winter night

doing my part

my latest save the earth:

• bring home recyclable food containers i use at work - yogurt, soup cans, etc
• using my new unpaper towels
• planning on a green christmas - more to come
• green wrapping
• green gifting
• buying/finding used (freecycle, craigslist, ebay) instead of buying new
• semi green first birthday for little awa
• real silverware
• real napkins
• recycled favors (in baby food jars)

not doing vs doing

there are things on my to do list that have been there for months. a lot of these things are easy and could be done and crossed off. i've been trying to figure out why i do this and came up with this:

i need to stop thinking so much BEFORE i do something and count on my reflection AFTER i do it to make a change for the next time.

i tend to 'overthink' things i want to do and as a result they never get done. i need to remember that as long as i take the time to reflect, i will be okay.
