Christmas

 I noticed the trend is to get expensive gifts like jewelry, cars, and Iphones or Ipads. Can they really make people happy?  The answer is no!  These are just temporary things but the real joy comes from inside out. The love for each other!
I miss the essence of what Christmas was. I remember making homemade things and it coming from the heart v. the store.
I also see people rushing around getting angry and impatient trying to get that gift. What happened to the Christmas spirit? Sadly it is gone!


I would love to see more joy and compassion and helping one another during this season and all year round!
God Bless the military for fighting  for freedom in far away places! Thank you for your sacrifice and time away that you have to spend away from your loved ones! Hope in time that you can be home to celebrate instead of fighting wars.

Finished Strong

I finished my Weight Management Class strong! Did I get a 100 on every exam no, I got the 90's.  This was a good lesson for me to accept that I will not always get 100's but I can celebrate these grades! I learned a lot in this class, and I can use the tools like getting more physically fit and eating the right things.  I got through this with very little trigger, and if there was a small trigger I dealt with it by talking to Miriam instead of it letting it get to me. 


I am glad that I could end this class on a strong note and meet some nice people in the class too and retain a good student-teacher relationship with Paul, my instructor!
