I have an addendum to my earlier post. The pick up has a blown head gasket (very bad news), a tow truck has been called. All the moving boxes have been loaded into my husband’s truck and they (and my son) have been delivered to the new home. Luckily, my DIL was there unpacking what she had brought in her car so my son has a way back to Killeen…[Read more]

I tried to take a nap today. Twice. And someone called me both times. So I decided that I was going to go to bed early. And the truck that my son borrowed from his father in law to move broke down on the interstate. So my husband has gone to help my son and I’m on stand by incase they need me to bring more tools, etc, out to them. I don’t think…[Read more]

I did this… and may add to it over time.  I find it hard to look at and recognize the good about myself!

List is started. Not always easy for me to see the good in myself, but it’s getting easier.

Out and about in Cranberry today..  pretty day in between rain showers. These flowers caught my eye..  they look so sad!!

It was a short walk due to the humidity but a walk all the same! The crepe myrtles are in bloom and we’re not quite far enough into the summer that everything has turned brown from the heat! It’s all very green here at the moment! <!–more–>

Long hot shower with my favorite moisturizing body wash and favorite bath powder afterwards. Now to bed on freshly washed sheets!

<span style=”-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);”>So..  nice long bath..   but I turn the jets on for a few minutes and close my eyes. When I open them I realized I had put way too much bubble bath into use the Jets! </span>

I have a magnetic white board on my fridge,  I have put my affirmation on it.. “I am worth it!”

i will add others as time time goes by!!

Travel! I’d love to spend our retirement traveling with my husband. I’d like to visit all 50 states and Canada (already been to Mexico)

Affirmations all over my house. Three in the kitchen, one on each of the two bathroom mirrors, three on the treadmill and one on the door I go in and out of the most.

Kathy, I had forgotten about dry erase markers on the mirrors! That’s how I used to leave notes to my children. I’ll be leaving notes again, this time to myself!

Oh, I forgot…[Read more]

Vegged on Netflix today..  very relaxing!

I spent a very pleasant couple of hours doing nothing but reading a book. It’s been a long time since I have had that much time to just sit and read!

I had a fabulous lunch!!  Goulash!  Healthy (used whole wheat pasta) and soooo yummy!  My family hates it so I only get it once in a while!   Dinner will be ground beef pot pie!

Meal planning and prepping ahead of time! It takes the guess work out of my meals and I will actually eat real food instead of shakes or bars. I feel better physically and mentally when I do this. However, most of the time, I don’t do it, even knowing this. Probably because I have spent so many years skimping on my meals so that my husband and…[Read more]

I’m making some homemade chicken salad. It’s one of my favorite meals. After one of Nikki’s cooking demos, I started using plain Greek yogurt for part of the dressing and my hubby flipped over it and now requests it!

Would  you please post the recipe in the recipe exchange forum?!

Recipe, please! There’s a forum that you can post it in.
