Halfway Point

Another Wednesday and we're at the halfway point of Lent.  It takes weeks to develop new habits.  I think it takes even longer to break old habits!  I want to take this time to see how I'm doing on my H Goals : Health Happiness and Heaven.

I feel healthier.  My ankle and feet are improving. I've been able to workout longer, I even jogged a little. I still weigh the same, hovering around 200 pounds.  I know that I'm not as strict with eating healthy as I could be, so I have to be comfortable with the slow progress.  Goal: Continue to work out and eat clean!

The weather has been nicer so my happiness always increases with the sunshine.  I've been working on listening to others and continue with the Best Lent Ever:  Resisting Happiness program.  When I focus on God and others, my issues are less, and I am happier.  Goal:  Continue to think about others!

I've really been trying to listen to what God needs me to hear.  I spend more time in prayer or meditation - quiet time reading or listening to music.  I've also learned new ways for prayer.  That's always good!  Goal:  Remember to pray and to thank God everyday!

So, I've changed in some ways and struggle in others.  I'm a work in progress and worth it!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
