game changers

I've been in a bit of a funk {again} as of late.  The monotany of life sometimes just starts to wear on me.  BUT, while I was in Hawaii I picked up some things at the little gift shop in our resort that have seriously helped improve my mood.  First is this book:

I love it.  I've been keeping it on my nightstand nex to my bed and I read just one little snippet of it each night as part of my personal devotional.  It's been great.  Sometimes I share it with Preston and I think he lets me just to please me. :)  I've found that the following morning I'm thinking about what I read in this the night before and the thoughts always seem to pop up at random times throughout the day.  I've had several instances already when a quote from this book has popped into my head to snap me out of feeling discouraged.  Anyways, I love it.  And I'll be reading it for the next 995 days. :)

The second thing I got was this:

I love this little thing! It makes keeping a journal so easy!  I still have a larger journal that I write more detailed entries in but I love that I can write in this every day and it takes like 2-3 minutes tops.  It will last five years and I think it will be so fun to look back on and compare what I did each day over a five year period.  And the best part about it is, I can't really justify not writing in it since it is so simple.  That alone is worth it to me.

Happy almost Friday!
