My weekly check in here to let you all know I'm still alive and as well as well can be for now. I thought I had a decent week eating wise but the scale was up 2.2 lbs. Of course those of you who've known me a while know I have some pretty crazy fluctuations so I'm trying my best to take it in stride.
Next week I travel to California for a few days. My cousin (33 years old) is getting married. He's the oldest son of my youngest aunt (she and I were born 6 months apart, mom and grandma were pregnant at the same time!!!). I will get to see my mom, my Aunt Pat, and go to the wedding. Very excited about that. Hope I don't come back 10 lbs heavier ... I won't be able to juice there and my Aunt Pat always has treats at her home and will be making me yummy things like meatloaf, broiled chicken thighs, and chicken and noodles!!! And of course there is dinner, dancing and wedding cake to contend with at the wedding!!! I'm going to go and have a good time. I'll be traveling back to Idaho on my birthday, Monday the 15th.
Spring has sprung here in North Idaho. We enjoyed more than a week of warmer temps and sunshine. I even was able to wear sandals several days in a row. Made my feet very happy!!! The last few days we now have rain, which is of course to be expected. The snow is disappearing fast. Blue can now get off the back porch which he loves. Our private road up to the house is a muddy mess but that's what happens. Some years it has been May before the melt. Looks like this year will be different.
Still dealing with changes here in my personal life. Very confused about "what" to do and so I am focusing on day by day and working diligently to take things as they come.
Coffee in my cup, laundry started, hoping DH agrees to go to a Blues Festival tonight in a nearby town. I could use some fun.
Grateful today for ...
God's reminders to me that life is precious and I don't need to have everything figured out all the time.
A visit with my middle son yesterday who has been hit and miss with staying in touch with us since he turned 18 (he is 32 now). His life is a wreck and I'm not sure he is truly ready to do something about it yet but he texted me this week and asked if we could meet, that he needed my help to figure some things out. Grateful for being able to tell him, face-to-face that while I may not agree with him I love him and will always love him.
Melting snow!!!
Coffee!!!
Baby steps in finding balance in my life.
Friends and family who love me, regardless of the foolish mistakes I make.
Take care my friends.

Blues Festival and trip to California, I love the sound of that. You will enjoy each minute of fun you get! Spring came here too, but it decided it was not ready to settle in. We're back to winter :( I'm glad your snow melts and you got to wear sandals! Simple pleasures... Have a great weekend Carol!

Sorry I missed you Carol but I am always thinking of you and wishing you life's best. Sounds like a fun time ahead for you. I know you will do the best you can to be mindful as you stuff your face with loving goodness cooked by others. And wedding cake and wine and champagne - oh heck, just go and enjoy and deal with it when you get back. Life is short, joy is short lived a lot of the time so enjoy the good times when they roll around. Thanks for your support too.

Thanks Carol, wishing you a perfect day too. Perhaps perfect is too much to ask for, I'll simply wish you a God blessed day. All our trouble and tribulations are not His fault, they are indeed all our own but at least we don't have to bear them alone.
