I have been distracted with work today, and completely forgot to post (some excuse-right?).
I liked this saying…might use it again soon.

Monday
Dragging today, but this weekend was so with it!
Setting new goals…or I should say…resetting my goals.
Happy Monday!
Blessings.
Power
This is so true for me with my health, home, and work.
I need to reset my attitude in everything pertaining to my body, and it begins with the mind.
Struggling, but aware.
Do you have something you need to change your mindset?
Blessings.

When Carmen and I were visiting family in Maryland just over the Potomac from DC, we went to the store and I found these…
We got two. The smell alone brought back so many memories from visiting Germany in my youth.  I can get the ones in the freezer in Florida…but these were made fresh. Carmen and I shared these two over a couple of days.  So yummy.
Is there something you see in the store while on vacation that does this to you?
Blessings.
DC Again
Carmen and I waited in line to see an oral argument with the Supreme Court Justices. Carmen was in heaven due to being able to see and hear Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).
Finally saw blooming cherry blossoms 🌸 outside of the Supreme Court building.
Toured the National Geographic Queens of Egypt exhibit. Women should rule the world.
Stood blocks away from the White House. Security had the square blocked off due to an outside press conference. Ugh!
Had cold water oysters (not sure what kind they were). Eh…I love my Florida oysters. These were good, but small and very briney.
End of the day and rode the MARC trains. Great way to get around especially if I don’t have to do this daily.
Today we are off to NYC. I am super excited to be there for a couple of days and to show Carmen some sites. I haven’t been here since I was seventeen.
Blessings!!

Another 5k...Last year my time was 53:45. This time with David, Carmen and Julie (her second).
And we all finished…David had his best time of 47:26. I am happy I finished 55:59 not my best time at all…but finished.
Love these people so much, had fun….made new friends…yes, feeling really lucky.
Blessings.
Comfort Zone
This applies to so many things in my life right now. I am trying to focus on dealing with challenges and problems, and I think I am locked in. Although I float between the Learning Zone and Fear Zone with the self-confidence, I am building in that area.
My swings apply to my Lupus, weight loss, health in general, work and then life (family and friends). I feel pulled in so many directions, and want everyone to be happy with me, I forget to be happy with myself. Staying in the Fear Zone is something I do not want to do.  It seems I don’t consciously think that I am there.
Today I put myself out there…extending my comfort zone. I spoke up for myself, and felt validated afterwards. It is so hard, especially when I think others have a preset idea. It is good to be heard, listened to, and acknowledged for my thoughts and ideas.
Presenting myself in a way that speaks self-confidence, I have gained more self-confidence. Ironic really, and now I want to grow more.
What zone do you linger in? How have you conquered your personal growth or not?
Blessings today and always.

Ya, I am struggling. To stay positive, to be encouraging, to be who I want to be.
Life happens. I want to snack, have wine, not exercise-stuff, that isn’t positive or encouraging. But reality.
I struggle. Struggle with the day to day, routine crap that can tie you down and sink you in a second.
So, in bed by 9pm and taking all I can to get me through the day.
Today is new. Beginning again. Every day is a new day.
Blessings.
Monday
Trying to believe it.
Blessings.
Monday
Someone may need this today. I know I do.
Blessings.
