Organized all my paperwork yesterday. I had stuff from years ago that I was able to recycle. I also made a new system for paper coming in and made file folders to put things away that I wanted to keep. My desk looks so much better and I feel more capable of handling incoming paper!

Turned off extra lights at work and at home. The stars were out and it felt important to keep the skys dark.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

Today I cancelled all my bank account mailings, and also any correspondence from my doctors office since I use Mychart I don't need mail from them.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature

Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

It was a wonderful sunny day today, even though it was cold. The sun encouraged me to walk more than my goal

I went through my tshirts today and bagged them up and put them in my car to take them to the donation center. I will be going through workout clothes tomorrow.
