There's this wonderful book by Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  It's sort of the most distilled form of self-improvement literature.  When you're in the mood to read it, and ready to hear it, it's filled with brilliant insights.

But I'll admit, it can be a very dry read, if you're not in the mood.

I stumbled across this FANTASTIC video that sums up the habits, in a way that's super accessible. Check it out!

"The world is coming to an end... please log off."

I love funny license plates, bumper stickers, and oddball car decorations.  Stumbled across two today.

First, in the garage at work, this guy.

Then later, at the gym, I saw a car that had giant faux eyelashes on its headlights.

I love stuff like this!

My cat babies, Yin and Yang are creatures of habit.  They have patterns to what they do.  Every day, Yang hangs out with me while I do bathroom-stuff, brushing teeth, shaving, all that jazz.  Every single day he's curious about my deodorant, and wants to smell it.  Every single time he does, he's repulsed by it.  

It's hysterical.  It makes me laugh every time.

Yin has her stuff like this too.  When I come home from work, she wants a few quiet minutes to sit in my lap, get love, and for us to do nothing.

Like this.

I really treasure these regular moments of love with them.  I've had them for 10 years, and each day of them has been priceless.
