something new...

I have really been doing a lot of thinking this past week...doing lots of traveling so I have time to think when I am driving. I don't have the patience to spend so much time every day journaling what I eat...I haven't done it for months on Sparkpeople because I don't have the time...or I should say, I really just don't want to take the time. I have determined that I need to learn how to eat normal amounts of good food without having to use some tool or website to track everything I do. I know that is how I have had success but it isn't lasting success cause I can only keep up with it for a few months. I got a DVD and booklet about something called Ayurveda...there is a lot to it that I am still learning, but one of the things is to avoid snacking. For years I have convinced myself that I need to eat 6 times a day...well guess what? It isn't working for me. I feel like I eat all the time and I need to stop...the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results....that is what I have been doing! I ate a bigger breakfast, just a handful of nuts later in the morning and then a bigger lunch than usual. I had an apple later, then a nice supper. I did have a dessert and a small snack later, but I know I ate way less today than I have been and I don't need to have tracked it somewhere to tell me that. Exercise has been good and I think this new change will help me on the road to better health!

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
