Mostly clear and cool - lower 40s full moon
I was listening to John Tesh (seriously) the other night, he reported a study showing that married couples who asked each other for 'small' changes ended up being happier together than those that ask for 'big' changes. Interestingly over the long haul, the big changes actually took place.
The next day I was watching Noggin, its like preschool on TV, and Cedric the Entertainer told the Tortoise & the Hare story. The moral of which he said was- slow and steady wins the race.
With goals and the Challenge, this may be a good mantra for seeing the kind of changes that are both small & large, lasting over the long haul. I like the idea of making small changes everyday, or doing a small amount each day.
When I was making up my list of negative things I don't want to happen , there was a common theme - sustainable change so that I can be of more help and service. The negative voice we have fore ourselves can be pretty brutal and unrelenting, it's important to give yourself a break and not get too down (or too up). I think I'll continue to the negative list periodically to see if it changes. I imagine it will, just as my positive goals will change over time.

brother T, you are a great inspiration to me.
This may sound corny but John Tesh is a personal hero of mine. The music he composed for the 1985, 1986 Tour(s) de France and his dramatic heartfelt commentaries (along with Phil Liggett) were a great inspiration to me!
