Saying Yes.

I haven't said yes to anything new lately! I need to! Thanks for that reminder that life needs to have some new things, even if they are scary!

Ali: There's a post by the Cleveland Air Show on FB that Simon might like. I tried to copy and paste it, but no go. It's a picture of a fighter jet in Legos and I thought of Simon immediately.

Saying yes to squeaky cheese. Lots of it. I'm only in Wisconsin once a year. :)

Ali, so happy for you!!!

I am saying yes to living fearlessly. I got a new job and signed up for a 5K even though I currently do not run. I think I finally got tired of being afraid of trying new things and possibly failing at them. I am in a good place of open-mindedness and believing in myself. A great place to be. I am thankful.

Ali hi,
I think 'Saying yes to....' would be a great addition to your favourite (or US favorite!) journalling prompts.

So positive!
