choices

Okay, so how many times have you heard the phrase "I made a mistake"??? I believe that we make choices. There is a difference. It has taken me awhile to figure it out. Stop, take a deep breath and realize the consequences - to you, to those you love, to the universe and yes, even to those you have never met. What CHOICE do you really want to make? Think about it......

Respectful

So today I will respect myself - my body, my spirit, my soul. Maybe it will become habit? I will go to my pilates reformer class and stretch and bend and love this beautiful body, this sacred temple that I have been given. My daughter (who is home from college) and I will spend the afternoon at the movies watching "New Moon", and then lunching, laughing, talking and discussing - simple things to serious ones....reconnecting, sharing hopes, dreams and silliness. What could be better? And then late this evening, my son will get home from college and my family will be complete. Looking forward to the hugs!

Insatiable

Okay....so, I'm doing this - for no one really, other than myself. I'm telling no one. I found myself today to be INSATIABLE - I fill myself with food and alcohol...and no, I'm not an alcoholic, nor am I addicted to food, however, I USE them inappropriately at times to "fill me up". I do it intentionally, making a pact with myself to "start again tomorrow". But we all know that tomorrow never comes.

I'm a 5'6" woman, normal weight (size 6), a few extremely close friends and MANY good friends. I am truly blessed. I have two awesome grown children - they are in college. I am trying to find my "purpose"...I volunteer - for breast cancer and at a local hospice....still...something is missing....more later......
