  • 2017-12-03 Sunday Status Update and Reflection

    Some days I feel so positive about my progress and some days I just feel like a follow through failure. Braeaking it all down with statistics helps me realize the reality and take feelings out of the story. These “pulse checks” are therefore very helpful.

    I know.. I know.. How many parts are there to this story? Believe me.. I wish I knew.

  • 2017-11-25 Grateful for the Not So Great

    This past week was supposed to be all about being grateful, which I am. It was supposed to be about giving thanks and acknowledging those people and things in our lives we are fortunate enough to have. I feel like I do that all the time, in a way, so this week was nothing special.…

  • 2017-11-23 An Easy Day Of Thanks

    After yesterday I was thankful I woke up without a headache. After yesterday I was thankful all I had to do today was bake a pie and show up at my sisters house at a certain time. After yesterday I was thankful and grateful and happy to be hanging out on a beautiful day with…
