Ophélie Lechat

For the past week, I have started my day by reading Steve Pavlina’s writing, and listening to his podcasts.  I’ve been teaching people to knit, learning things from friends, trading skills.   This afternoon, I’m going to a yoga class.  In August, I’ll be joining Toastmasters.  Over the past few days, I’ve learned to create a self-hosted Wordpress site.   I’m drinking my water, I’m eating three healthy meals.

I’ve also been finishing the knitting projects that I start — three lace shawls in the past month, a sweater, a cardigan.   Some of these will be gifts.  I’m making more than I can use, just for the pleasure of learning new techniques.

There are tiny, hard, green tomatoes growing on my back porch, and a tiny green bell pepper.   Enough basil to make a ton of pesto.   A container full of mint, reaching higher every day.

It all feels really, really good.
