Ch..ch..ch..changes....

Hello! I realize I have been gone for quite some time. I realize I have not posted my Menu Mondays (trust me there was none to post. I have been on a first name basis with the take out girls). But...I have some news!!! We are finally moving..in the process that is and boy what a process it is when you are doing it yourself, by yourself, for yourself. Can you see the sweat pouring off of me now? I mean really who moves in the middle of June with 3 digit temps? who? yeah that would be me.

So I am busy busy busy trying to hold on to some semblance of reality while I work through all the garbage literal and non literal of my life and try to make it fit into a new home.

I have been contemplating a lot..(as usual). I have plans in my head where I want my blog to go. I have plans in my head where I want my life to go. So hang on with me and please be patient as I learn to be patient with myself. What a journey I am on and how exciting it will be when the dust settles just a bit.

I read a quote I really needed to read this morning which sparked this post on. Isn't it amazing how something you read or see or hear comes at just the right moment? Its like you have to be in the right place to really HEAR what you need to be hearing. So without further ado here it is and by the way I do not have a reference for the quote it was just something said on the Oprah show (and no I don't usually watch it too busy for that lol).

"Nothing good will come into your life unless you are grateful for what you have already."

It's time for me to allow grace and thankfulness into my life. It's time for me to let go of fear, worry, and all that holds me back from grace. It's about time for me.

God has a sense of humor

I woke up this morning checking my emails with the biggest chuckle. My realtor forwarded me the most hilarious joke. It explained how eating Hershey chocolate is bad for us because it gives us "small feet". When the picture popped up it had a photo of 4 very, very obese women that made their feet look small in comparison to their bodies. ha.

Now don't hate me for laughing...I too have some weight to lose but really this was funny.

Anyways the joke was completely timely as last night I was thinking about how unhealthy my eating has become (once again). It seems like there are "signs" all over the place pointing me in the direction to get myself back on track once again. Honestly I have gotten really bad. Sonic cokes daily. Brownies. Chocolate shakes. Fries. Lets just say I have been celebrating the summer with food and swallowing my stress away.

Yuck. Ick. Gross. So this morning bound and determined to lower my sugars and carbs, as I'm fixing my tomato/spinach omelet, I read that joke. What a way to keep me on track when I want to eat that piece of chocolate or drink that sonic coke.
