Rome may not have been built in a day, but Egypt was! We built the set for Vacation Bible School yesterday, and it was exciting. I like the fact that its done, and am looking forward to it next week-no matter how few kids we get.
Today is the parish picnic and worship in the park. Little Man wants to go to Wild Water West. I'm willing to go to make him happy, but I am still not overly excited. I think its the fact that it would be just the two of us. However, I am all about making the little man happy.
Take yesterday, for example. He wanted Hot Wheels cars, and we had to go to Target to finish school supply shopping. I really didn't feel like going, but I did and he wound up with 3 new cars and some new workbooks and flash cards. I am such a sucker. I can't complain really.
I really need to get on the treadmill. I am so tired of being fat, and the basic thing is if I continue on like this I won't be continuing on forever. Some day I will hit that proverbial wall and no one will be happy. I got a good look in the mirror at myself the other day, and it just made me sad that I have let myself go so much. The really sad part is the fact that I actually like eating healthy (yes, I love healthy foods-fruits, veggies, everything) I also love working out-yes I love how it makes me feel, I love the endorphin rush that I get from it. But there's some sort of invisible wall that I bump into time and time again, and I don't do it. Its frustrating to me, and I feel like I am teetering on the edge-either I do something about my health, and make it a firm commitment; or I do nothing and continue on this march towards unhealthiness.
I can't expect anyone to cheer me on either. I just have to do this on my own and be strong about.
I need to just focus on whether this food is going to bring me joy, peace or serenity. Is it part of my overall plan? Like the fact that it may bring me momentary joy, but is it going to bring me long term bliss?
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
