God Has Been With Me Today

I was working with the student on my description for the website that would have all my key words and be search engine friendly. I've redone it several times but today as I got ready to rewrite it I said a prayer to God to please let me get it right. I wrote it out - just 2 sentences with the key search words I needed and it flowed perfectly.

Now here is the amazing thing - after I was done I asked Jason to count the word spaces that Google gives for a description. Jason counted them out and it was 148 spaces. So I counted out my 2 sentences and it was exactly 148 spaces. God is amazing - if I had only gone to him first, I could have had it done months ago!!

Week 6 - Weight Watchers

Week 6 - Weight Watchers is my next step towards my weight goal.  I'm a life time member but I have not been there for years. That could be one of the reasons the weight came back!!! 
I don't think you can loss the weight and then go along your merry way.  It's called a "life time membership" for a reason.  They have you for life- at least they do if your smart enough to keep going.

This week I went from 164.2 to 163 with a loss of 1.2 lbs.  I'm doing good but I know I can do better.

De-cluttering My Life.

I love my stuff but I'm happy to be free from the stuff that doesn't enhance my life and really enjoy the stuff that does. I'm all moved into my apartment and the house is gone.

I've come to realize what it really takes to finally be at peace in my home. Freedom from responsiblity of home maintenance - it works for me!

A Perfect Match

As I pack to move I think about being single in a world I once knew as a couple. I think that searching and believing in a soul mate can be dysfunctional and can compound loneliness. First I need to find myself and be at peace with who I am. Then and only then would I ever want to step out into the couple world.

It's a myth to find a perfect mate. He does not exist and if he did I wouldn't be able to stand him. I wouldn't want a man to be too good because that would only show up my own faults. I would want a man with all his faults that loved me with all mine. That was the way it was and I would never want less then what I had.

Memories

I finally took that storage tote out from under the bed. I'm moving and downsizing and after three years it's still hard to look at all the special items I kept from Donnie. It felt like he had just died and all the memories came rushing back. I wish he was here but he's not and so I'm moving again.

I can't seem to settle down and I'm always going from project to project. The other widows keep me going because I know they understand the journey I'm on.

Week 4 of Weigh In

 I went from 164.4 to 164.2. How disappointing is that? I could say that I've been sick and that I've been away for a week, and though that is true, I'm only making excuses. The truth is I didn't watch what I was eating and I got slack.

Thank goodness for the welcoming world of women... laughing and caring about each other. Friends wrap around me like a warm cloak as they continue to offer both encouragement and support. Do you have some good tips to share!!  I sure could use some help.

Week 3 of Weigh In

I can see that this is going to be a journey of ups and downs. This week I'm down 2 pounds from 166.4 to 164.4. At least I'm going in the right direction.

I'm still focused on just 2 lbs a week. It doesn't sound like much, but boy oh boy it's hard to shake it off these old bones
