When All Else Fails- Be Grateful

Filed under: Gratitude,Life,Memories — gardener @ 12:28 pm

Last night I had a mini- (ok not so mini) meltdown. It came late, at 12:30 at night, but I guess those kind of things don’t really have a schedule, they just come and go when they please. It wasn’t pretty, and I’d like to say that I woke up this morning feeling like a million bucks, but I’d be lying to you, and to myself.

I’m not being negative, but I’m greiving and these things take time. I can’t apologize for it, because it just is what it is.

What I can do, is take a little time to be grateful for the things in my life today and share them with you. Maybe it will inspire you in the midst of your own life to take a moment, pause and just be grateful.

My Gratitude List for March 16, 2010

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • Bobbi joining us today at Bible Study and having some time to chat with her and catch up in the train.
  • Sunshine and warmer temperatures.
  • Going for an after dinner walk with JJ and Marcel in the sunshine.
  • A light workload.
  • Illy Coffee with Vanilla Coffee-Mate

Fallen In A Rabbit Hole

Filed under: Life,Memories — gardener @ 12:23 pm

This morning I woke up after a really bad night and almost wished I was like Alice and had fallen into a hole and woke up somewhere like Wonderland. After all, any place with disappearing cats that smile can’t be all bad right?

I’m doing a lot of going through the motions, and attempting to keep my head filled with so many random thoughts that I don’t have time to think about what really is happening deep within the recesses of my mind. The painful things. I know I need to, but right now I just can’t. I saw that last night. What I am finding out is that when I keep my mind busy like this that it is like taking diet supplements, because I tend to have to remind myself to eat at the proper times when I know I should be eating. I’ve also started back on the elliptical, which has done wonders with the anxiety I’ve been feeling. I just hope that some of this will begin to hurt a little less soon and that I won’t keep asking myself, what if?

Browser Wowser

I was curious what web browser most of you use? Currently, even though at this particular second I’m using IE, I have to say that my favorite is Safari, and since I can’t say that I’ve ever really used Firefox, I don’t have much of an opinion on it. I often wonder what other people use, and why, so inquiring minds want to know: What’s Your Favorite Browser and Why?

Then and Now- The Lightbulb Moment

Filed under: Food,Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 12:15 pm

For people who know me, this will not come as much of a surprise, but I actually spend a lot of time thinking about health, weight loss, fitness and doing the best for my body. There was a time when I was looking for a quick fix and if that meant thermogenic fat burner then that’s what it meant, but somewhere along the way, I had one of those lightbulb moments that Oprah talks about so often and I realized that it wasn’t the way to go.

There’s a story inside of me, and it wants to come out. I share bits and pieces here and there, but there’s so much more. I’ve only scratched the surface. What makes me different than anayone else? Not a thing. I’m human and have struggles just like the rest of us, but sometimes we have those lightbulb moments and we change the way we think.

What was your lightbulb moment?

Been Thinking- Scary I know

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 12:10 pm

A few days ago I talked about how all calories aren’t created equal and I actually mentioned that I may start sharing a few of the things that I’ve learned (and continue to learn) on this little journey of mine to better health and a fitter, stronger body. I’ve actually considered whipping up a blog that will be dedicated to that sort of thing, but then when I think about it I have to ask myself how I’d keep up with yet another blog. It isn’t like I don’t have my hands full all ready and I have plans with these that I haven’t yet implemented.

What I’d like to know, is who would be interested in this sort of thing. I would discuss things like colonix reviews and whether they actually help people, and things such as vitamins, nutrients, exercises and the list goes on. Oh, and let’s not forget food, lots of food and recipes.

Need a New Look

Filed under: Life,Techy,Things I Love — gardener @ 12:07 pm

You know, as much as I think this layout is adorable, and as much as I love the way it looks, I’ve been using it for a year now (hard to believe I’ve been here at my own house for a year) and I think it’s time for something new. I wish I had time to play with the CSS, HTML and the Photoshop in order to decorate all my homes (plus the one that still needs to be developed) but I just don’t have time.

If you know anyone who does a great job and can give me what I want for a decent price, please have them drop me a line here, because I really need something fresh, new and exciting. I have a few ideas, but need someone else to make the vision come to life.

Dismissed Headaches and Hormones

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 12:04 pm

I was so happy that I finally got rid of my headache and that I was feeling better headache wise by the end of the day yesterday. Today it did appear for a little while, but it wasn’t long and it was gone again. I can’t tell you how grateful I am about that.

Oh and in somewhat unrelated news: Do you remember me talking about that I’d started using a acne cream treatment to help me with these little break outs I’ve been having? Well it helped, until that monthly time rolled around and right now I have the break out to end all break outs, so I have to go back to my original assumption that it’s all hormonal.

Anyone else besides me having this problem? Tell me I’m not alone.
