I'm thinking of moving my blog to wordpress. I'm not certain, but I think I need a fresh look and a fresh start. I guess I'm having a mid (actually 2/3) life crisis/awakening...... There are just sixty-four days left till I turn FIFTY. I can't believe it. I don't feel fifty. In my mind, I am still young. Maybe I'm in my late twenties, early thirties max. But, then I look in the mirror and holy crap, there is a middle aged woman staring back at me. I went to my hometown this weekend for a bridal shower and I ran into a few people that I knew from high school and they were old people. How did this happen?
I'm going to weigh in today. We missed last week because the meeting was cancelled for snow. Today the temperature should reach seventy. Welcome to middle Tennessee weather. I'm always a little nervous about the weigh in, even though I weigh at home everytwelve hours day. I know I've passed ten pounds as two weeks ago I was at 9.4 lbs. Just like my dad, who used to will winter away, I am willing the pounds to melt. And, yes acceptance is something I'm still working on, thank you very much.
Lastly, I'm writing a book. I've been thinking of doing it for three years. At first, I wanted to write with some friends. But, I had enough problems trying to figure out my own part, much less knowing how to coordinate it and organize it with another. I've never really given up on it. Maybe, it will be only for my family. Maybe it will get published. Whatever will be, will be. But, these things I decided to do and follow through with in this my fiftieth year.
I watched Oprah last night. I watched the first episode of Lindsay (Lindsay Lohan documentary) and her interview with Russell Brandt. I'm so glad that she (Oprah) is giving attention to the epidemic problem of addiction. I'm really rooting for Lindsay but how many of you moms out there wanted to swoop in there and clean her hotel room and tell her that she needed to divest herself of all of that STUFF? Maybe it's just me, but I also wanted to say, "go buy yourself a little cottage in the country or by the ocean......how can you possibly get clear in the noise of the city and with paparazzi?"
Yes, I still go to Al Anon (regarding previous paragraphs). But, I think I have such good ideas......Loving the sunshine today! Hang in there my friends, spring is on it's way. Praying for you all.
