You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. - Johnny Cash
Good afternoon everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday! I have had a nice relaxing day. I actually finished a book this morning, granted, it was a small book, but it was a book none the less. I havent really had to do much, I ran to the store, put on dinner and took the dog out, but overall its been a really nice do nothing kind of day.
I put on a pot of white chicken chili. I added onion, bell pepper and garlic. About an hour before I want to serve it, I will add 2 zucchinis. I am excited. I also have some left over keto cheddar biscuits from last nights dinner, so I will serve those with it. And then maybe another slice of the cheesecake, it was wonderful!! I am so happy to have found something that tastes enough like the real thing to easily substitute. I am going to serve the chili with sour cream and cheese. Gotta get my fat in there! lol
I feel good, I think that I just needed a day to think and get myself in order. My living room is coming together, and its not a mess and that makes me feel a lot better and I am going to make time for me. I need to talk to my husband about making sure that I have some time in the evening to do things for me. I cannot always be doing for everyone else and forget the things that I love. I love writing here, I love reading what you all have to say and I love being able to support and inspire people. It motivates me to be able to motivate others.
This site isnt that "user friendly" on the app. I hate it, I use the app to log my food, but I hate trying to journal on there or do anything more than post a picture or log food. Also, has anyone noticed that you cannot go back and read peoples journals on the site anymore? If you go to their member profile, it used to be on the left side, but its no longer there. I dont know if everyone I know has put their journal on private or they have changed the site and made it no longer visible, but I dont like it. I miss things, because I am not around often, and I want to go back and read what people have said and I cannot get to it. It makes me unhappy.
So on Friday I was able to write a story like I wanted. I was hoping that it would wake up the part of me that is in the middle of writing a novel, but that part isnt ready yet, apparently, haha. I have always wanted to be a writer, and while that is not the most lucrative career anymore, it would still be something that I would love to do in my spare time. If I made a little money at it, all the better. If anyone here owns a publishing company, let me know! lol
I pray that the Lord finds us all in a good place, mentally, so we can all get to a better place physically. I pray that he helps us make the right choices and do the things that we know we are supposed to do. I pray that he heals the hurts, the disappointments and the hardships that we are facing. I pray peace over us all. I pray that we turn to him and to each other when we need support and love and that we do not fall into old habits. I pray healing. In Jesus precious name, Amen!!
I hope you all get a chance to spread love today. I know that sometimes its hard, but always love.
