What kind of world do you want?

Got a great night's sleep. Headache gone this morning. Go me!! I rode the bike to work this morning after I did my walk. I have been walking probably alittle less then 3 miles so I can make it to work on time riding the bike.

This morning I was just crazy ass happy. ( Karen's term ) I was listening to Five for Fighting. The song World. "Be careful what you wish for, HISTORY starts now". What kind of World do you want! Pick Anything! Build a masterpiece! Loved it!

So I decided that I would wave and say hi to everyone I saw on my ride to work. I go thru kind of not so good neighborhoods. I did just that ! I waved at every car. Said hello to every sad looking teenager "drudging" to school. Waved at city buses and school buses. I got lots of waves back. I surprised alot of peeople and I loved getting the smiles back in return. Even from gangster looking kids.....lol.

Food good, water fair, mood JOYFUL!

Keep the mood and the food real! Build a Masterpiece!

    Hi! I really enjoyed reading your blog. I, too am fighting the fight of fat and am blogging about my journey! I have lost 21.75 pounds and want to lose another 190.25 pounds! A long hard battle, I know! I hope to get encouragement from following your blog.

    Even though people probably thought you had lost it, if waving to eveyone helped you...why not?

    Every now an then I will have a day when I am just cheesin' happy. Every where I go I will be grinning my butt off. And it is contagious. I know some wondered if I was high, but they still smiled.

    Wish I had more days like that.

    I just feel happy for you Dana. I love that you're riding your bike to work and loving it. When I started walking my favorite road I hung my head and hoped no one noticed me. I soon started waving to all the cars and people and before I knew it people started waving and stopping to tell me how great I looked. Giving definitely turns into getting. You just sound like you're so happy right now. I can feeling it rubbing off on me *smile*. *big hugs*

    Way to go on all of it. Especially your good attitude. You waving reminds me of the car game my nieces used to play - sweet or sour. Every once in a while when I wave back at a kid, they are excited that I'm "sweet" rather than "sour." :)

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
