One Month Down, Two New Habits!

One day until I'm officially a year from forty and through my first month of the quest. Good time to stop and check progress, no?  

Major learning of month one: sometimes simple things are very hard-- and the things you thought would be very hard, really aren't.  Case in point: I was fairly certain I'd never be able to reduce soda and I was sure I'd "forget" to floss many days each week.  I also thought I'd be able to read easily because I love to read. 

Well, the flossing is now a daily habit-- and really became one within the first week. Once I realized the sugar impact of soda, it just became less attractive. So I'm down to one and sometimes none a day. I wish I'd tried these habits earlier. But I still haven't finished the book yet! Shocked! It's not even that big. I just can't seem to wind down enough to get it done.

So two new life habits are in play and lots of fun stuff in March to look forward to. But for now, I'm going to dive (back) into my book, and enjoy an enormous piece of birthday cake with my family tomorrow. And water. Ha!

Happy Birthday y'all!
