Hubby went to get some round bales of hay to feed.

I stayed behind to take a walk through the pasture.

It was a beautiful day at the farm,

everything was still and peaceful.

The cows were sprawled out everywhere, chewing their cud.

The calves were playing & exploring.

I searched around for my Buddy boy ...

and quite bummed that I couldn't spot him anywhere.

After a few moments of breathing it all in,

and soaking up all the farmy goodness,

I started to head back to the coral to open the gates for

hubby when he returned.

I heard the truck coming from a distance, I reached the gate,

then... I heard something from behind me.

I turned around, and there he was! 

My boy... Buddy.

He had spotted me.

Today is my one week mark on the Gut health phase of my program.

I'm starting to enjoy the whole process of searching for healthy eatables,

trying new recipes & foods, souping....

 & the wholesomeness of caring

for my body with nutrient rich vittles.

I checked my blood sugar this morning and it is 91.

Wow! 

My mind feels clearer.

I don't feel gross, but....

I still miss my morning cup of coffee.

"Happiness comes from cultivating a spirit of contentment.

You are exactly where you need to be.

All of the things you wish for may come, 

but for right now,

everything you need has been provided.

Look at your life knowing everything is as it should be.

Breathe in this truth and find peace knowing that all is well.

Lift your arms to the sky with gratitude.

Feel your heart swell with appreciation and 

attract happiness by choosing to be content."

Journal notes...

Dare to walk on the high road with God.

Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down.

Grow strong in His constant nourishing Love.

Focus on new levels of living.

Make decisions that will empower you to rise.

'Don't fear something new, walking in new

arenas, & getting new exposure & knowledge.'

"Fear is incomplete knowledge."

Be an example of God's love.

'When His Presence is the focal point of our

consciousness, all the pieces of our life fall into place.'

'Quit focusing on the handicap & begin

appreciating the gift.'

Monitor how you talk to yourself.

'Next to the voice of God, your own voice is

the most important one you will hear.'

"You are with you all the time,

so guard how you talk to yourself."

You are not alone in your struggles.

He "Will not fail or forsake you."

(Deut. 31:6)

Distinguish God's voice from the clamor around you.

Deliberately seek His direction & purpose for your life.

"Practice meditation. When you are alone with the Lord &

quiet before Him, you are better able to listen."

Worrying about what's going to happen is a negative

contribution to your future.

Living in the here and now is the best thing we can do.

Things will work out if we let them.

Focus on what is happening now instead of 

what's going to happen tomorrow.

live today well & in peace...
