Field Day

-
Emily had field day at her school yesterday morning and it was lots of fun. Even with a broken arm, she managed to participate in almost every activity and race. In fact, I was cringing at a few of them! She is supposed to get the cast off on Thursday, and I could picture her falling and doing even more damage.

Fortunately, she got through the day accident free!

Tug-o-War was done with one hand.

Emily & her teacher. On a side note: I felt bad for her teacher yesterday. She is due with her first child in early September. However, her contractions started this weekend and the doctor put her on medication to control them. She was very uncomfortable yesterday and really wasn't supposed to be there. Pray for Mrs. Setero if you think of it. She is very sweet and is related by marriage to a woman in our church.

The ball hop and sack race were the two relays where she made me nervous with her arm.

This girl can run! She is definitely very athletic.

This one made me laugh. All the girls paired up for the three-legged race, but Emily got stuck with this boy. Everyone else had their arms around each other or linked as they raced down the field. These two refused to touch each other. I hope it stays that way for a VERY LONG time! ;-)

It was a fun day and even though it was cloudy and overcast, the weather held. School is over next Friday and we are definitely ready for summer!

    So much fun! She did well to only be able to use one arm too!

    Terri, I like your new blog design.

    My laptop at home won't let me pull up your blog, but the pc at work will. The laptop is new, so go figure! It also wouldn't pull up my own blog, until I took my playlist off. I don't know why it does that.

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
