Good evening. Saturday blog. Oh well, you should all know by now that I have signed my book contract. What started 2 years ago has become a reality. I do need to correct on my last blog. I said we had Easter at my sisters in 2018. We had Easter on Butler St. before moving out. I did not start writing until 2019. I think about putting my blogs in a book. Working hard on change in your life is inspiring to others. Giving God all of the glory, waiting on Him. For me, if there were spotlights on shows, before and after weight loss, my very favorite. Maintaining balance and healthy choices, I love to hear about. Hearing about the glory of God and what a change He can bring in your life. That is how we learn. We are never to old to learn. Old dogs can learn new tricks! I was an excuse maker. Blaming others for my problems. I’m far from perfect, but I think like an adult now instead of a selfish child. It’s not pretty to see an adult act like that. I am not afraid to say, if you want change, you are the only one that can do it. When I learned that, it was like waking up from a long sleep. At 234 lbs. and I am short, I could only do a few steps at a time, huffing and puffing. I was only in my 50’s. I did not grow up heavy. I would lose weight for special occasions, gain it back and then some. I would start walking and if there was a set back, I just did not do it. Walking for me now, is like breathing. I have to have it. My grief levels still come and go, up and down. I am at home in my own skin. I still cannot read my own poems without crying. They are tears of joy and thanksgiving, that Denny and I made it through that pain and suffering. Mental illness is no picnic. Husband and wife both being bipolar! Thank God for Drs. and medicine. Talk about it. Awareness, more awareness is what we need! Be kind and loving always. No one ever really knows our struggles! If you are breathing, you still have time! It’s never to late to strive for a better world, even with COVID. God is in control. Give Him the glory! God is good! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
