Good Things to Come

I got some disappointing news yesterday. My friend that said she would help me get a car now says she won't. I took the news well. This is what happens sometimes. My feelings were hurt more than anything. I thought they loved me and I felt like I was a member of their family. I guess I was wrong. Riding in the summer heat is nothing compared to having your heart broke. I have cried and cried over this. However, I have not eaten over this. I have decided to put a positive spin on it. I will survive. I will do something totally new to me. I will save money for a car. Go figure. It will be a good lesson. Now mine you, I will probably bitch and moan. And yes, you will probably be the ones that I bitch and moan to. Spoiler Alert for the next year. I just can't see paying the kind of interest I would have to pay.

As a gift, a Loving Heavenly Father prompted me to this video this morning. I will not quit! I will not give up! I know that there is help and happiness ahead! I know there are Good Things to Come.

Keep the mood and the food real......if you look you will see those good times.

    Dana, I am so sorry that this fell through. I wouldn't equate it to not being loved, however. People have their own reasons for doing things and most of them aren't personal. I'm not trying to minimize what you are feeling - it must just suck - but feel bad about the car, not yourself, okay?

    Not eating over this is huge! Way to be strong. Together we will continue to think good thoughts on the whole car situation.

    Big hugs to you, Dana. I am so sorry you are going through this. Not paying heavy interest is a good thing, though tough right now.

    That sucks!!! But as Roxie says just be upset about the car, maybe they had reasons they couldn't do it??
    You'll be on top of the world when you own one after saving for it. In fact i may just have to come for a ride :)

    I went for a walk and came up with the same conclusion Roxie did. I am taking this too personally. I had great things that happened yesterday too. I will focus on that. I really let my feelings control me.

    Feeling better.

    That sucks. However, I agree that there may be reasons that they couldn't that were too embarrassing to share.

    Sorry! :)

    Sorry to hear that the car thing! But I would not take it personally - I am glad that you didn't eat your feelings - great job on that front!

    That sucks, Dana, and it's hard not to take it personally...but you never know what they are dealing with. I really hope a car drops in your lap soon - in the meantime, whine away - you are certainly entitled with the heat you have to deal with on your biking everywhere!

    Nice, nice job not eating over this. I do declare that you've turned a corner in this whole "food" thing! :)

    Yes, I agree with Roxie. It's not about them not loving you. You have always said that you feel part of the family so you must know that they feel that way too. They must have their reasons. (((HUGS)))

    Pats on the back, Dana, for not taking it out on food!
    Stuff always sorts itself out. Sometimes (well alot, really) not in the timeframe we want it to.

    Hang in there, Poopsie! ♡

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...
