Today is my birthday and I'm thankful to God for turning 55! Looking forward to just having a relaxing day. My birthdays are always a time of reflection and renewal. A long time ago I heard the saying "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Even the Apostle Paul urged us to forget those things that are passed and press toward the mark. My prayer today is that I won't beat myself up about failure to lose the weight that I wanted to lose. Instead, I pray to look forward to making healthy eating choices each day. At the end of my day, I am praying that I can tell myself "Well Done!"
