Life is good September 4, 2009

We are just a few days away from the last holiday of the summer. A nice well deserved weekend filled with barbecues, swimming and good times.

Most of the activities begin with “FOOD.” That’s okay, we’re not dieting, we’re eating healthy. There’s nothing we can’t eat. We have learned to eat it and not hoard it. If you want ribs, eat them, an order of ribs, not a rack of ribs. Or who’s to say that we can’t serve a menu different from the norm. Turkey burgers seasoned with herbs, a rotisserie turkey breast are just nas good. Grilled carrots -oh so naturally sweet.

Our success has been a long journey filled with success laced with some slips and bumps in the road. One weekend, one date is not so important that its worth turning in reverse and feeling like a recovering alcoholic the day after they have “just one drink” with friends.

Let’s Think about our many successes. For me, to walk stairs without standing at the top and waiting before I enter a door because I didn’t want others to know how out of shape I was.  I’m proud that I can walk the journey from car to the front door of the building when I deliver contracts to the HUD office. I’m proud that I actually walk up and down the stairs in my own home instead of waiting for someone else to come and retrieve whatever I want from downstairs.

All of us have our small successes that are quite big in that our lives have completely changed for the better. These triumps helped us “live” our lives rather than just be alive.  

Cakes, pies, casseroles, cookies all taste good.

Food is good but Life is better!!!!! Choose Life!
