Practicing Holy habits

Even when they are hard. I have managed to thank God for what he's given to me and taken from me as he always knows what is best for me.

Over the last 10+ years I have developed the inward thoughts of envy and/or jealousy when I see women who are pregnant or just had a baby or couples who just got married or engaged. It is hard that God has decided that I am not ready for those blessings, he knows best. However, as my 30's pass me by it gets harder to keep my eyes on God's plan.

Today I have decided to take those wrong feelings and turn it into a Holy Habit. As I walk by those women or couples I will praise God, pray for their lives and happiness. Pray for strong marriages and healthy amazing babies.

I wont let those harmful and evil feelings take over my wonderful, beautiful, and amazing life. That even though those desires are still there, I resign my heart to God's plan.

All good things come to those who wait. Lord, I am here in my waiting place and I will wait as long as you need me to. I will continue to live the great, free flying, just plain wonderful life I have. Thank you for my faith, courage, loving, and compassionate heart.

P.S. this is not a pity party, but a celebration of God's plans for me and everyone else. If you think it is then you really don't know me.

Letter to My Sister

HI Stacy! Hope Heaven is treating you well.  We sure miss you here on earth.  I am sure you are watching us daily, but just in case you are missing the finer details let me fill you in on your kids.  They, just like me, miss you.  We all wish that tomorrow was a day of celebration not a day of remembrance.  But I guess we should celebrate that you are not in pain anymore and that all three of yours children are being well taken care of. Hey did you hear that I am FINALLY getting married?  You would totally like the guy.  He's so great.  He's a big goofball like me but very loyal, caring and helpful.  He treats us all with respect and has only the best intentions when it comes to the kids.  We will rock this parenting thing together.  These kids will have an additional person to fill them up with love. So what have you missed in the last 5 years?  Unfortunately a lot.  It makes me sad sometimes to remember what t...

Because you need me

Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin...

A trip and a 5k a month?

Can it be done? Of course it can...I already know I can run a 5k so I just have to get off my butt and do it. As for the travel well January and February are booked. April, June, July and August are close behind. So 6 out of 12 is not too shabby for it only being January 9th - half way there. So where should I go? Any suggestion?
