Still Hanging In!!
Peaceful is such a great way to be!! I have been taking the time to have an hour of quiet time for myself each and every day. It is very hard to do with four kids, a hubby, a dog and a house that needs to be kept clean, who all need me!
It is so important for us to have some quality time to ourselves to think, reflect, plan and just plain relax. I have been sitting outside (before it gets too cold and snowy) and reading or just sitting there. It has helped me tremendously and this is how my TRANSFORMATION is going to take place. It comes from within and I have never really been peaceful within before. There are many things that have gone on in my life to make me nervous, self-conscience, scared and angry on the inside. I have always kept it hidden, but have found that it just needs to be let go. So in my hour of sitting daily, it is just easing its way out. I am such a happier, calmer person. I also THANK GOD for this peacefulness. He has really helped me to see that certain things cannot be changed, so do something about it to make yourself heal.
My workouts and eating have been pretty good. I am getting to the gym and I am eating clean "MOST" of the time and when I am not, I know how icky it feels and can't wait to get back to it. I will succeed. So will all of you. We just have to get peaceful inside, then we can get what we want on the outside. Just be sure of what you really WANT!!
I used to want to be "skinny, gorgeous, loved by all and more", but that has all changed and now I want to be "lean, healthy, loved by those that love themselves, to love myself and to be the best I can be to all of those around me"
PLEASE JOIN ME IN BEING PEACEFUL, IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE!! Don't sweat the small stuff! 
Love and hugs to you all ... xoxoxoxoxoxo ... Have a great, strong, peaceful, KIS day!!

Denise ~ Yes it sure is! I agree with you. I too have four kids and morning is too busy around here for that to be my peaceful time, so I take an hour in the afternoon before they come home from school and our crazy, hectic running around begins. Football for the boys and crew for my daughter. I hear ya, I miss them and the noise when they are gone. Taking care of Jonnae must have kept you really busy. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and hoping that you find the outlet that you are searching for to keep you busy and happy!! Thank you so much for your kind words, they really help to keep me grounded! Love and Hugs to you! ... xoxoxox ... Dieanna
Hi Dieanna, Peace is beautiful. So many who don't seek it are missing out. Quiet time in the morning is where I get grounded and how I start my day strong. I'm so grateful for your having found it as well. My challenge right now is in creating time that isn't quiet. Isn't that funny. Who would think a mom of four active children would need to find activity. But they are in school and the time that was filled with Jonnae no longer is. Love your post, love that you are letting go of the fight and finding true focus and love that you are sharing the journey with us. Blessings, Denise
You are so welcome. It has really changed how I look at and do things. It also helps with negative people, believe it or not. Just be peaceful!! Have a great day!
Beautiful post Dieanna - I really agree with the getting peaceful inside. Thanks!
