Wednesday Weigh In/Thankful Thursday

So over the past few weeks (okay, maybe months), I haven't felt like blogging. And, that's okay. That's the joy of holding ownership to this thing. :)

Also over the past few weeks, I have fluctuated a bit with my weigh-ins. One week, I was down .41%, the next week down .55%, the next week up 1.11%, and so on...

BUT...

Thanks to the disgusting, nasty flu, I was back down this week -- 6 pounds!!! Woohoo!!! We'll see where next week lands me. I'm ready to fly past my competitors...it's still anyone's game!!!

Ok, now on to Thankful Thursday...

Today, I've just had an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my sweet babies. They are my world, and I don't know how I ever managed my life without them. When we were at the Fall Festival this weekend, I saw some acquaintances from high school who went through the horror of losing their precious little girl to leukemia less than a year ago. For a moment, I felt guilty for even being there with my kids...because I couldn't fathom what they must have felt inside their hearts. Seeing mamas pushing strollers and daddies carrying kids on their shoulders; hearing the giggles and demands of excited little monkeys at a festival; remembering how that once felt to have their sweet baby there with them. I just had to stop for a minute and thank God for what I had -- and who I had in my life. 

I may not have the PhD that I dreamed of -- yet; I may not live in a brand new, gorgeous home -- yet; I may not have a solid savings account -- yet; I may not...whatever. But I DO have an awesome, amazing family...and for that, I am so. very. thankful.

xoxo,
