I guess everyone wants to simplify to make their logos easier to remember. What I perceived from that excellent article is that the logos have become less artistic over the years.

You'll find the day 3 video and pictures of the fallen snowshoe. And don't despair about day 7 -- kids to the rescue again. My son's JK class is going snowshoeing this afternoon and the school has snowshoes for volunteers to borrow, so I'm heading out to do that soon! Safe the firewood for another day!

I'm 52, and have spent way, way too much of my life expecting myself to be perfect, and kicking myself down the street when I can't manage it (which is always). Enough, already! You got up 30 minutes late. So what... ? (and I mean that in the kindest way possible). Truly. So what? So you move on from there. Which it sounds like you did, but you're giving yourself a pretty hard time about it. I really like your analysis of finding little ways to "win" each day and give yourself some positive experiences. But some days, things just don't work out quite like you planned. I've come to believe that how you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move forward is one of the very most important things. Because we will, every flippin' one of us, fall down from time to time! I’ll echo what several others have said about being too hard on yourself, because you probably can’t hear it too much.

I knew from the get-go that nothing wakes me up early other than training on my bike and it's too cold & windy for all of that here now and I'm still letting my hand (not broken after all!!) heal. That being said it's so ON for Challenge 2! I can handle 250 crunches and eating different green veggies (or differently prepared) daily. I tried to sign up for the next challenge but got an error by the way. I love what you wrote about failure and you're right, Seth. You did promise us and you are still human-thanks for writing from the heart. I have failed miserably with Challenge #1 but I’m totally cool w/it.

It's not like self-improvement stops with a person's ideal weight, you know? I don’t see why not. It’s not like self-improvement stops with a person’s ideal weight, you know?

Shock is solely that it is already Thursday! All the New Year's resolution gym people continue to dominate the gym so it's still crowded working out around them as they muddle through "how does this machine work" and generally ignore gym etiquette. Oh well. They will either stick with it as a lifestyle choice or fall out by the end of the month. No crawling or shock failure here. Shock is solely that it is already Thursday!

I'm happy to hear that your children go to a school that lets them out and gets them moving. Many schools don't and I think that hurts our future. ::mourns quietly for fallen snowshoe:: More firewood tomorrow! =) Snowshoeing with the kids sounds fun!

Dude, I just saw that we both posted about dealing with stress on the same day. You ACED me with the dog-licking example though. Blog failure! ::mopes:: Hehe! =) I've had a list of new choices to make lately. Figuring out better or best is much harder than good vs. bad. I'm learning. 1.
