    I ended up on the road much of this time and just recorded my activities. I did remember to take my bags for produce, bread, and bagels. Felt rather strange at first but then it was ok. I recorded gratitude (3 each) twice a day (morning and night). Made such a difference with my attitude in general. Very worthwhile! Decluttering was less...

    I've been struck (and surprised) by how intentional I need to be in order to have 2 meatless meals/day.  I was about to have some leftover tomato sauce with vegetables and, oops!, it's a meat sauce...  I'll have that later...

    My challenge went great! I started timing my showers over the summer to prepare for this challenge. It's a big help to have a shower where I can easily turn off and on the water without adjusting the heat; there were a few days I was in the shower for over five minutes, but the water only ran for about three minutes. Success!
