Foxes

The pups were out a lot today.

I imagine they will be moving on soon.

I will take it all in while I can.

You

"You are everything that brings you joy,

lights you up, turns you on,

holds your attention, fills your heart,

cracks you up, makes you weep,

calms you down, enlists your talents,

inspires you to grow....

It's all right there, inside yourself,

everything you need to know about how to be

the perfect expression of you. 

Trust your own gut, your own feelings,

your own joy, above all else."

Light

I didn't think I could do it, so I walked around in the dark.

When I finally had enough,

I learned what I needed on YouTube, and fixed it.

It's nice to finally see again.

Delighted

He sent me a text wishing he had his camera.

He always captures some really great shots.

I am delighted that my kiddo takes pleasure in

something I love.

Calm

It felt good to work hard pulling the weeds from the brick.

The company, the sunshine, the focus.

It was it's own form meditation.

Resume

It's been over a year since I played.

I started out good,

then BAM. Gone.

I was not my best self today.

Outing

We took a drive. 

She was hungry for a corndog & onion rings.

It was nice to spend time together.

Told each other we need to do that more often.

She has the best laugh.

Empowered

It's been a minute since I've been on here.

I put myself in a short time-out.

 My Doctor put me in a diet time-out.

No sugar,

 salt & pepper

 dairy

 yeast,

or fruit

no beverages except for water & herbal teas..

pretty much eliminated everything.

The list of what I can eat is shorter.

Lean beef, chicken and brown rice & vegetables.

I was excited to do it for health reasons,

but it has been really tough ! 

Throw Easter, Brandon's Birthday & Mother's Day in, and watch me squirm a little.

Yet...I did not give in. 

Honestly, I am pretty dang proud of myself.

It's been a game changer.

Three more weeks.

My girlfriend checked my blood sugar the other day.

80

it was

126.

It was a very good day !!

I have discovered a lot about myself through this.

 (like I will survive without chocolate, coffee or Ice Cream)

I feel stronger and more energetic.

I like this new season I am in.

I plan on continuing with healthier choices.

I love the way I feel.

Today I am grateful for:

a girlfriend that wasn't afraid to let me know I wasn't being the best I could be.

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube

a special mothers day note from Brandon 

upping my hand weights

" Let disempowering thoughts pass  you by,

don't own them.

Select a more empowering thought."

Stay safe & be well!
