I just checked to see the last time I'd posted here..it was the day after Christmas!

So much has happened since then. My sister in law passed away on the 27th

. She had improved a lot since we'd seen her in October, but she was transferred back to hospice a day or two before Christmas. Then my friend Angie was called home to Jesus on Jan. 6th

. She'd outlived the doctor's predictions by five years, and she went out of this life praising God.

But in the midst of sadness, we received good news..Matthew received his official release papers

. He'll be getting out of prison on Feb. 21. He doesn't know yet what the immediate future holds. He'll know more after he reports to his probation officer. He's already thinking about his options. It won't be easy, but I know that God can open doors for him to a new life.

As for my weight, I only gained 3 lbs over the holidays (a miracle!

). My WW weigh-in is tonite, but my eating has been so-so.
Leenie: I know what you mean about sabotage

. I start out each day with good intentions, but sometimes I slip up. All we can do is baby steps.
Cathy: That cold, nasty weather is headed our way

I'm actually kind of glad..this winter has been unseasonably warm, even for Florida.
Sassy: I'm glad the meds are working for your depression. I wouldn't worry about the generics.
Liz: I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better. Sometimes just finding the right balance in our lives makes all the difference.
Kemp: I remember you! I'm so glad you're back
Marble: WTG on the exercise

. Who did you split that entree with, if you don't mind my asking
SkinnyScorp: I'm glad you're here

. I've been on this board for awhile, but I don't post that often. This is an awesome group of people!
Tippy: Good to see you. I hope you get your computer probs straightened out.

to everyone!
