The Sun is Shining
It’s actually shining outside too, but I was referring inside my soul the sun is shining. It feels wonderful and warm. Today is a much better day today than yesterday. After I posted my confession that I just wasn’t coping very well, I started pulling it together. Sometimes all it takes is owning it. Other times, it is the meaningful words of people who truly care and understand. Be careful folks what you say to others because words have way more power than you ever think!! Both good and bad!
I had my weight watchers meeting. I had a horrible, crappy week. I figured that I would probably see my second consecutive gain. I actually did very well yesterday after visiting here for some time in the morning. We all know that behaving ONE day doesn’t really undo the harm of an entire week. I went to the meeting anyway because I needed it. To my great suprise, I lost two pounds. Small blessings. I’ll take them.
All the same stresses are still there. I still don’t know how we are going to handle the next couple of months. One thing I do know though, worrying doesn’t do anything. I’ll handle whatever I have to as it comes. It is all I can do. I’ll be able to handle it better though, if I take the time to take care of myself.. physically and mentally. Hope you all have a great evening. I meant to get this posted this morning, but the day ran away from me.

Glad you are feeling better and happy for your 2 pound loss!
Sorry about your stresses. Im a worrier…a stresser, but trying hard not to. One day at a time
I agree about words being a powerful thing. We never know how our kind or negative words will effect another. We should be honest and careful.
Great job on the loss and seeing the sunshine. I got my act back together too. Thanks for being a great friend!
Ohhhhhhh BeeBee, I’m so glad I took the time to log on here this afternoon. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss reading this blog for the world. I’m so happy to see you coming around and not letting these things take it’s toll on you. I know it’s tough. And you’re right. worrying doesn’t help. I’m glad you’re taking in one day at a time.
Huggggggggggggggs,
Shan
*running back to see what I said to you yesterday*
Does that count as exercise? lol
Hey BeeBee, congrats on the sunshine! Light is a good thing, huh? I love what you said about taking care of yourself. This is a wonderfully inspiring blog for me. I have been all over the place with my food lately and this helps remind me to be gentle with myself.
hugs,

I will always believe this blogging is good for the soul, not only getting it out, but the feedback we get. So glad you feel better, and I sure needed the reminder to not worry.
I don’t know what is going on in your life, but judging from your blog, you and I are probably going through some very similar feelings—the situations may be a bit different, but overall it seems like we have uncertainty and worry in our minds these days!! I agree with you wholeheartedly!! Sometimes, the best thing is not to worry because worry itself is not going to solve a thing!! I had the same talk with myself about two weeks ago…I was under a lot of stress—the circumstances for which I was stressed have not changed, but my attitude has and it’s made a huge difference. Sounds like you are doing the same…of course, we both know that telling ourselves not too worry is one thing, putting that into action, quite another!
I am glad that you lost 2 lbs. Doing the happy dance for you!! Woohoo!! I think that’s pretty awesome!!
Here’s the thing about weightwatchers, that you just reminded me of….the whole I did good or bad thing—argh!! Makes my skin crawl!! There is no good or bad, there’s only better—better choices, sometimes we make better choices, sometimes not, but as long as we keep putting one foot infront of the other, we will be ok. I am not knocking WW, God knows that I am one of its biggest supporters, WW actually works!! After three years I realized it wasn’t for me, but I always tell people that it might be for them!! I still put into practice many of the principles I learned while on WW!
Now keep on keeping on and may the sun continue to shine in your heart and soul!!
