One more day cola free. I know this is probably lame in the eyes of many, but it has been a ridiculous challenge for me. I have found in my life that when I can get control of one of my physical appetites, it helps me get control of many other aspects, one at a time. One more step in my long, slow climb up a ladder I want to get higher on, to see further.
How one keeps promises, covenants and commitments in this life is important. Are they going to be just kept or are they going to be KEPT as well as a person can, with consistency. Is there going to be direction or wandering to and fro? Will they be kept with joy or reluctance? Questions to be asked of oneself and answered, with the right help and understanding, from Him who can answer them best.
The last couple of days haven't been too "productive" as Lincoln has been staying here to keep his mucky eyes and nose from spreading any further in the family. Not much in the house but what a sweet time with my third little buddy. It feels good that he will reach for me for comfort and just expect me to be there. Sometimes being taken for granted is OK.
Linc is such a funny little kid. Personality just bubbles out of him, even sick. Just wish it didn't take two full grown adults about ten minutes to put those blasted drops in his squinched little eyes! I have also realized that he is a little nest builder. Funny little guy has his hands and arms full at all times and likes to place everything carefully around him every time he sits down. Such a funny kid.
I'm pretty proud of the bigger boys, they are settling for just a cook out for lunch tomorrow instead of their sleepovers, even though Linc is over here. Getting ready will keep me busy in the morning!!

Well I'm proud of you! I know it is hard...and though I only rarely have a soda, I know there are other things I struggle with. Hang in there and keep up the good work.
Oh, and do we have Family dinner tomorrow? Give me a call and let me know!
