3/365 - Contemplate
My original plan was to take a thought
provoking photo, something lofty and deep. But then I saw my Rosie laying with
her head on the arm of the couch looking like she was deep in thought. Her
forehead is scrunched up as if whatever she's thinking about makes her sad. But
trust me when I say my big girl has nothing to be sad about. :)
I
worked on putting my notebook for my One Little Word class together. I printed
out all of the inserts and put them in the pocket pages. That was the easy
part. Now I have to do some serious reflection and contemplation to answer the
questions honestly even if I don’t like the answers. But we can’t grow and
become better unless we are brutally honest with ourselves. It is definitely something that isn’t for the
faint of heart. Last year I rushed through the prompts and I think I burned out
quick because of it. I also didn’t get the benefit of the class by not taking
my time and thinking about what I wanted to get out of the class. This year I’m
taking my time. Thinking everything through. Examining how my word “Create”
already is in my life and how I can expand it to be an even more benefit in my
life.
I tried to get a few more pages of my
December Daily done. I printed off “My Reason Why” and got that into my album.
I wanted to print a couple of pictures but try as I might I couldn’t get any of
my photo printers to print one little picture. My Canon Selphy CP910 keeps
jamming. After the first pass when the magenta is being added the ribbon sticks
to the paper and jams the printer. Then when I work the ribbon free it rips and
the cartridge is no longer usable. My Epson XP-310 is having nozzle issues and
no matter how many times I clean them, the nozzles are still splotchy. I also have an older photo printer, a HP
A820. It’s one of the earliest photo printer around and did a great job. But
today no matter what I did it wasn’t working. The paper wouldn’t feed. The ink
cartridge wasn’t spraying ink. I replaced the ink cartridge and I got an error.
To say that I had a frustrating night of trying to print is an understatement.
I still haven’t gotten my photo printed. I have a feeling I’ll be uploading to
a flash drive and going to WalMart for prints. Really does mess with my
creative flow.
I began working towards my others goals I
set for myself today. I did sit ups, squats, butt lifts and bicycle cross over
sit ups. I can’t think of their official name. I have to say even with just
that little bit my stomach muscles are talking to me. I also have drank my four bottles of water
today.
Another one of my goals which I didn’t list Sunday was being consistent
with doing chores around the house. I get easily distracted and don’t keep a
good schedule. Today I took my checklist of daily and weekly chores and started
crossing them off as I completed them. I forgot how satisfying I feel when I
cross something off my list. I'm going to go see what else I can get done before bed.
