    Never made the exercise. However I found a great website and have really started to make sure I let people know how grateful I am for them.

    Still not exercising. Oh well, next year. Had a Starbucks today so did use my own cup.  Have to remember to keep my travel mug with me all the time.

    I make sure I tell at least one person everyday how much I appreciate them.  It makes me feel lucky to have the people around me who are so amazing.

    It has been easier than I thought to eat one meatless meal a day...I think I was doing it most of the time anyway.  Now I just pay attention.

    Check out the Seafood Watch App that the Monterey Bay Aquarium created.  Great way to understand more about sustainable seafood.  Love it!
