The Gift I Gave For Me

I must say, I was totally impressed with NewlyHusband's Valentine's Day gift for me this year. No flowers, jewelry, chocolate candy, nor stuffed animal BUT a wireless Logitech Tablet Keyboard for my iPad! NewlyHusband is so totally awesome...and practical, LOL.

But honestly, I am more impressed with the gift I gave to myself this year.

If you have ever been to a leadership seminar, read a self help book or visit a psychotherapist, you must have heard this saying; "Before you can expect others to love you, you must first learn to love yourself."

That sayings above can be modified to so many things and will still ring the truth. Examples; "before you can expect others to change, you must first learn to change yourself." or "before you can expect others to bring you happiness you must first learn to catch them yourself." etc...etc...

The point of this sayings is that EVERYTHING starts from you.

So that is the reason why this year, not only I bought gift for my husband, (which by the way, was a really neat personalized cereal bowl from PersonalizatonMall.com that impressed him so much) I also give one for myself.

It is a book I found in my BFF, Mrs.G's favorite coffee shop in town, Coffee Times. This book is called The Self Help Smorgasbord by Knock Knock. It has 104 pages of weekly activity for 52 weeks too help yourself find contentment.

This book, is obviously published for entertainment purposes and not in any way was license to help crazy NewlyWife like me. But it is no doubt will be a fun adventure to try.

The plus side of giving myself the gift of this book, considering I will have to have a resolution to stick to after valentines day, this will be my easy ticket. The resolution of making changes, will starts from me, with the help of this book.

One more thing.
I have invited my BFF, Mrs.G to walk with me through this project.
What girl doesn't appreciate some help from her BFF to stick with their resolution?
Mrs.G minds, of course, but what the hell, as a good friend I will drag her into this anyway whether she likes it or not (*evil smile)

And so, let's have the recording of the progress starts today,,,,
