More snow

Just looked out the back door again and yes, it is still snowing...again... I had to change my whole schedule for the week due to the snow last week and had to cancel a meeting cause of the snow this week. I know it will all work out, but it is frustrating. Shouldn't be since there is nothing to do about it. I need to just relax and watch the pretty snow fall! I knew I needed to stop and get new windshield wipers, I was on my way home thinking, I am going to stop and get new wipers and minutes later, one of them popped off and just started hanging there! Okay, I guess they really wanted to be replaced! Now I have a brand new pair of nice RainX wipers. They were expensive, but I feel like I go through them so fast when I buy the cheap ones, it was time to buy good ones and see if they last any better.

I decided on some new goals for myself starting this week.

1. Balance my diet...less carbs, more protein and fat to hit the right rations and keep losing weight
2.Stick to 1300 to 1400 calories a day
3.No lattes for a whole week...if I could stop drinking diet soda, I can stop drinking Starbuck's lattes. This is more in the interest of saving money than it is saving calories since the lattes counted as a dairy serving. They are still more calories and caffeine than I need.

Every day that I don't drink a latte, I am putting $2.00 in a jar (actually it is a Phillies glass hidden in a cupboard...that way I won't see it all the time and think of stealing the money out of it...lol) When it is time for a reward, there will be the money for it!

Stay on track with everything else I am doing:
Exercise, Water, Good thoughts!!

Happy Monday!  Not quite as cold today - but still fall-like. Left work early today to go to a Dr. appointment - now I have a little extra time to relax before heading to Celebrate Recovery tonight.  I will tell you more about this wonderful ministry some other time, but feel free to Google the name to learn more. My husband looked back at some pictures he took this summer when my sister and her husband were visiting.  My brother-in-law passed away a couple of week ago, after a battle with cancer.  DH cropped down this pic for me - I love it! Have a blessed night! Missy

Feeling blessed

I was thinking about my perception of my past.  When I go to  Celebrate Recovery  and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life.  It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about.  Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person.  He had some good qualities.  He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous.  He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better.  We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape.  We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting
