Saying yes

So it's been almost a month since my schedule at work changed, but with travel and the transition I haven't really gotten to enjoy having my evenings back until last week and this week. But now that I've settled into it, I've found myself saying yes to more things, and I like that. A few things I've gotten to say yes to recently:

The gym — If I follow through today, I will have made it to the gym three times this week. That hasn't happened in a very long time. I even got to go with a friend on Monday.

Books — I don't ever stop reading even if I'm busy, but I don't always find time to sit and finish a really good book in the middle of the week. But I did that on Tuesday and finished The Postmistress, if you need a good book, pick this one up. I really enjoyed it.

Ice cream (and friends) — In the past week, I've gone for ice cream (actually gelato and frozen yogurt) three times, and I had to turn down a fourth invite that came 20 minutes after I had gotten home from frozen yogurt. I have a rule that I can only go to the serve yourself frozen yogurt place that is four blocks away if I am going with someone else. The frozen yogurt is good, but it's even better to sit and chat with friends.

I'm looking forward to saying yes to more things this summer!
