Health Trek Day 50

I have not been concentrating much on dieting lately. Just been working on Christmas projects and getting ready for the big day. I lost another pound this week without trying. I am beginning to think there may be something to this idea of letting go. We can get so wrapped up in a goal we want, we end up sabotaging ourselves and create obstacles to keep us from getting there. By just doing what needs to be done each day without agonizing about it, I seem to be having more success. I am trying to do the same things with my Christmas preparations. I make a list each day of what needs to be done and try to accomplish that much each day. I am not stressing about all the things I need to do. I know I will get it all done by Thursday so am trying to enjoy the process. Tomorrow I plan to do some baking and put together the gift bags for the neighbors. We all give each other baked goods or hand crafts and thoroughly enjoy sharing the recipes and our various talents. I love Christmas and the joy that fills the community!
Rock On!

Christmas Poem 2005

My Christmas Wish

If I should find just cause
to visit Dear old Santa Claus
I wouldn't mumble gibberish
I'd make a very crucial wish
I would make a wish for Time
And not just the usual kind
The time I need is many fold
And much more valuable than gold
I'd wish for lots of Time to give
For as long as I am allowed to live
I'd give my time to all my kin
This is where I would begin
I'd also like the time to take
And learn to listen for my Kids sake
I'd take the time to let them speak
Maybe help find answers that they seek
Spending time is always fun
It's gone before we've just begun
But I would spend it every day
To be with family while I may
So Santa if you see my letter
Help me make my life much better
By taking, making and giving time
To make our family life sublime!

Merry Christmas Every One!
