Let’s Start with Affirmations

[poiseandpen]

Happy first day of Writo de Mayo! How are things going?

Examples of positive affirmations include:

• I am organized.
• I am a writer.
• I am an editing machine.
• I am a

I... didn't write anything today. But I organized. And got some prompts I've been looking at. And took my kitty to the vet. And went to the bank (and sat for like an hour waiting). And... I know I did something else today but I can't remember what. So I feel goodish about it all.

Sounds like a good day.

It was a pretty good day. I'm hoping I'll write tonight. I tried to during my break during subbing today, but I just couldn't focus so I played Angry Birds and read instead. :-)

Better than you were a few days or a month ago, right?

I was able to take the "before" picture of my desk. And then the battery camera died.

[shanachie_quill]

Oh no! Its a chargable? And not put new batteries in? That was one thing I hated about my SLR. It used Lithium batteries which were impossible to find. So my batteries were always dying at the most inopportune moments.

Yeah, it was an anniversary present from 2005 or 2006. I had a newer camera which I won at the office Christmas party but it was stolen in NYC 2 years ago and I just can't commit to a replacement yet. :)

[shanachie_quill]

*nods* That makes sense. My sister has a camera that also needs to be charged. My point and shoot one just takes regular batteries. Oh I feel so bad about the NYC thing. I always tell people to be careful when there. I'm even careful and I used to live there.
