Oh so MUCH to say to you...
This article http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/wellbeing/5376793/Stopping-the-merry-go-round and also a discussion with friends about this Hello Sunday Morning http://hellosundaymorning.com.au/ made me realise there is no such thing as a new idea! Have a read - they're interesting.
I went to dinner on Saturday night and didn't drink. It was great and much easier than I thought... and I still had a laugh! Especially at myself... I took along a bottle of Tonic water. And drank it all, all 1.5L of it and felt oh so virtuous! But right at the end of the bottle we all took a look at its contents.
WHO KNEW HOW MUCH SUGAR WAS IN TONIC WATER!!!!!! 22g per 250 mls! I drank 24 teaspoons of sugar! My virtuous feeling was very swiftly deflated on finding that out!
I have been doing pretty well keeping my resolutions, and haven't added any new ones in this week as I want to consolidate my progress.
I had a run in today with some high school boys who called something out to me across the street. As I walked away I got a feeling that I needed to tell them that yelling out to a woman was not appropriate behaviour so I tracked them to The Warehouse, where I walked up to them, demanded an apology and told them to "never ever yell out like that at a woman again" after which I spun round on my purple suede heels and strode off.
I was quite timely then as I sped away in my car that I heard this saying, mentioned in reference to the rioting happening in London at the moment... "evil can only step in, when good people step aside".
I challenge you this week to not step aside.
