This a Picture of my husband and me on our wedding day. It was December 8th, I shared the same wedding date, not year as my parents.
We were married in the courts. Murray had a friend who was a judge and she married us, she made it so nice for us too.
He died on December 4th 1994, sudden, unexpected. I lost my friend, my soul mate, my husband, the boys father that day. My boys were just one, just 4 and a troubled 13 year old.
We buried him on December 8th, that date would have been my 5th anniversary.
It took God 7 days to make the world, but it took one day to hurt mine

GOOD Day

I didn't write "what I believe" but I wish I did.
I not only want to lose weight, I want to be a better person too.
So that is what I am going to try to do as well.

My goals
~Lose weight
~Stay on the Celiac diet so I feel better and not have attacks
~Manage my fibromyalgia, so I am not in so much pain
~Get my house organized better
~work on getting out of debt
~To be a better person

and I guess to keep up this blog,

I will be starting on Monday!

Good Morning

What I Believe

1. I believe I'm a work in progress and there will always be a gap between who I am and who I want to be.

2. I believe every day brings opportunities to learn and do something meaningful.

3. I believe the true test of my character is whether I do the right thing even when it might cost more than I want to pay.

4. I believe no matter how I behave, some people will be mean-spirited, dishonest, irresponsible, and unkind, but if I fight fire with fire, all I'll end up with are the ashes of my own integrity.

5. I believe life is full of joys and sorrows, and my happiness will depend on how well I handle each.

6. I believe pain is inevitable but suffering is optional, and if I can control my attitudes, I can control my life.

7. I believe kindness matters and snide comments and badly timed criticisms can cause lasting hurt.

8. I believe there's joy in gratitude and freedom in forgiveness, but both require conscientious effort.

9. I believe what is fun or pleasurable is not always good for me and what is good for me is not always fun or pleasurable.

10. I believe no one is happy all the time, but in the end I can be as happy as I'm willing to be.

11. I believe the surest road to happiness is good relationships.

Well Saturday will be the start of a new day. I have to, no I want to get my life in order and all. I feel out of control and it is hard to feel in control when you just don't feel good. My goals for the year is to get my life together and get rid of clutter and pay of some bills and lose weight, but not only lose weight, to live healthier and teach the boys that too. I want the year to end with things I can say I did, not with regret.
