An attitude of gratitude... March
No matter what is happenning in our lives - good things or not so good things - there are always things for which we can show gratitude. It puts it all into perspective.

- home sweet home
- a good trip away - first for Alex's third birthday and then eight days with my sister Barbara after her back surgery - willingness to try and eat healthfully and in a sane manner while I was gone - which I mostly did - my own easy chair/lazy boy - love it - friends, family, this cite, facebook, cell phones, internet |
- being able to bend over and pick up pine cones yesterday
- sleep - enjoying talking with friends at church last night while ignoring the refreshment table - my sweet baby granddaughter - our county's Leisure Center |
+ a very nice weekend
+ learning to eat and enjoy whole foods + no Diet Dew for 1 week and the headaches are gone + more than enough + 25 lbs to 200...HOLY COW! |
- friends who support my weight-loss efforts - both in person and here!
- feeling my heart swell with happiness when i hear an upbeat song or feel the sunshine - I am not depressed like I was before I began! - all the new and exciting things life springs on you just when you think you've got it all figured out! |
Seeing the sun and blue sky today for the first time in ages.
Realising a pair of my gym pants are definitely too big and I need new ones. Getting through my step class and although it was with a different instructor and harder than usual, managing to keep going and enjoy it. Getting through a difficult weekend of socialising and family visiting without going as off plan as I expected. |
