the waiting game...

waiting for our grandbaby...i guess he was one of the reasons this grandma-to-be got motivated to get herself in better condition.my kids really havent had a grandma.my biological mother died at age 39, when i was 18 months old. (sudden, unknown cause...in her sleep)my step mother had a stroke while i was in college and that is who they remember as Grammy, but she passed away when the kids were about 7 or 8 years old.my mother in law is the only ...

reaching my limits

ok...learning to let go...give up the fight...its been good.very comforting realizing my limits and boundaries and when i go past them i get anxious and afraid and....plummet. okie dokie...learning to breathe thru the situations that have bounced at meevaluating them...is this my problem? is this something that i can sincerely be of assistance with? does the situation need my input, widsom, action?its been going well with the daughter/...

still here...crazy busy

the whole workout thing has been skipped for two days. funerals and doctors offices with aging parents...one thing after another seems to be given priority in my life by me...i place others first and lose out on MY benefits.this is NOT the way i choose to live my life.i dont care if the family has all had crisis needs and failures and need me.i need to make sure that I NEED ME to get my hour of ME TIME in by doing the cardio and weighliftin...

(lots of family dysfunction there)now...he is dead.stop. drop. and ....really really listen to your heart. What is most important to you? Life is too short and unpredictable. Make sure that those you love know it....and you are prepared in all wa...
