A Good, Though Small Beginning


Getting sick for the holidays seems to be either a bad habit or a crummy tradition that I would like to leave behind me. This year, it did have an up side, however. I lost a couple of pounds before Christmas, and this morning, I had lost a little more. I doubt that anyone even notices the little ticker down in my right hand column, but I am finally able to drop the number on it.

The only resolution that I ever seem to make, is to become a better me, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and of course physically. It often seems to start with the physical side.
I have found that when the physical appetites are conquered, it becomes easier to "conquer" or rather develop the other facets of oneself.

So here is to the New Year . . . and may it be a good one, in all the ways that we wish. May focus become a characteristic that is consistent, and may a loving Heavenly Father be sought when our own strength isn't enough. I know that He is eagerly waiting to hear from and strengthen us in all worthy endeavors that we seek.

Not a recommended weight loss program I am guessing. Hope you are feeling better! Here's to a GREAT 2010!

Glad your up and feeling better...don't you just hate being sick during the holidays. I pray so hard throughout the season that I don't get sick. I push myself think, "I have got to get that done now because what if I get sick?" I usually get sick in January when it's all over. Teele says it's because I push too hard then I crash...He's probably right.
I hope ALL of us have a wonderful new year! We deserve it don't you think?

That is the resolution I make as well, and I am still not sure of which thing to start with...so many things! I can't do it all and it seems it is never done!
I love your last paragraph, so inspiring. I am going to copy that!
