A new me.

Hi I'm Martha-Ann.
I WILL endeavour to reach the goal I've set myself.
I CAN do it.
I want to be healthier and eat better.
I've had (still have) a few health problems but I've beaten cancer and now I'm just getting on with life.

I love SparkPeople.
It has everything I could ask for.
Good advice, great ideas but most of all friendship.
The people I've met through this site are wonderful and are helping me towards a better, healthier way ...

THANKYOU.

This is a Sanskrit proverb by the fifth century poet Kalidasa, it seems to sum things up perfectly.

Salutation to the Dawn.

Listen to the salutation of the dawn!
Look to this day,
For it is life,
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and verities of existence.

The bliss of growth,
The splendour of action,
The glory of power...

For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.
Such is the salutation of the dawn!

My Goals:
I want to feel more confident about myself.

I want to work on small goals of 10lbs and give myself a reward everytime I hit one.






My Program:
Exercising, going for long walks, gardening.

Cutting down on calories, eating more healthily.



Personal Information:
I'm from Yorkshire, England...we call it 'God's Own Country'.

I live in a small village in the country but am only a few miles from the sea so I have the best of both worlds.

I'm 64 years young.

A daughter, wife, mother, grandma, niece, cousin, aunt and great aunt.




Other Information:
My hobbies are very varied, everything from puzzles to zentangles, reading to gardening, walking to birdwatching, writing to photography.
I love language too, the nuances and foibles, so I enjoy dabbling with writing and poetry...my son once called me a wordsmith...I wish I lived up to it!

Sorry to hear about your kidney infection and now that back aches that you are having. My daughter has had problems with kidney stones - especially when she was pregnant. But I nave not had any problems with my back - so far. Just pray you are feeling better and getting some relief.

And congratulations on that grand-baby that is on its way. How very exciting - and you were able to see some of the first pictures. How very exciting!! What a day it will be when he or she arrives and you can hold him!! FUN!! FUN!!

We are on the chilly side here - overcast with occasional sprinkles. I have been so in the mood to walk outside, but it is just a bit too breezy. So will just do my "walking" inside for now. Have done a bit of weeding, but that wind just drives me back inside.

Hope you are feeling better soon!!
Hugs,
barb

Just stopped by to wish you a very Happy Easter. We had a beautiful service this morning with a brunch during our regular Sunday School time. It was so good.

Am just now fixing lunch for Geoff and me - fish and rice and Angel food cake with strawberries for dessert. We do not have strawberries very often because if Geoff eats them more than one day, he ends up with a migraine. So I told him he will have to take advantage of them today - because there will not be any more tomorrow.

Not sure what I will do this afternoon - perhaps a walk - it is beautiful and sunny. And will be knitting more.
