I woke once again with headach big time back of neck and tempos...is this called living?

I am also having major thight and lower back pains(feel about the same as yesterday) but I got pissed and said I can not let this be my life....so got self moving...breakfast, cleaned basement bathroom, hemmed shower curtain which was tooooooo long, read a bit of my book, then started my work out...not finished..need water so sat here to read and drop note...

I have done my stretch work out, Olipical workout...just weighs then I will head for along soak hoping the pains cool off....I am still in pain... but I am trying to be Greatful for what I do have

I always draw the cards blind...when you read what the day has given it can make you STOP AND THINK....

I have been going for massages almost every week for past month...to work on the pain I have been suffering for over 7 years now...wonder if the should will ever give me some pain free days.  I am also having almost daily headaches...which my doctor is trying to figure out for me.  But I have started to watch my eating once again...and working out almost daily...stretching, elipical and lite weighs...so slowly day by day I will become stronger...

I just wander why...some time...why are we here?

well better run...enough questiioning for now

Take Care Be Good to you!

 

where have I been all my Life?

Here I sit...sad mad confused...why did I let go and gain some pounds back again? (back at 182) I have been having a very life changing time...have been on a leave from work...now going on 4 mths...I have been just numb...feel that way today as well.  Yes I am under doctors care...and I really want to find the total me this year...I believe that I have never figured that I was worth much my whole Life...hate to say it...but the more time I spend working on what came to a boil in aug...I think I have always tried to hide...not be noticed...I was tall and slim most of my life...after getting married and started having kids...wonder if its a test of how much could he really love me????  I am over 200 (at one time) and he's still here...well this is the year for me to put the past where it belongs...behind me and Learn to LOVE ME and take care of me...Taking care of me will help to show the family how to really love and be loved and be whole...I am sure that this will be one long journey...but it is very over due...

Peeler makes one think!

Working Out!

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even serioosly consider them as believable or achievable.   Winner can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Take time to listen really listen

Karen Drucker MySpace "Gentle with Myself"

you really have to listen

 

Cheryl Richardson:

This week, I invite you to do three things to create more peace in your heart and mind, and in the world:

1.  Download the following song from itunes:

"Gentle with Myself" by
Karen Drucker.  Listen to this song several times and, as you do, imagine installing it into your brain like a software upgrade -- one that will dramatically improve the quality of your thoughts and the functioning of your mind.

2.  Find something wonderful in at least one person a day and tell him or her about it.  Remind a friend how creative she is.  Let a co-worker know he's a good dad.  Surprise your son or daughter with a positive acknowledgment of some kind. 

makes you think???????????????? Cheryl Richardson)

Here's how I began...

I'm so fat.
I hate how I look.
I just don't have any discipline.
And I'm lazy.
I procrastinate about everything.
I'm too old - no one will want me.
I never do anything right.
My kids can't stand me. I'm a horrible mom.
My boss is ungrateful. All he wants is more, more, more.
My husband is clueless. He never listens to me.
That school board member is a jerk.
My son's teacher is just too full of herself.
I can't possibly vote for a black man for president.
How dare miss conservative parade her pregnant daughter on stage.
John McCain is old and out of touch.
Barak Obama is just a community organizer.
Joe Biden has no experience in the real world.
Sarah Palin is a pit bull.
The whole world is going to hell.

I waited several seconds when I finished reading this list before asking:  Sound familiar? 

How about you? Go back and review the list. How often have you heard yourself uttering similar words?  Think about it. How much of your precious energy is wasted on beating yourself up?  And, how often does this inner negativity radiate outward to your family, friends, or the greater community?  I don't know about you, but I've even caught myself having arguments in my head with people I don't even know!

World peace begins with inner peace.  When our thoughts reflect self-hatred (and many of them do), we can't help but bring this pain to others.  After all, our thoughts become feelings, our feelings fuel our actions, and our actions either hurt or they heal. 

FINALLY FOUND MY WAY BACK IN HERE!

Hello and good morning all

"To the attentive eye,

each moment of the year

has its own beauty..."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am trying to find beauty in each day...somedays that is hard to do...but in time it will be there in my eyes again...

Our greatest glory is not

in never falling.

but in rising everytime

we fall.

~Confucius~

This morning is hard...not sure why ...but sleep last night...not sure if I did much of that.  so I sit with a coffee...making a list...these days list are very important to me...great mind just little forgetful these day.  It grey out this am...rained big time last night...but I will gather myself and dogs and head out for my morning walk soon. 

I am trying the best I can to try to move ahead with looking after me...I have to learn to make myself a priority...if I would of years ago..maybe I would not be where I am today.  But I must look at the past and say good bye to it na d work on living now for me and my loved ones.

we with that said guess I better get ready to walk
