First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

Good Morning! Today is my second day writing a blog. I survived the first day and didn't even have a panic attack for fear someone might actually read my thoughts! Today I got up early and fixed breakfast of eggs, peppers, and cheese with multigrain toast. I usually like mushrooms too but I'm out, and some onions. I chopped them but used them all in the chicken I'm fixing for later. I chopped onions, carrots, and celery and poured them over a whole chicken, along with a can of chicken broth. I covered it and left it simmering on the stove. This will make a nice soup for lunch.

I heated the tea I made last night. I discovered just in time it was NOT Decaffeinated like I thought, so I put it in the fridge for this morning. It was a nice touch with my breakfast. I made a grocery list to restock my pantry, since it's getting bare. I'm using up items I've had for a long time, finally clearing out the pantry and starting over. I'm starting my NEW way of eating this year! I'm going to eat healthy and avoid things that affect my allergies. I want to find out how much better I'll feel when I really do this.. seriously! I will let everyone know the results! My goal... to lose a LOT of weight, reduce pain, and become more active, so I can play more with my grandsons, Gavin & Luke.

Gavin turned 2 in Oct and Luke was born early Dec. My goal is to heal my body and mind so I can be around to watch them grow up, and hopefully their children! Today is the first day of the rest of my life! Today I have decided to NOT let others change my plans and/or interfere in my health and healing. I am going to take care of ME first, THEN... if there's anything left of me to give, I'll do what I feel The Lord is leading me to do each day. I'm hoping to regain my health and be able to fulfill the Mission I believe God called me to in 1992, which is "Home Ministries".

I'll fill you in on more details about that later, and give you a link to my blog and website too.

Here's to a Brite New Beginning!

Todays Ponderings

This is the first time I've had a blog. I'm going to jump right in and start rambling. It's what I do anyway. Now I have a place to put my thoughts! Maybe someone will read them and actually enjoy them. It would be nice to find out if my thoughts hold any interest to anyone besides myself. After all, we're entitled to our opinions. I welcome yours if you would like to comment.

The people in my life I take care of on a daily basis like to call me a 'control freak'. I don't think I'm that way at all. I set boundaries and limit what I'll let them manipulate me into doing when they want to feed their addictions. I work with a few demanding, spoiled, and selfish addicts, and they don't like being told "No"! It's a tough life, but somebody's got to do it! Might as well be me! I like me... and that's what really counts, isn't it???
