2011--It starts tomorrow and I am ready for it. I want each day to be a positive one and it is my job to make it so. I am at my lifetime high in weight and nightly wine is not a good habit--so those to areas are top priority to change. I have signed up for 2 art classes and am ready to get back to art. Family and friends are always at the top of the list--and so off to a more purposeful 2011 am I. Tonight a small party here to celebrate New Year's Eve and then tomorrow--a new year. Wow--I am excited. Here it is the Spring of 2010 and I am back--yea life--so much to be thankful for--and we are about to move to our new cluster home as soon as it is finished. As usual, I fight the weight loss fight, love my family, my art, my French, seek my spiritual center, usually with difficulty, and say thank you to God for friends whom I love, the most dear grandchildren ever and to my husband for putting up with all my worries as we build this house--he is my brick.
Happy New Year--can it be 2009? As I happily enter this new year, I look forward to using my journal for weight monitoring, art, spiritual quest,friendship discovery, French immersion and love of family. So I shall work on my resolutions for the upcoming year and hope to make progress on my life journey.
"I am centered and connected to my inner spirit. I am blessed." I must focus on getting my weight back down--this holiday season has challenged me and I am ready to get to work.
Happy 2006--Here it is October and I am writing a word or 2--still at 133, though earlier had been down to 129--it's time to renew the weight plan and keep on art and spirit.
2005--I made some real strides this year--made my daily prayer time more meaningful and an inherent part of each day. Lost 14 pounds down to 129--and then following a 3 week trip to Greece and parties October thru yearend--sigh--I gained back to 139. January 1--tomorrow marks the renewal of that effort. I did some nice painting, but no where near enough. So here we go again, weight to 125, spiritual growth and giving and paint. Peace and Love--how lucky I am.
2004-- I am grateful to be here and look forward to making this a year of joy and hope.Well, many things have changed with the help of this journal and I am ready to take on another challenge!
In 2003 I made some real strides in painting, but have been on again off again this year. Also had a good improvement in weight, only to have it re-up during the holiday months. Reading, spiritual development and of course, living the French life in America are all still on the list. Since, I really need to restructure the site by year, for now I will start the year in Winter-2004, and do some consolidation when I have a bit of time. So that's the link to get me on my way to a glorious new year.
