The time has come for me to stop saying so much negative things to myself. I would not say to my best friend "you are such a loser" NO I would build her up I would exhort her positive ways , I would compliment her on her many accomplishments. So I am going to start listing the things that I did positive for each day. Things that I did for me and for others, things that make my life better wheather it is good for weight loss or not. For instance, I walked 4 miles today. I went early this morning and walked and then when dh came home he wanted to go for a walk and I went with him. I had a nice time we talked and laughed and held hands and watched for deer tracks. The first time was nice.; I prayed a lot while I walked and sung songs of praise to God, I loved this special time that I worshipped in the fresh air with no telephone and I was out of the house so I was not thinking that I need to start laundry or dishes or anything else.. The 2nd time I walked with dh and that was very nice also. It was a special time with him and I thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time with him.
Since this is the south and when the weather turns bad we might lose electricity, so I spent a good deal of time cooking some foods that can be warmed up on the camping gas grill. We have enough food to last for several day if worse comes to worse and even if it does not get that bad I won't have to cook until maybe Wed. or thursday. I was very industrius today. Also since dh and I have lived through this many times before we knew we needed to cook enough food to take care of dd her husband and their baby. They only have a couple of blankets so if the electricity does go off they will show up here and I have many -many blankets and the gas grill (we know not to use it in tight confines and not to use it except for short periods of time) and we have lots of food. And the means to cook more if it is needed.
Myheart hurts for the people that was in the supermarket when the shooter came in. Oh and the people decapitated in mexico. I am telling you people are getting desparate and that desparation is causing them to do horrible things. The world is getting worse and worse. My hope is in the Lord. My life I give to Him, He said He would carry me on wings of eagles and I trust that He will not let me go.
Sleep well everyone
Have a great Sunday
God bless

this post made me, smile, Joy. i know we're all imperfect and have bad days and yadayada, and we need to know our faults and pray for help and change them, BUT i believe that every day you live there is something positive about your life! and we can thank God for it. let's celebrate those good things that keep us going. i look forward to reading about your reflection on them here! i know when i start thinking about the bad, it becomes- why think about the good? and that turns into, what's good?
ReplyDeletei am so glad you and your husband spend quality time together. just reading about you holding hands and going on walks makes me happy.
tried to go to wal mart earlier today, but it was way too packed. people are talking about cooking so it will last for days in case the lights go out. i'm excited for snow days this year!
ps- way to go on the four-mile walk! especially in the cold! GO YOU!
i love you and am praying for you, dear!
4 miles! That is a huge accomplishment! You are right to think positive things about yourself. I can tell by reading your blog posts that you are a positive person about everything else in your life and all the people you love. It's okay to love yourself too!
