No time right now!! I'll try to come back later!!! Life is good ... two more days until VACATION!!!
Okay ... a few minutes while the coffee is brewing here at the office. I am getting very excited about vacation. It is so close I can almost smell the ocean now!! Two more work days, today and tomorrow ... oh boy!!
Our State is still in difficult times financially but I was relieved to hear the news yesterday. By the end of June I'll be back to my regular paycheck. That was quite a relief. I don't think we are out of the woods yet but at least we are holding on by a thread.
Looks like I'll be hovering near the blue line BEFORE vacation!! Of course, I'll gain over the week but if I get right back at it when I return I'll continue to be in my groove. I checked my journal at home to see what I weighed on this date last year ... it was 201. I've done well. I'm pleased. I continue to feel hopeful about this being on ongoing change in my life ... not just a temporary weight loss plan. The support of all of you has just been so essential though ... I can't thank each and every one of you enough!!!
And so today is a good day to be grateful for ...
1. continued employment
2. time to relax with the love of my life (I found myself relaxed yesterday night, thinking how precious each moment is, and realizing that I need to breathe in each ordinary moment and realize just how blessed I am)
3. all of my friends, near and far, the joy that comes from both receiving and giving support, encouragement, and presence
4. realizing that pain is a part of living and an essential part of what creates the opportunity to appreciate life
5. and simple joys like smelling freshly brewed coffee, hearing the birds singing in the morning, watching the antics of my dog, silly comments from friends, and so forth!!
Have a good day ... be good to yourselves!!!
