1. I appreciate the lovely spring weather that began on Sunday, after three days of rain to fill the reservoir.
2. I appreciate my amazing team that support me in getting my message of health and healing out to the world.

I appreciate my glucose meter, which has guided me to identify how my bad sleep habits have effected me and helps me to choose the foods and activities that keep me in balance

My Sleep Commitments for Tomorrow:

1. In  bed, lights out by midnight
2. No food after 8 PM

I'll keep trying til I get it right then increase the challenge
