Question Five

What did you try to control that was actually outside your control?

Uh, everything? 

Question Four

What habit, if you did it consistently, would have a positive effect on your life?

Meditation. Yoga. Long walks. 

Question Three

What seemed impossible -- but you did it anyway?

Doing edits on Conflagration. It's still in progress, but it's seeming easier and easier. Well, maybe not easier. More doable. I'll take it.

Remember this one?

Question Two

What gave you energy -- and what drained it?

Time with my family. And time with my family. :)

Seven questions

I found this interesting. I'm going to try to pick a question for each post and answer it as honestly as I can. No promises.

When did you feel the most joyful and carefree?

Late at night, talking to Adam. Hands down. 

I'm on the Short List!

Rock on!

We want a lady in the street
But a freak in the bed

40 pounds down

I'm slimmer than I've been in 11 years or more. 

There is a lot to say about that, and by the same token, there is not a lot at all. There aren't many downsides other than the occasional side effect. My friends are noticing. I'm definitely noticing.

It feels right.
