madaboutmoose's Journal, 03 August 2012

My scale is still bouncing all over the place. I was 211 yesterday and at 212.4 today. Diligently working not to let that frustrate me.

We saw Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Johnny Clegg (also from South Africa) last night. Tonight we go to see Allison Krauss and Union Station. Tomorrow we are going to camp for a night and "shake out our gear" (husband's language).

I've had a rough week emotionally. Some details are better left unshared here. I'm working on the issues. I confess, I am completely human, fallible and make crazy choices to cope with my stress. Nothing food wise though ... in that category I've been doing well.

Time to get myself ready for tonight. Sorry I've been absent again. I wish I could just talk to you and the computer would record it ... I think a lot about what I will write and then simply run out of time to do it.

I hope you are all well.

Take care.

Glen, your post reminds me of how much I missed you when you were gone. Your comments always touch my heart and make me think. I couldn't agree more. I've always struggled with my humanity. Probably always will. Lately it has gotten the better of me though and that has been tough. I know what to do though and am working on it. Forgiveness and acceptance of myself is always the hardest.

Seems like we have all been struggling lately. I know I sure have, and yes, I tend to make some poor choices when I am. Don't be too hard on yourself, Carol. We are all human, we all stumble, but the great thing is that we always have the opportunity to put things right! Hugs, my gorgeous, amazing, lovely, loving, faithful, kind, wonderful friend! You make my heart happy!

So I am not ever the only one on this boat either? I read something the other day in spanish, it said 'the hardest thing is to live and I am doing that already', idk if that helps at all. I want to go camping so badly right now!

Why do you keep getting on the scale if its bothering you?? Go on once a week, and thats it. I know its hard, but its what I'm trying to do. Sorry your having a hard time - No need to go into details, just know that we are here to support you. <3

I'm glad you have been getting out and having some fun. I do miss you when you are not here but I know that sometimes it just isn't possible. We all make those same crazy choices in our lives in one way or another and it seems so much easier to forgive someone else than to forgive ourselves. Slow and steady Carol, you will get through all this to the other side. I know you will. I was happy to see you here this morning. Try to relax today and have some fun!! Forget about everything except you. Have a wonderful fun Carol day!! Hugs! You know I am here.

Sorry Moose about this rough week. We are all only human, we only do what we can... I'm glad you had fun at the festival, and this camping weekend sounds like fun!
