As you think about the habits that need to change in your life, read this thought provoking post.  "Here’s the process:     Start small. What’s the smallest increment you can do? Do this for at least 3 days, preferably 4-5. Get started. Starting the change each day is the most important thing. Want to run? Just get out the door. Want to meditate? Just get on the cushion. Enjoy the change. Don’t look at this as a sacrifice. It’s fun, it’s learning, it’s a challenge. Stick to the change. Notice your urge to quit. Don’t act on it. Keep going. Adjust again. When the change becomes normal, make another small adjustment. This is the process of creating a new normal. It’s beautiful and simple."</p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/habits">habits</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/mindfulness">mindfulness</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/self">self</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/awareness">awareness</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/selfcontrol">selfcontrol</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YSqK8gyXZDI#!">Top Blogging Mistakes - Platform Tip #3 - Michael Hyatt - YouTube</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">I enjoy Michael Hyatt's podcast.

Friday Night Pizza

Ciaran was at boxing until 9pm last night so when he came home we decided to go to Milano's for a casual bite to eat.  Milano's is a cheap and cheerful neighborhood restaurant.  Perfect for a late night easygoing meal.<br /><br />I had the "Pollo ad Astra Leggera" which had a hole in the middle filled with salad.  Ciaran had an Americano which was a pepperoni.  He would have liked extra pepperoni but he refused to pay €2 for extra!  My chicken had spicey chicken, red onion and tomatoes on top.  <br /><br />We had double baked rosemary polenta chips on the side.  I liked them, Ciaran did not. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiDWQ4s9qG-aWL5_1gwnkm9lfuSkAje8L-D_s4u-KzhL78A0SefMz-sezMlghFy4AA-AMLZQOSp6EhgP_UhvWfcQpN2csSMRVI24OItWjL2s3HamU_4bzCUL0n7x6iqAdUDB3jjOQY9-nK/s640/blogger-image--461133368.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiDWQ4s9qG-aWL5_1gwnkm9lfuSkAje8L-D_s4u-KzhL78A0SefMz-sezMlghFy4AA-AMLZQOSp6EhgP_UhvWfcQpN2csSMRVI24OItWjL2s3HamU_4bzCUL0n7x6iqAdUDB3jjOQY9-nK/s640/blogger-image--461133368.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpl_azoEN8XCr5Wyw4Iz5IydP3xufi3nao8N2cX7J5fi31vxJJ43O16Gvfq8-FFvJN9FwEFyDxgJkYNg7e_fHZXmJE8mHt_MwS4nYlQ4CdDHbzKFadBD55-bPFSmtjnBbuXQfUDVoTIxKW/s640/blogger-image-135524650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpl_azoEN8XCr5Wyw4Iz5IydP3xufi3nao8N2cX7J5fi31vxJJ43O16Gvfq8-FFvJN9FwEFyDxgJkYNg7e_fHZXmJE8mHt_MwS4nYlQ4CdDHbzKFadBD55-bPFSmtjnBbuXQfUDVoTIxKW/s640/blogger-image-135524650.jpg" /></a></div>

Fox Renews Glee for Season 5, Then Renews It Again for Season 6

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img src="http://static.tvtome.com/images/genie_images/news_hub/uploaded/TimSpotnews136639814769/glee.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">One of the higher-profile television shows whose future has surprisingly remained up in the air—until today, anyway—is Fox's <i>Glee</i>. Despite being one of the network's most talked-about programs and making it rain with its side business of selling songs on iTunes (Fox says it's sold more than 53 million <i>Glee</i> songs online and another 13 million <i>Glee</i> albums), <i>Glee</i> entered mid-April without any official word of a renewal. Even the bumbling crime caper <i>The Following</i> <a href="http://www.tv.com/news/fox-renews-four-the-following-new-girl-the-mindy-project-and-raising-hope-136242732350/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">got renewed</a>. </div><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Well, the question of <i>Glee</i>'s future was answered in spectacular Ryan Murphy-esque fashion when Fox ordered a fifth season of the musical comedy. AND a sixth season. That's right, after pussyfooting about the decision for months, Fox suddenly decided the show was worth another 44 episodes. </div><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">In all likelihood, the decision to renew was already made by Fox, and the delay in the announcement had more to do with the <i>Glee</i> team negotiating for a bigger pickup. And given the way the general public thinks <i>Glee</i> is tumbling down in quality, it's a risky move on Fox's part. But hey, ITUNES DOWNLOADS.</div></div>
