it would be fun to chew up the cover - ruby foo is awesome!
Anyway - this card line features shelter dogs. The back of the card has the dogs name, how they ended up in a shelter and their special personality traits - I thought they were brilliant! I need to remember to by buy these the next time I need a card.
I spent 4 hours in Sacramento today. It was a super fast trip. The weather was yucky so it was nice to get home.
I really love this story. And in the spirit of "carry on" I am hoping to challenge myself to do a little something extra each month for my One Little Word for 2012. My word is Refine and I am posting my little challenges here for a bit of additional motivation.
Here are 3 challenges for this month-
lights out by 10 pm on work nights = Refine my energy level
1 full week without TV = Refine my time management
Full house declutter and detox including my garage = Refine my house and my mind
Well it took 2 months but I have finally picked my One Little Word for 2012.
The word is Refine.
I originally thought I wanted my word to be discipline but it seemed like such a sad, mean word. I realized I can accomplish all of the same goals with the bright and shiny word refine. I have finished the page for January and realized my word means so much more than I realized.
The word cultured was in the definition and I had not really thought about that aspect of refine. Another part of the definition was to "make fine distinctions in thought or language". That made me think about thinking and saying nice things to others - becoming more socially refined. I had not even thought of that but I am now so excited to make that part of my word.

I have finally found a dog treat that will last longer than 3 minutes with Ruby Foo - a giant busy bone that is going on 3 days.
Spent the early morning hours dipping around 3500 strawberries. Good times!
