Gettin’ Grateful-

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 4:03 pm

In the midst of all my busyness, I’ve still had many great things happen this week, and those definitely don’t go unnoticed. I’m grateful for all that happens in my life, even the not so great stuff- (and there’s been a little of that this week as well) because I know it serves a purpose and teaches me something.

SO, with all that in mind, I’ll share just a few of the things that I’m grateful for not only today, but this week.

My Gratitude List for February 12, 2010.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • The beautiful bouquet of roses that Marcel gave me yesterday as an early Valentine’s Day present.
  • Receiving the package of steel-cut oats and Coffee-Mate that mom and dad sent me.
  • Phone calls and notes with my BFF’s.
  • The fact that JJ is much smarter than I ever gave him credit for.
  • Being on the end of a work week and starting the weekend.
  • Snow Days.
  • The fact that there are natural acne treatments out there.
  • Chocolate velvet coffee
  • The new season of Survivor starting again
  • Dinner reservations at one of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants.

Hormonal BreakOut

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 3:55 pm

Well, while I’m on a rambling kick, I may as well talk about this hormonal thing I’ve got going on. I think I mentioned a while back about how I thought I was going through the early stages of menapause, and even though I haven’t mentioned it much as of late, that’s still the case. Luckily for those around me the emotions don’t seem to be as bad, but my face breaks out so bad sometimes that I think I could use a acne solution. Right now is one of those times, and in two days Marcel and I are having dinner at one of Jamie Olivers restaurant for Valentine’s Day. I hope the make up will cover it- especially since I wanted to take a picture of the two of us together.

Does anyone else around my age have these break out issues?

Rambles on Aging

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 3:51 pm

I can tell that it has been a long few weeks for me, because now that I am actually having the extra time to sit and write, all I tend to do is ramble about this, that or the other. This week has been stressful in more than one way, and I’m happy to see that it has ended. I think the stress has taken a toll though, because after looking in the mirror tonight, I told Marcel I could use an anti aging product. He laughed and said if anyone doesn’t look their age it’s me, and while he could be right- lately I feel as though I’m starting to age. I know, it’s better than not having the opportunity to age at all, but I guess a part of me thought that I was timeless. Obviously I was wrong. A friend of mine says she fights aging with getting a chemical peel every now and then, but I just don’t think I can take that route. What about you?

Kick Starting

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 3:46 pm

Things have been so hectic the past couple of weeks that I really haven’t been updating the way that I’d like, or also the way that I really need to do. I’ve still been struggling to find the motivation to ‘just do it’, and have been reading articles and information about things such as hgh pills and many other forms of weight loss tools. I am still convinced that the way I’ve lost all the weight to date is the only way to go, at least for me, but others may think differently.
