I am BACK #2

Well if anyone has read this they will see that I am not very good at keeping this blog up. Well I will just say I am trying again. As for the last post in Sept. 07 I was so gung ho to lose weight and tried again in Jan 08 but here I sit just as big as ever. Did lose some but of course I didn't hide very well and it found me again. At this point I am forgetting it and just going to try and eat healthier. Wish me luck.

I have been thinking of blogging again alot because I need to keep track of my feelings etc. Just for me and for future generations, if they would even care to read about them.

Having a positive attitude it what we (I) need and I do try. Tonight we had a Red Hat activity and it was fun. Today on the Oprah show she had an author who was talking about how important it is that everyone has fun on a daily basis for good heath along with several other things. The FUN thing really got to me because it is not a daily activity for me. After reading Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth I have started trying to go outside everyday and just sit and enjoy nature. BEING PRESENT in the moment. FUN though is another story.

I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and most of the time when I feel ok we do have fun. I have fun with my Red Hat group and when I am doing things that I enjoy but that definately is not everyday. I am going to try to do that everyday. A friend recently told me that I sound sad in my emails and I never thought about that. I don't usually tell very much about myself in an email so that may be the reason, but come to think of it I am sad more than I am happy. That is my fault! I am working on that as well after reading A New Earth.

Tomorrow I will be picking up my grandsons that live nearby after school so I intend to do something fun with them. I will tell you what we did tomorrow.

I have pretty much been in be the past three days and up only this afternoon to go to the RH activity. I pray that I will feel good tomorrow so I can do somethings that need to be done. I have baby gifts and a wedding that need to be delivered. Need to get things ready to go to Alpine on Friday.

I am very thankful for my many blessings. My husband who is patient with me and accepts me for all my faults. For my children and grandchildren and all they do for me. I am thankful I have a nice home and plenty to eat, income and medical insurance. I am thankful for my friends who also accept me for my faults. I am Thankful for a Heavenly Father who has given me my life and his son to die and pay for our sins. I am Thankful for prayer answered and my abilities. I have so many things to be thankful for and hope to continue to share all my gratitude as time goes on. I pray for my family and friends health and safety, for a good day tomorrow and that Bud will feel better and that the Drs will figure out what is going on with his health.
