About the photo (taken on August 16)…I took this picture at Whitewater Crossing Christian Church in Cleves, OH. I went there for a Facilities Forum. This was a wallhanging that I thought was interesting.
And what happened to “Get a Greyhound”?! Deccy x
You are completely right! I am embarrassed and ashamed that this wasn’t first on the list. Worked for me.
Love, love, love this list! Thank you Lori. Just what i needed to read today.
I gotta love that the first thing on the list is to make lists! 🙂
I’m feeling today’s daily inspiration 🙂
I love all those suggestions!

Great tips! I am really into lists. Also, keep a notebook and pen by the side of the bed so you can write down your dreams (for inspiration) first thing in the morning.
Love the list! But I have to agree with Deccy – there are no Dogs or Cats on that list!
I would add #26 – Play with your pet!
