The idea I've expressed here before, that while I don't have the resources to do everything I want to do, but I do not need to do anything I don't want to do, is serving me well, most of the time.
At least, unless you think that avoiding things I should do that I don't want to, like housework and reducing my possessions, turns out to be a problem.
I figure, should is not a motivating force for me. 'Should' does not equal 'Need'. When these things need doing (or when small steps are required - I don't fall behind on doing the dishes or washing my clothes), I do them, because I want to, and don't mind.
Housework and sorting and tossing possessions, until there is a need, I'm living like a newly-minted bachelor boy. One who's a lazy slob by inclination, if not nature.
So it goes..
My brother sent me a science article about studies that show living gratefully has physical, emotional and social benefits. I've felt this for some time, and my living a life of expressed gratitude has been a wonderful thing - and there's no chicken-and-egg question about it: I was grateful before I decided to be happy.
I am grateful I made that choice, and grateful to be here to tell about it.

I'm thinking: Not bad, given some of the food I ate Sunday - I was going for a loss until then. Even so, look at the trend line: It no longer hits the upper bound.
