It is such a fantabulous wonderful day! The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Everything is well in paradise! My “diet” has been going well. I weighed in yesterday and have lost another seven pounds. This means I have reached my next goal. WOO HOO!!! I have gone through many struggles in my life dealing with addiction, obesity, health issues, poverty, just to name a few and sometimes it is nice to just sit back and enjoy the day. Therefore, I will not take the time to discuss those struggles today. When I got out of the hospital back in February last year, I knew God had blessed me and had given me another chance at life (Read my blurt entitled, “Miracles Do Happen”).
I think it is important to just take a step back sometimes and count your blessings. I know that sounds cliché. But for those of us who are struggling with life’s burdens, looking at the good things sure can make a difference in your attitude and perspective. Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down and start feeling depressed when you are trying to lose weight, manage a healthy diet, exercise, deal with home and work stress, kids, traffic, and manage all of those day to day tasks. It is easy to start feeling like you are on overload and get weighed down in your own self-pity.
So look on the bright side. Have a positive point of view. You will lose the weight. You can live a healthy lifestyle. Surround yourself with the ones that will support you. Take time out of your busy life for yourself. Sit back and smell the roses. One of the things I enjoy the most is to go out on my porch in the morning, have a cup of coffee, listen to the birds and watch the sunrise. It is my alone time, my time to commune with nature, my time to enjoy God’s gifts, my solitude, my meditation, my time to bask in God’s glory and His peace. Enjoy today. Take the time out. It will help lead you to a happier and healthier lifestyle. You will accomplish your goals. You will succeed on your diet. You will fit into that swimsuit again. Have a little faith. “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Mathew 6:26) I know he has taken care of me and carried me through my darkest hours. So, Have a Fantabulous Wonderful Day!
