[...] on November 6, 2009 by Susan Hi everyone! Thank you sooo much for all the kind comments on my last post regarding my car accident. I try not to ramble like that too much on my blog, but when I sat down [...]

Oh no – I’m glad you’re okay!
Me and yoga…not so much. I’m willing to keep trying it, though; maybe one day, it’ll stick.

Yay for joining yoga month!! I currently AIM for three a week but I’ve definitely been falling short. This will hopefully encourage me to be a bit more accountable…and flexible!

So sorry about the accident love. Nothing like it to ruin your day. Chin up!

So sorry to hear you were in an accident! Glad you are okay!

I actually backed out of my driveway this morning with my back windshield all frosted up! Your post reminds me I should start the car earlier!

Something that has brought me joy today….the Bert and Ernie Google logo. I love Sesame Street.

Aw man! Sorry to hear about the accident – I’m glad that things are looking alright though in terms of insurance/repairs. Sorry I couldn’t weigh in on the whole coffee/tea debate but it’s hands down coffee – black gold!

Well…let’s put a positive spin on things and say at least you got your first (and hopefully only) accident out of the way. Good thing it was minor :)

As for life being a to-do list, I prefer to occasionally make “to-don’t” lists (and should do a post about this soon…gotta put that on my to-do list). These lists include things like not freaking out if I don’t have everything on my to-do list done, not calling someone I know I shouldn’t call just because I’m bored and feeling needy (ha), don’t limit myself to only a certain type of food for the day, etc.

It’s kind of freeing, as sometimes I only know what I don’t want to do (in a healthy way, of course) and it leads me to be more productive in the long run :)

Ugh! Hate that! So sorry about the coconuts my dear, but at least there were some limes in there too–perhaps you can make a lovely daiquiri of some sort? Your positivity is outstanding, however. Joy for the day (thursday)? Ironically enough, given your new challenge, my joy was yoga. There is a class that I love with an amazing instructor on Thursday evenings, and when I get to go, it makes my whole day! xoxo

Those pancakes look delicious! But I’m sorry about your accident. That’s a horrible feeling:(

One good thing about my day yesterday was I got to talk to one of my bff’s for a while!

Julie, my car is barely scratched! The mazda took the brunt of the damage. I really plowed into it :\

How did I miss that on twitter?! I’m so sorry! Your new baby! At least you were OK! Everything else is fixable.

I’m so sorry to hear of the accident. At least your dad is able to give some assistance. I was thinking of joining the yoga challenge as well…

Oh no! I hope everything works out ok, and soon! You have such a lovely attitude though…you’re so right about the to-do list thing.

My somewhat experimental dinner (tacos, haha) was a success. That brought me joy. And I’m listening to the Colbert Report right now, and that’s bringing me joy as well.

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry about your accident! I had my first one last year.. I was driving my dad’s car to pick him up since he had taken my car to get an oil change! I wasn’t paying that close attention and switched lanes only to find the car in front of me breaking and I didn’t have enough time to break and I rear ended him. It messed up my dad’s car quite a bit… nobody was hurt but I’ll never forget that feeling! I was shaking from being so scared! I’m so happy everyones ok though.. hang in there!

I also forgot to mention the Body Pump classes I take are the Les Mills too! We’re on track 71 :)
