PRAISE THE LORD, tis February!
February FIRST has come with some expectations to fulfill. A new month is almost like a fresh start. I weighed myself and will record it along with a walking journal again during February. Temps are to be a pleasant 54 degrees today which is ideal for walking. Put on my walking shoes and be off.
Time to bring out some hearts and be merry.

A load of laundry is washing. Hows 'bout that. I didn't make my goal of having all the laundry caught up by the end of January, but am a few loads shy. I'll be hooting and hollering when I get there. What a task this has been.
I'm still going through clothing to thin out and tidying the Master Closet. Over the week-end I will quickly grab more articles and place in bags to donate. Time to start thinking about Spring attire. I decided that I want to make fast work out of this as LIFE is passing by so quickly and I have had a tendency to drag my feet concerning projects like this.
If I drag my feet on projects it does not prevent tragic things from happening. Time will not slow down any. Dragging my feet just causes projects to not happen as fast as they could. I have some kind of hang up about it. Intentional SLOW living is something else isn't it?

Returning to drinking HOT LEMON WATER in the mornings has picked up pace. TODAY is another opportunity to make healthy choices.
Going for LABS Monday. They probably will not weigh me, but if they do I'll be ready as I will drink lots of fluids for the next three days and eat veggies like I love them. CELERY each day. NEW FOOD CONCEPT for me.
HOT LEMON WATER to start the days out. Bone broth for lunch. Celery for snack. Bone broth for supper. Popcorn for snack. Loads of water. A very short food program to break a plateau I have encountered. NO BREADS, pastas, cookies, cakes, etc. Then after three days, here comes the salads again and small amounts of lean meat. I sound obsessed with food, but I don't know how else I can be when strict dieting is hugely difficult for me.
Practicing mindful eating while walking should make some progress in reducing weight as time goes by.
MOVIE TIME. PUTTING MY BIG GIRL PANTIES ON. Well, I did it. I took ownership of what I was watching on the big screen tele and turned the movie off. YOU'RE CORDIALLY INVITED. I was watching supposedly a comedy movie with Reece Witherspoon and Will Ferrell that turned into a full blown film with foul language. Ummm, it was full of F BOMBS. Disappointed that Reece's and Ferrill's characters had such foul mouths. THEY've made millions of dollars for their roles. Millions. It truly is filthy lucre. I love the comedian Leanne Morgan. Disappointed that she starred in a movie that should be rated F for F BOMBS/foul language. Leanne, what 'cha thinking? She's gone from clean stand up comic to being in a F BOMB movie. Wish it weren't so.
THE LAUNDRY will be completely caught up so I can relax to do other chores. I will begin typing my notes up for that long awaited book I will write. Heaven knows why I stopped writing on it.
~WINTER ROYALTY~
LIL MISS was nominated for her High School's WINTER ROYALTY. She won! I'm so happy for her. She told us about wanting to be a candidate. When that happened I told her that she was already a winner by being a candidate. Last night was the ceremony and she won QUEEN of the Court. A boost of HAPPINESS flooded my Grandma SOUL.
She chose a sparkly, white dress with pearls. All the female candidates were wearing such short dresses, but what can I say. All cleaned up so nice and looked beautiful. The boys played it down some.
Small Town America still has class.
Because you live in Small Town America doesn't mean you cannot make good choices and LIVE a good LIFE. SO I must embrace this and be all that I am suppose to be. Praise the LORD, LIFE is good.
