How I did it: Every day listed books on Bookmooch.com. I love bookmooch because now with those points I can mooch more books when I have a need. Or, give them away to charity. Either way, it feels good.I also listed the more valuable books on Half.com, so I even made a little change while doing this. If you have an eBay account, you can do this rather easily.I must confess I was able to rush through to the end because I had gone through my stack of kid… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I let go of my expectations and learned to enjoy the person for who they were. At the same time, I suppose I was letting go of expectations for myself and loving myself. Read how I did it…
So, I’m driving around, doing errands, and seeing things that remind me of things. I think of a few instances that I wish I had done differently. Then, suddenly, I laughed out loud, out of a kind of relief. A relief that I wasn’t in that situation any more and that likely if I were in that situation again, I would indeed now do it differently.
What’s the saying? I did the best I could, knowing what I knew. When I knew more, I did better.
Sent out a batch of bookmooches until I ran out of packing tape, ha. That brings my total to 26 gone, 74 to go.
Woke late today and had to do a quickie. Interestingly I found my sweet, quiet spot quickly.
