So I started this blog so that I could try to have better days. I must say it is really working! At the end of each day, as I reflect on the good, the bad, and the busy, I am able to pull out some really good moments! It is so nice to go to bed happy and thinking happy thoughts! I don't dread the happenings of the next day, and I am able to be grateful for the goodness each day gives me. And so, I give you today's happy moments....
Happy moment 1: losing weight at Weight Watchers...always a good feeling to hop on that scale and watch it go DOWN! I have been fighting so dang hard to lose every pound this time. I gained 70 pounds with my pregnancy with Connor, mostly because I was on such HIGH doses of prednisone the whole time to keep my RA steady and keep little Boo Boo alive. I have never had such a hard time losing weight (I know that is due to my aging body as well lol) so every OUNCE that is gone is such a happy accomplishment for me!
Happy moment two: Family dinner tonight was so nice. I love sitting at the dinner table with my family and watch them enjoy the meal that I have prepared for them. There is something so heartwarming about watching Connor "mmmm" after each bite and have Joel negotiate how many baked beans he has to eat before he gets a cookie....he ate every last bean by the way! I love going around the table and asking David and Joel what their favorite part of the day is (for Joel it was visiting Grandad at the new range and shooting his automatic airsoft) I love being able to take the time to sit back and breathe after a long day of rushing around. Family dinner, it's the happy moment that fills your happy tanks to the top!
And so another night is coming to a close. As I sit here thinking positive thoughts and waiting for my bone stimulator to turn off (grow bone grow!) I wish you all a happy night....for me it certainly is now!
