I'm back!! What a weekend!!!
I feel good about myself, I had a very laid-back weekend with my nieces and other family and spent some great time with great people. But mostly, I am grateful that everyone I know is safe and alive, despite having tragedy strike many of their lives...
A tornado hit a small town only a few miles from my home. I'm sure many of you may have seen it on the news - Parkersburg, Iowa, a town of only about 1800 was hit very hard. It is such a unique, quaint little community with many beautiful, old houses - and all of them are gone. Six people were killed in Iowa, four of them in Parkersburg. I have many friends that have been effected, a few of them in the hospital and everyone I know that lives there has completely lost their home. But everyone is alive.
I just got back in town today, but I will be there helping with the cleanup for the rest of the week. Please, everyone, keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
After Saturday my little life goals didn't seem so daunting. I didn't do so well on watching what I ate this weekend. But better than I have done in the past. I really am conscious about how certain foods affect my body and I find myself avoiding them. I am recommitted this week to making a difference - in my own life and in the lives of others that need my help right now.
I hope everyone had a weekend that they can be thankful for!
