Well, I am back from the missions dinner engagement that I had this evening. It was nice. Typical potluck foods, though with a few exceptions. Since I couldn't eat completely healthy, I ate a little bit of many things. The main meat was ham (which I don't eat). There weren't many vegetables-- with the exception of potatoes (of every imaginable kind), corn and green beans. Several casseroles too (...imagine that!). There was actually a nice spring mix salad with grapes, apples, toasted almonds & raspberry-vinegrette dressing. It was yummy! Whoever brought it didn't make a very large bowl full, so I only had a small amount. If they had brought more, I would have dined on that alone! It was great! I may try to make that next week! Of course, the dessert table was overflowing ! Coconut cakes, jello desserts, etc. etc.! Someone brought a fruit salad that was nice. Amazingly, there wasn't anything chocolate there. That is odd.

We aren't going out to eat tomorrow after church-- I made up a nice big bowl of salad last night so I will probably eat that with some grilled chicken or something on it. Haven't decided just yet.

For some reason I am really sore tonight. I don't know if I strained something today or what. My shoulders, lowerback and hips are painful. Going to take some meds and lay down and watch TV. Relax and see if that helps. I have been going non-stop all day. Probably done too much.

Where is everyone today? Probably busy doing stuff, huh? Hope everyone is well and wonderful. Take care and don't forget to tell your loved ones how much you love them.

"See" you all tomorrow--

P.S. Boston, you must have been posting when I was. Glad you got to spend time with your brother today & were able to share what you no longer needed with others. You never know how much that might fulfil a person's need. I will say a special prayer for you and your husband, Boston. I know what you mean about a void. It is real and it does hurt. image HUGS and Goodnight sweetie.

imageToday I will thank God for the many blessings that he has given me, instead of griping and complaining about things I cannot change or control; keeping in mind it ALL could be GONE in the blink of an eye. image Today I will do my best to focus on today and the tasks at hand. image I will not fret about the past, and I will not overwhelm myself with all the "what ifs" that tomorrow may (or may not) hold. image I will choose to have a positive attitude and will seek to make wise decisions for myself and my children and understand that some decisions may not be easy, but are the best for my/our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health and well-being. image I will also remember that taking life "one day at a time" does not ignore tomorrow or avoid setting future goals, but it does not DWELL on the could-a/should-a/would-a's in life. image
