I feel like I have forgotten about this blog. Somehow day to day life took over! And the funniest part about that is that I had created this blog to have an outlet to vent, to sort my thoughts, to network. I totally let my reason become my excuses! Eeeek!
So, let's catch up!
Tonight, after my daughter goes to bed, I will spend some time reading everyone's blogs that I have missed out on.
Hmmmm, let's see.... what have I not shared??
Within the past couple of months, our daughter fell and broke her leg. She is only 2 1/2 and has already needed stitches and a cast! Ugh! I hate to think how many more times we will go through something like this with her, if this was just a preview! My husband, for the first time in 6 years, was able to take time off from work around a holiday. We traveled to Illinois to visit his side of the family for Thanksgiving and his birthday. It was so nice to get out of town and have some time to relax! Very appreciative...
The other day, I was having some "look at yourself in the mirror time". A couple of things occured to me:
1) Maybe I haven't changed THAT much on the outside, as I would like to believe. (disappointing) But I am happy to announce that on Saturday, I am going to start a program for 60 DAYS to a 6 PACK! I am so excited and incredibly nervous about this! One, it is to showcase that even on some of the basic, core products that Advocare has to offer, everyone can get amazing results at home, without a gym. I am nervous because I have a tendency to procrastinate and be inconsistent sometimes. I know if I do my part, then the results will be there, though.
2) I feel like I have changed so much in the past 4-6 months on the inside. But I am one of those people who tends to keep things on the inside and bottle up. So, I have no idea if even my husband can see any changes! I really want him to. And I should share more. Because even the thoughts and feelings that are in my heart are different. Actually, that's exactly it! My heart is different. And that is such a good thing that I feel swollen with pride for myself! But, again, I think I am the only one who sees it and knows it. And I have no idea how to change that circumstance.
3) My final thought. For years I have felt like I was just surviving the day to day blues. I mean, I had stuff that I dreamed about for our future, but the future is so far away! I was happy, but not overflowing. For the first time, ever- I think, I looked at myself and the past couple of months and realized Dang! I am enjoying this ride. I am smiling thinking about it right now. Everybody has pivotal moments in their lives. Some you can see when they are coming, and some you realize afterwards. I look back on some extremely important, shaping moments in my life and now realize just how much of a crossroads I was at, and I can hold my head up high and know I made decisions that were right for me and our family. And I am liking looking at myself in the mirror!
HAH! so, there world, now you have been caught up!
