📅 Daily Check-in - October 7, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Yesterday was busy but good. Took my grandson to his counseling appointment which went well. It seems to be helping him, plus he got to go to Boy Scouts last week and this week after not having been since April. He spent some time with us at our place and then I watched him and his brothers and sisters at their house for about an hour or so until my son got home and got situated for the evening. I came home and we had leftovers from the wonderful meal from the awesome Italian restaurant from the night before. I had some filet mignon and an excellent sweet potato casserole and some asparagus. Afterwards, I spent some time on an online art business course and also some time with my husband and younger son (and our pup too, of course! He's almost always sitting on me or next to me!). Today, I have an appointment this morning and will be picking up groceries and then coming home and doing some sketching/painting and working on my art business class. I should probably get those certifications done for Medicare, too. My heart so is not in that anymore. But I'm so happy that I've found something that does speak to me and makes me happy. Didn't do my breathwork yet this morning. Was going to do it before breakfast, but I'm still a bit stuffy and it's hard to take deep breaths in through the nose. LOL I still want to do what I can with that. If there are any suggestions when dealing with a stuffy nose and doing breathwork, please share!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 8/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 8/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 8/10 ⭐ Average: 7.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🙏 Prayer 🛋️ Therapy Session 🎓 Online Course 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 👂 Active Listening

📅 Daily Check-in - October 1, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Missed checking in yesterday, I think. LOL My days are running together. I have been doing a lot of playing grandma taxi and babysitter over the past week, so the days aren't very clear to me. Yesterday, I had blood work done and happy to report that everything looked really good, including my kidney functions which are now normal again. I was very excited to see that! My A1C has gone from 9.0 in January to 6.2 in March to 5.7 in September. I'm off of my blood pressure medicine and my BP has been very good. I haven't been doing the cohesive breathing except for a couple of days, but I also haven't been doing my nighttime and morning protocols. I also had a stomach bug a couple of weeks ago and had a cold/cough for the past week. I haven't been focused on what I need to be doing and just kind of trying to throw together a plan for the day since I have been helping my son out a lot and he often only lets me know in the morning that he needs my help that day. I help even when it's inconvenient for me because I do it for my grandkids. If I don't help, they will miss out, plus it gives me a chance to see them. I'm behind in the cohort 4 lessons. I have to make that a priority at some point today, although today is shaping up to be very busy as well. I will be getting my granddaughter after her cross country track meet (which I will go to watch) and then bringing her home with me for the evening, so that will be nice to get to spend time with her and to have her get a break from stress at home. Excited about a lot of the new things I have going on, but really need to put a plan together to make the best use of my time and accomplish all I want to do." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 6/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🙏 Prayer 🛋️ Therapy Session 🤝 Helped Someone

📅 Daily Check-in - October 5, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I had a bit of a rough weekend as I was sick Friday night and most of Saturday, and my stomach is still not feeling great, but Sunday was a good day. I finally started doing some sketching and I enjoyed it so much! We went to church and to brunch after church, then ran a few errands. Came home and relaxed and did my sketching with prompts from a free sketch workshop. So much fun! Around 9 PM last night, my son called and needed a lift to get gasoline as his car was telling him he had 13 miles left, but he ran out. Got to see three of the grandkids when I went to pick them up. They were just about a mile from their home. He was very appreciative, which was nice. Today, will be going to see my granddaughter's track meet and then this evening there is a ceremony from the hospice that worked with my mother-in-law for all the people that passed away this past year. My brother-in-law is taking us all out to dinner afterwards, so that will be nice to commemorate my mother-in-law and to spend time with my husband's family. The whole art/creativity thing has been wonderful. It really is what I enjoy so very much, and since making the decision to make it part of my life again, I have been finding myself being more observant of various minor details, though some not so minor. One morning I got up at 6 AM to use the bathroom, and my blinds were open and I could see the most beautiful, deep, intense blue sky. I took some pictures of it, thinking the pictures wouldn't do it justice, but they came out better than expected. Not quite as blue as it was in person with the ethereal quality it had, but much closer than usual. I'd love to incorporate that color into a painting with a sky like that. It was so peaceful and beautiful. feel that I still have too many things on my plate as I have been helping my son out a lot with running the kids to activities and appointments, and my husband and I have had appointments, and I'm involved in a couple of classes with my creativity. Overall, though, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction."

📅 Daily Check-in - September 15, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Took my son to a doctor's appointment this morning. It is a beautiful, sunny day today and the weather isn't too hot. It's just right. It was a nice ride to the office and back and good to spend time with him. Came home in time for the Cohort 4 workshop. We have a "watch party" at our ballpark tonight for an away game for the Wild Things which we are thinking of going to, although we could watch the game on TV at home. It's nice to be with the other fans though, especially for the playoffs. It is time for me to get back to making some decisions on whether or not to move forward with my business. Not sure what I will do as an alternative way to bring in some income, but can't say I'm excited about continuing in the health insurance business. I will see.

📅 Daily Check-in - October 6, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Saw my granddaughter at her track meet yesterday and saw my youngest grandson who was there with his parents, which was a really nice surprise! Unfortunately, my granddaughter and her parents are having issues and were not happy with each other. It was as beautiful day weather-wise, though, and I did take some photos of the surroundings as it may be a great thing to paint. Of course, I also got some pictures of my granddaughter and grandson, too. I spent some time with my grandson at a playground nearby after the race which was fun. He is 3 and a cutie-pie! Last night, went to the ceremony for the hospice patients including my mother-in-law. It was a beautiful and very touching ceremony. The church it was held in was gorgeous and it was all lit up with candlelight. I wasn't able to get a picture, but would have loved to. I had never been before, and want to go back to take some pictures also to use for my artwork. More importantly, it was nice to be with my husband's family and to celebrate my mother-in-law's life again. I do miss her. She was a wonderful woman. She would be proud and very happy that her 5 kids all text every morning and every evening and sometimes throughout the day. It's awesome they are all staying in touch. I think they text and talk more now than when Genevieve was here. We had a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant afterwards - great food and even better company. This morning, I took our dog out and spent a couple minutes out in the sun in front of the apartment building, but then came back inside and went out on the porch/deck with our dog and sat for at least 10 minutes. It was nice and cool, but also sunny. Did some breathwork while I was out there, and listened to the birds. I forgot...yesterday I stopped at Hobby Lobby and got some watercolors, paintbrushes, and 2 watercolor books and a sketchbook. I can't wait to get to use them!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 8/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10
