Feeling Like a Slacker
At least here. It was been 2 months since I posted a blog although I’ve often written some in my mind. But you can’t read that, can you?
I good friend wrote this in an email I received: (hope it’s not too preachy for some)
‘To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’
When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence.. ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
That really hit home with me. For me it meant that to get back the more fit body I had, I need to be changing some things that I’m doing. And maybe it’s not just with me fitness but in other parts of my life as well.
I’ve slipped this past week because I didn’t put myself on my list. I know that’s probably the catch phrase to start off 2009 (thanks Oprah) but it is true. I was writing out what I had to do one day last week and I came in 3rd or 4th! Groceries and my little part time job were above me. Now of course we have to eat and make money. But if I’m not healthy, those other things may not get done. As the COO of my household, there are just some things the CEO will do only if forced (groceries). (He does work.) So off I go to design my day and the rest of the week. I’m making the effort to put myself on top or at least 2nd.
Have a beautiful day and stay warm!

I feel the same way. I am working on changing things in my life including my body as well as my mothering skillz. What number are you ranking these days??
