start from now and
make a brand new
ending" " The great
thing in this world

we stand, but in

medicine like hope,
no incentive so
great, and no tonic
so powerful as
expectation of
something better
tomorrow." ~ O. S.
Marden "Dream lofty
dreams, and as you
dream, so shall you
become. Your vision
is the promise of
what you shall one
day be; your ideal
is the prophecy of
what you shall at
last unveil." ~
James Allen "I asked
God to give me
happiness. God said,
"No. I give you
blessings. Happiness
is up to you." ~

"Goals give you more
than a reason to get
up in the morning;
they are an
incentive to keep
you going all day.
Goals tend to tap
the deeper resources
and draw the best
out of life. "Put
yourself in a state
of mind where you
say to yourself,
'Here is an
opportunity for me
to celebrate like
never before, my own
power, my own
ability to get
myself to do
whatever is
necessary." ~
Anthony Robbins " ~
Harvey Mackay "Life
is a challenge, but
if you don't stand
and risk you will
never know if you
were able to win or
lose. Challenges are
not a thing of
winning or losing;
they are a way of
learning from them
to become a better
person every day! ~
Alexsander
Rodriguez, P.R
"Don't ask for it to
be easy, ask for it
to be worth it." Dan
Kuschell "The most
important question
to ask is not 'What
am I getting?' The
most important
question to ask on
the job is 'What am
I becoming?'"You are
never given a wish
without also being
given the power to
make it true. You
may have to work for
it, however." -
Richard Bach "In the
confrontation
between the stream
and the rock, the
stream always wins;
not through
strength, but
through
persistence." ~
Jackson Brown "I
have always been
delighted at the
prospect of a new
day, a fresh try,
one more start, with
perhaps a bit of
magic waiting
somewhere behind the
morning." ~ J.B.
Priestly "Each of us
has an inner dream
that we can unfold
if we will just have
the courage to admit
what it is. And the
faith to trust our
own admission. The
admitting is often
very difficult." ~
Julia Cameron "The
block of granite
which was an
obstacle in the
pathway of the weak
becomes a
stepping-stone in
the pathway of the
strong. That block
of granite is often
nothing more than a
decision." ~ Thomas
Carlyle "Being
yourself is not
remaining what you
were, or being
satisfied with what
you are. It is the
point of departure."
~ Sydney Harris
"Risk! Risk
anything! Care no
more for the opinion
of others, for those
voices. Do the
hardest thing on
earth for you. Act
for yourself. Face
the truth." ~
Katherine Mansfield
"Too often we are
scared. Scared of
what we might not be
able to do. Scared
of what people might
think if we tried.
We let fears stand
in the way of our
hopes. We say no
when we want to say
yes. We sit quietly
when we want to
scream. And we shout
with the others,
when we should keep
our mouths shut.
Why? After all, we
do only go around
once. There's really
no time to be
afraid. JUST DO IT."
~ Nike advertising
campaign "I am
convinced that
attitude is the key
to success or
failure in almost
any of life's
endeavors. Your
attitude - your
perspective, your
outlook, how you
feel about yourself,
how you feel about
other people -
determines your
priorities, your
actions, your
values. Your
attitude determines
how you interact
with other people
and how you interact
with yourself." ~

"Happiness lies for
those who cry, those
who hurt, those who

Unknown "Whatever
you do, you need
courage. Whatever
course you decide
upon, there is
always someone to
tell you you are
wrong. There are
always difficulties
arising which tempt
you to believe that
your critics are
right. To map out a
course of action and
follow it to the
end, requires some
of the same courage
which a soldier
needs." ~ Ralph
Waldo Emerson A wish

decision, changes
EVERYTHING "So many
of our dreams at
first seem
impossible, then
they seem
improbable, and
then, when we summon
the will,they soon
become inevitable."

"When you pass
through the waters,
I will be with you;
And through the
rivers, they will

For I am the LORD
your God, The Holy
One of Israel, your
Savior." Isaiah

beauty but not
everyone sees it.

Wow. I sure have been away for quite awhile now. I'm still at 70 lbs weight loss give or take a couple of pounds. I'm very happy with that. I'm a size 8 and I feel so good!
I can eat everything now but of course in limited fashion. The breads and pasta's are easier to digest but sometimes they can give me a problem. I still try my best to stay away from them since I have a tendency to become hooked on them.
I've been very bad at physical activity. I hate it but now that the weather is nice I have to get my butt in gear. I still do not drink the protien drinks. Maybe one a week? I still cannot stomach them. So I get my protien from my solid foods. Maybe not as much as I should some days but I do okay. My labs are always great except For my iron but I'm dealing with it. We're going on a Disney Cruise in October and I want to feel toned if that is possible.
Well I must go I'm working part-time still and I'm taking a medical transcription course from home (CanScribe/Career Step) and of course I have my 4 year old at home with me still so I'm a little busy. Bye for now.
