I think I'm losing weight due to walking and the healthier diet here - but I don't know because there is no scale in the house. My only scale is the mirror.
This made me think that when we examine our lives for fruit of the Spirit or spiritual growth, we shouldn't rely on scales or metrics, but should take a hard long look at ourselves in a spiritual mirror. What can we use to reflect our souls? I would suggest other trusted mature believers and the best mirror: God's word, the Bible.

No Worries, Mate
A lesson I've learned from the Kiwis in these first two days is to not sweat things so much. I very much like their phrase, "No worries, mate" or "No worries, love". I was buying a plug adapter and it was $12. I pulled out a ten and was fishing in my pocket for a $2 coin but was having trouble with my arm. The cashier said, "No worries, mate - I'll sell it to you for $10".
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
