today is a new day

Ok folks.....today is a new day. Got an exhausted nights sleep. Still woke up early, cause I fell asleep so early, but I got a good night's sleep. Makes a world of difference. I got up and got things done this morning instead of trying to go back to sleep. For me that breeds the "worries" I walked 3 miles this morning. I showered. That was a huge step in the right direction! I groomed myself today. No baseball cap today, baby. I packed my backpack with healthy snacks. I eat a good breakfast.

Then I decided to try on the size 12 capris that my boss had given to me. I think I was really trying to punish myself. I was surprised, they fit! I haven't been able to wear a size 12 since, well hell, I really can't remember when. A very long time. I don't care that they are alittle snug around the middle. They are a size 12!

They were comfortable enough to wear to ride my bike to work this morning. So I did. I was a waving fool this morning. Yep, today is new day!

    I love the "waving fool" word picture! Keep peddling. You inspire me(and also reminded me of MY denim capris).

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...
