A Positive Attitude

Friday, March 26, 2010

Hi there my friends, I would like to start this off by saying thank you for dropping by.
Lately I have been doing some soul searching and I have come to the conclusion. That the only one that can make positive changes is me. I can do positive talk to myself and I can make the positive changes for my life. Nobody can make these changes for me. It isn't up to my children to make me happy and it isn't the responsibility of a partner or spouse. It is my responsibility. So, the very first step I have taken was joining Spark People in August 2009.
My second step was becoming a Leader. I love being a part of introducing and bringing Information about HERBS, SUPPLEMENTS & VITAMINS as well as what's new and happening in the natural health world to all my team members. This is fulfilling a promise I had made in 2003. And that is another story.
My third step was following through with physical therapy and Massage therapy. And all I needed to do to get me back on my feet and moving again after an accident I encountered in June of last year.
All these steps are positive steps in my life. And I truly believe that positive actions bring positive reactions.
So, I tell all of you reading this. Stay positive with your self talk, and everything you do in your life and it will come back to you many times over. Have a great one may it be night or day.
Hugs to all of you and thank you for stopping by.
EJ

Progress you have to love it!

Well, today I got on the scale to see where I was at. I had good feelings about this weigh in but I was nervous. I went to my closet and I turned on the light then I turn on the scale and stepped on. My scale has to beep before you can steep off. Then is tells you where you are at in pounds.
I heard the beep and I looked down at the numbers. I got a jolt like lightening. And I don't drink coffee. But the jolt was real. 199 lbs. I was finally under the 200 lb mark. And that was a loss of 3 lbs this week.
This is a good day and a great start to my weekend.
WOO HOO!!

Time for ME???

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Growing up I was the only girl in my family I had a younger brother and my father. He was a long haul, heavy haul truck driver. I can remember he would hire housekeepers to stay and take care of things at the house. That included us kids. Many times while he was gone on the road the person he hired would just leave and we discovered she left with some of our belongings. So I learned to take care of myself and my brother starting at the age of 9. See dad would call to ask how things were going. The first time it happened I told my dad when he called that the housekeeper was gone. I thought he was going to kill himself trying to get back home. I learned a lesson. The second time it happened I didn't tell him until he got back into town.
So by the age of 10 and after a few more disappearing housekeepers, I was taking care of things by myself. I got my brother off to school. I cleaned house, made meals, did laundry, and went to school. There was no time to do the kid things. I have never gone to any dances or proms. I couldn't go to any athletics after school. I had to go straight home. Now a days they would call it child abuse. I knew nothing better. I just knew what I had to do. When my father accepted the fact that I was the one to do the job he made arrangements with the local grocery store to have a tab if we needed something. I walked 2 miles to the store pulling the wagon got what we needed and walked back. When Dad got back into town he paid the store tab. The stores wouldn't do that now a days.
When I got old enough to get married and on my own. I already knew what I had to do. I had my children and got them raised, out the door. Now it is time for ME!!!!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.

I struggle at this!

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Thank you for stopping by to read my thoughts.
Well, I am going to try to take the time to do a blog more frequently. I for whatever reason struggle to think of something to write about me. I do so much reading and trying to find the articles to post on my team that I don't find the time to write about what I am thinking, doing, going to do, etc... Some things never change. I am at the bottom of the list.

But that is going to have to change. See I just joined a team that requires me to blog. I guess that is one way to make me do this. LOL.
As I sit here trying to think of something to say I am blank. I am so busy trying to support everyone who is a part of my life that I forget about me.

A BREAK THROUGH! I should think more about me at least once in awhile.
Now, just trying to apply this.
The power of positive thoughts. I know I can!!!

Do you struggle with putting yourself first once in a while???

Saturday, February 20, 2010

Well who said persistence didn't pay off. Not I.... I went outside a washed several windows and then I came inside to look for those darn gloves again, This time I went into my sewing room and started opening boxes. I guess what I found with my sewing stuff???? THE GLOVES. Who would have guessed to look in the sewing stuff for Garden gloves.
Anyway, I found them and now I am going out to trim some roses back.
BYE!!!
