Happy New Year

Wishing you and yours a very wonderful start to 2011! Happy New Year!

Rolling in...

I came across this picture this week and was amazed by it. This is a storm rolling in and if you look closely there is a small sail ship heading right for it. I could only imagine the fear in the people on the sail boat, wondering how they would make it through this storm...I feel like that with this past year...how did I make it through, how did I survive this past year? So many thing happened and there where at times storms that I had no idea how to get through. But with GOD on my side and leading the way we made it through. Sometimes the boat was almost destroyed, we still made it. Sometimes I feel like I'm standing on the shore looking out across the ocean to see a large storm heading right for me....some storms take awhile to make it to shore, others roll across quickly....but no matter what storm we're facing I cling to Christ. It's that simple...in all things, I cling to Him. I don't know what the new year will bring, but I hope it's joy, peace and blessings to all of our lives. We will have storms...you can count on it, but know who you'll cling to!

Happy New Year to you and your families! Celebrate the small things that have gotten you to this place and realize that better things are to come when you take the time to be thankful! I'm thankful for each of you and how your lives have influenced mine.

Getting yourself out...

Just like this picture, which was from this past weekends blizzard the east coast had...but this picture I feel symbolizes life. We always seem like we are shoveling ourselves out of something. Our jobs, families, friends, weight, addictions. It's always something that we're needing to take a shovel and dig out from whatever put us there. I feel that way with the years of the "not caring" attitude I gave towards the way I looked and my weight. Finally this past year I was given the "right" shovel and I began digging myself out. It feels good, it's hard work and it hasn't been easy. But the reward is so worth it!

I was looking at this picture and I thought to myself that after this man gets all the snow off his car and drives to where ever he's going, he better hope that his space that he worked so hard on is still there when he returns...just a thought!

Make this a great day to start digging out of things that are holding you back.

What did you get for Christmas...

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends! We have so much to be thankful for and so much to be giving praises towards. Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? I know I did...but see it wasn't the presents that you unwrapped I wanted, what I wanted for Christmas was to have a Christmas filled with laughter and one that had lots of joy and guess what, I got that! It was great! Of course though I ate like it was my responsibility to do so, that was frustrating but I am not discouraged because I'll get back to where I was and continue on the right path...though the cookies, food and all the stuff in between was MMMM good! HA!

Enjoy the last 5 days we have of 2010....I plan to make the most of this year, but will be glad to put it behind me and start with a brand new year that is full of great opportunities and possibilities!

Merry Christmas!

Sending you a picture of something sweet...just look, don't eat. :) I want to take a moment to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas. I hope that your day is filled with love, joy and grace. Let us not forget the reason for the season and rejoice in the blessings we've been given. Eat a cookie or two :)

Not sure I will be updating till Monday...but enjoy your time with family and friends!

Routine

When I get out of my routine I forget to do things, like blog...I missed yesterday. I think I have a lot of short term memory because I thought of it yesterday during the day but then of course forgot about it. Oh well, yesterday is the past and today is what matters.

I'm in the midst of doing a lot of thinking again. This time it's about those in my life and my surroundings. Nothing that I'd like to share at this time, but maybe down the road I will. I hope that this Christmas season you and your family are blessed and have overwhelming joy in your life. Cherish every moment!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

You did what?

Ok so this weekend I ate like it was my job! Not sure what that was all about but it needs to stop. Of course the holiday's are the worst time of the year because we "justify" why we eat the way we do! At least I do, I think to myself..well I've done so well...so I can have that other cookie or eat something I don't normally do. I MUST stop that thinking because if I'm not careful then the 128 pounds I've lost will be for nothing. Cookies of any type are my down fall and this is the worst of it. BUT I will keep moving forward, stop eating like it's my job and move forward!

Enjoy your baking and instead of giving me cookies, just send me a picture! :)
