So, I have missed a few days.  I had a really good one from Sunday.  My 11 year old niece, Anna!!!  She is an amazing young lady.  I am so excited that for some reason she wants to be around me whenever we are together.  What a positive blessing she is!! Monday was Monday butContinue reading “Every day? Okay, every few days…”

So, I wrote in my previous blog about the program at OSU.  I joined that program in late June or early July.  I have not been successful yet.  Each week I go in and wonder how much weight I have gained.  Not lost.  Not very productive.  One of the things that I am asked everyContinue reading “I am changing the title of my blog. Welcome to Pondering the Positive!!!”

When you are young you think that 30 is old.  When you are 20 you think that 50 is old.  When you are almost 46 you are stunned to see you are almost there.  There is no way I will be 46 in 12 days.  Just not possible.  Yet, that is what is happening.  WhereContinue reading “46? Where did that come from?”

Just typing that title makes me feel really old!!!!  Clayton is not old enough to get married.  If you don\’t know who Clayton is then you have missed out.  He is my oldest \”nephew\” and my fellow Steeler fan.  I have known his mom since she was 14 years old and held Clayton in theContinue reading “Clayton\’s Wedding?”

For so many years I watched my mom change into someone who was lonely, angry and depressed. I was so frustrated with her. Mad that she wouldn\’t get up and help herself. Well, as I am coming up on my 46th birthday, single, not a mom, almost to be homeless, broke, grotesquely obese and inContinue reading “Not even sure what to title this”

Okay, I am watching \”Say Yes to the Dress\” and it makes me start to dream.  Now, I may never get married.  So far, the Lord has not brought me someone.  Well, I have decided that I wanted some evening gowns to look at and use for inspiration.  Below are several that I really love. Continue reading “Dresses”

Okay, I am watching a 20/20 special about the People Magazine people who are half their size.  It is so sad to see people say they used to eat almost 7,000 calories before lunch, a sandwich, a pound of bacon, and a lot of other things and they are taller than me and weighed 426Continue reading “They eat what?”

Wow, it has been a wonderful weekend spent with 8,000 women and a few men.  Women of Faith was in town last night and today.  I have the opportunity, due to my job, to get complimentary tickets each year.  This year my dear friend, Annie, went with me.  I know I was blessed and IContinue reading “Dreams”

In 24 hours and 11 minutes I will officially be 45 years old.  I can\’t believe I am typing this.  Just yesterday I was 3 years old and tomorrow I will be an age that I thought was OLD when I was a little girl.  We did a survey at church tonight and there wereContinue reading “Another year has come and gone…”

I was just sitting in Dairy Queen with my \”family\” and we were talking about riding horses at Skyview.  I realized that in 4 months and 3 weeks I will be at the ladies retreat at Skyview.  It hit me that if I stay at this current weight I will not be able to evenContinue reading “Women\’s Retreat 2012”
