Baby, its cold outside!!

Where did Fall go? I mean what the heck? I have not seen any of the trees loss many leaves and just last week we were enjoying 80 degree weather. I had to turn on the heater the other day and I really didn't want to, but boy oh boy did we have to. The house has been in the very low 60's and I think even one day I saw the thermostat say 58 degrees. This morning we had some freezing temperatures in the area. The grass in the front yard has a little white glow to it. I enjoy my California weather, don't get me wrong, but to go from Summer to Winter in nothing flat has me all off schedule. I know, I know, should really not complain about 60 degree weather with many dealing with snow, but I enjoy my California weather when it is comfy cosy, not gloomy cold.

There was a moment the other day - a moment of fun goal setting! It being so cold and time to pull out the jackets. There is this one coat I have worn for many years and it is time to actually get rid of it, because it is too big. But, there is nothing else in the closet to replace it. Many items were tried on and for a moment I had a good laugh when I pulled out my High School Letterman's jacket. Yes, I was not able to put even one arm into the thing, but you know what, that can be one great big NSV for me!!! It would be so much fun to actually get into that jacket again. Just the smile on my face right now gives me encouragement. I know I have been out of High School for over 25 years (wow - that is a long long long time - am I really that old??), but I want to show off my curves, show my son that I was a big High School go getter. He has never even seen me pull this jacket out of the closet - I should not hold back - make that my next goal and even if it does not happen for many months from now, it would be so much fun to actually wear it to a family function and show so many what I have accomplished!!! (I promise, no embarrassing my son and wearing it to his school functions - a good Halloween costume for next year...but it would be nice to be in it sooner). I am going to work on that goal as well as get into the other jackets that are also in that closet. Cold it might be, but it is always fun to find a "new" coat that has not been worn in years just to make you feel good about what you are accomplishing!!!!

Still Staying MOtivated Mo - cold or not....
