That...It's funny you say 'baby steps'. That concept was talked about a bunch a week or so ago at my Weight Watcher meeting. Of course, this is the time of year that many join and then some very quickly get disillusioned (and I've done that myself). One older lady who has been a member for a couple of months now, but has a long way to go to better health, was preaching that mantra. Baby steps. And not quitting - I threw that in there. :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-77660498118767234812019-01-23T06:32:35.971-06:002019-01-23T06:32:35.971-06:00"never quitting again" ... I love that, ..."never quitting again" ... I love that, Kay! How many times do I start a project or new habit.. which quickly transitions into setting lofty goals ... which inevitably leads to quitting because I can't meet those expectations. All this sets me up for failure.<br /><br />Instead, I also want to persevere... rather than quit, I want to learn to reestablish manageable goals. I want to recognize that baby steps will also get me to the finish line.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and your family :)Mollyhttps://mollytotoro.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-4957800594305269472019-01-06T16:07:25.526-06:002019-01-06T16:07:25.526-06:00Great word choice, Kay!

I think I've used PEACE, SMILE (or maybe it was LAUGH) and PATIENCE. I'm toying with FOCUS for 2019. Love that photo of Mt.
