You deserve someone in your life who thinks you're a big deal- day 45

Isn't it funny sometimes how you can see a small phrase and it just hits you? Like, nothing even wildly profound or intellectual, but somehow everything you needed to hear?

I read a quote, "You deserve someone in your life who thinks you're a big deal."

And that hit me in such a real way. I think my past relationships have made my interests feel so trivial, or my accomplishments seem so small, that I never thought much about me was special. Until I was loved so profoundly by Andrew. How Andrew thinks I am a BIG DEAL. He is always bragging on me to people about the smallest things I do...

"You should see how many books Peyton reads, its incredible."

"Most people don't know this, but she knows a ton about politics and follows it closely."

"Peyton makes everyone around her feel like her best friend."

"Everyday, when she comes home, it's the best part of my day."

He just thinks everything about me is big, and important, and significant. He listens passionately to what I say, even when it's me describing a game I made for my book club. He finds me interesting, and special, and funny. He thinks I'm smart, and strong, and wild. He includes me in everything he does, because he is proud me, and wants to show my light to others. Andrew thinks I'm a big deal, and it is the sweetest kind of love I have ever known.

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
