jsfantome's Journal, 21 July 2013

Hey Everyone, Well...it was such a fantastic trip. My favorite 'Cuz / Sister / Best Friend... gave me a Surprise Cruise for my 50th Birthday. Just her and I and tons of fun in the sun!

Now, I have never gone away w/ my hubby, or my Mom, or my Kids~ so this was w/out a doubt...a FANTASTIC TRIP!

I didn't think it would be. But two women, both turning 50...OH MY...what laughs, what insight...it was just ridiculous how easy it was to finish each other's sentences, or get the joke that no one else even noticed!

Then I went back to her house for a week to visit w/ my last living relative on my mom's side of the family...my Auntie! She's 93 and amazing. And I totally enjoyed spending time w/ her.

I am guessing by the clothing...I don't think I gained...but I sure didn't lose. Everything fits the same as when I left. And that's ok. (Sure beats the alternative!)

But now, I have some goals between here and the end of the year. Every change in life requires a little focus...a positive attitude...and a 'Get 'er Done' Spirit!!! And in the end...that is the BEST GIFT my 'cuz gave to me!

Back on a Mission to see this through - and find my way back to a MUCH more comfortable weight, a much healthier lifestyle, and something that becomes second nature w/out having to 'think' about it all the time. An every other day commitment to exercise or activity (thank you GOD that I am healthy enough TO exercise or increase my activity!) - and a GRATEFUL heart to embrace LIFE and all that it has for me in this new decade!

Hope you are all well...off to go read some journals. MUCH LOVE!
