Classic

So being wide awake at 4:45 am has it's advantages......ok it really doesn't. HA. I laid in bed this morning thinking about everything I don't need to be thinking about. The quiet times this morning allowed me the chance to reflect and regain my focus.

I'm going through another transformation. This time it's inward that I'm changing. The outward appearance and how I'm feeling is doing well. I feel great and look good, I like seeing less of myself. I look forward to seeing even less of what I am now. I was reading an article yesterday about foods, calories and all goes into things...sure makes you think twice before you pick up that Twix or get a milkshake. Just crazy how some things can have more calories then what you should have in 3 days. And we consume it in one meal or snack. CRAZY!

I'm starting to feel better and get the energy I need back..so here's to a strong finish to this week and an even better weekend! Are you with me? :)

Turn that frawn upside down...

Sorry that I'm blogging a little later then normal. I actually went to write this first thing but I realized that I had nothing but complaining to talk about. I woke up this morning down on myself for whatever reason, being frustrated with certain people...not to worry it's no one reading this, beginning to questions certain things going on in my life right now....then I heard the news. It was enough for me to stop the "poor me" and "why me" thoughts and realize that right now 33 people and 33 families where given a second chance..a chance to see their loved ones again and the opportunity to touch lives. I've been checking on and off about the progress they are making to get all the minors out and the pictures and reactions make my heart leap and the tears fill my eyes. We take so much for granted. So much! And it's times like this that make me disgusted with how I feel and think sometimes, that I get wrapped up in "I" and that's not what it's about. It's not about me, it's about those around me, what am I bring to the table to make someone else life better today...makes you think.

So...I've always been told if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Today I realized that all those things I can't say...it's not worth it. Rejoicing with those who have received great news, crying with those who hurt, listening to those who need to speak and praying for those around me, that's what it's all about. I haven't felt that good this week, chalk it up for the time of year, but when I don't feel well I tend to turn inward as I think most of us do. I'm OK with that, because if it wasn't for that...I wouldn't of had the chance to realize the bigger picture today...once again it's not about me.

Care for one another!

Where have I been....

Boy...it's been a blah few days. Good news, last night my brother and his wife welcomed their first child into this world! Elle Ann 7 pounds, 12 oz and 22 inches long. Mommy and baby are doing well. Very excited about this news, makes all the other not so good things going on seem not important. :) She's a blessing and I can't wait to meet her. GOD is great all the time!

I've been sick for the last few days. Flu I believe. I'm tired of being tired and sick. I can't remember the last time that I was sick like this and back to back. Though this week was way worse then last week. I haven't had much of an appetite, I have had peach jello and water...sounds exciting doesn't it. I am hoping that soon I'll start to feel better. Today is a little better, but I am just taking it easy. Because of being sick I was home yesterday and between sleeping and watching TV, there was a show on about people with addictions to food. Pretty crazy stuff, I watched one show and that was enough for me. But this kid, 24 actually, all he had been eating for the last 2 years was pizza. That's all he could eat and he went on this show to help him break this habit. The Dr. on the show did all these tests and showed this kid what was happening to his body because he was only eating that...lets just say that it made me sick to my stomach what was happening to him. He was going to die if he didn't change his ways. Just like everything, to much of something is never a good thing. Once again, we have the control to change the habits and lifestyles if we really want to. If the desire is great, we will do it.

Getting better one day at a time.
