____ 1. Being supportive of friends. There is an old saying that goes, 'True friends are worth their weight in gold.' Having friends to talk to, to lean on, to work things out with, and to enjoy spending time with is priceless. This week, think of all the benefits you derive from friendships in your life, and 'give back.' Encourage a friend to apply for that new position at work. Tell her she has nothing to lose and that she is up for the challenge. Nudge a friend to try out that new spin class because he just might like it. Give a friend a helping hand when she's 'down for the count' (perhaps she just had surgery or has a spouse going through health issues). Bring her family a meal so they don't have to worry about cooking. Be a good listener and a cheerleader for your friends. Friendships are like gardens...they have to be cared for to bloom.

____ 2. Packing lists. Every time I travel, whether it's for a few weeks or just overnight, I open my packing list file on my computer, add whatever specific things I need to the list, and print it out. I don't have to start from scratch...I already have everything listed in categories such as clothing, toiletries, electronics, etc., and just add as needed for that specific trip. This list also includes tasks that need to be done before we leave such as finding a pet sitter, changing the thermostat, and taking out the trash. I've used this same list for years, adding and removing as needed so it's current. I never forget to bring a nightlight, my Chapstick...or anything for that matter. As I'm packing, I check off each item, one by one. The last thing I pack is the list itself...I then use it again when I'm ready to re-pack before I return home so nothing gets left behind.

____ 3. Sleep Mask. A month ago, I had to take an early flight and, WOW, the sun streaming in the windows was super-bright. I closed my window, but there was still tons of light from other passengers windows who wanted theirs open. I did notice a lady a few rows back wearing a sleep mask and I thought to myself, 'She's a smart cookie!' So, I just picked one up to use when needed. This particular one is a game changer. I really like it because it's not flat, but rather gives you 'eye space,' which means your eyes won't feel squished. It's made with memory foam so it's lightweight, comfy, and covered in silk (so it's gentle on your face.) It also blocks out light completely. As a bonus, this one comes with ear plugs too, in case you're sleeping next to someone who snores...or if the guests in the hotel room next door are playing their TV a bit too loud.
