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
JI've been on a bit of a roller coaster lately, and while there have been a lot of ups and downs, I am (mostly) enjoying the ride.
To get it out of the way, I will start with the downsides:
I stopped working out for a while.
I just didn't feel like it. So, I didn't. I decided junk tasted a lot better than good stuff, even though it really didn't. So I ate junk, and paid the price.
I have the option of being healthy, and that is the one that makes me feel better.
There were a lot of things I stopped doing because I didn't feel like it.
I basically had an adult sized hissy fit.
Now I am over it, and able to move on. I am back to eating healthy, and exercising. Sometimes you just need to have a good, old-fashioned melt down to move on.
Many of the balls that I am currently juggling are up in the air, and its up to the fates to intervene.
Right now, lots of inertia and indecision.
My son has been recovering from a tonsilectomy that really took a lot out of him. He's on the mend right now, but it was a tough couple of weeks. I didn't want him to be in pain or feel miserable, but he did and I was powerless over it.
On a positive note, I have been incredibly creative, with new tutorials coming! I haven't had this much inspiration in a long time.
I rediscovered how much I like working out and eating healthy.
I have created some great new healthy recipes too.
My garden is blooming.
I have tomatoes,
peppers
and salsa ingredients blossoming.
Little Man mastered a new skill in gymnastics.
He did sparklers on the 4th of July for the first time.
We went to a water park, and instead of just hanging out on the deck chairs, I actually did stuff.
