So, now that it's almost March, I've realized I really have to start this 'diet' NOW so as to be where I want/hope to be for summer. Day 2 of counting points (again). I just keep telling myself the first week is the hardest and eventually food won't be the main thing I'm thinking about. So, back to drinking my large glass of Cabernet (4 points).
Currently in Hill house: plumber is fixing leaking pipe in bathroom (sucks to be him! 7:25 on Friday night), Caleb and Em watching Pinocchio. Leon on laptop with headphones and me on ye 'ole desktop. Caleb got to come home early from school with a stomach and fever..hopefully it won't turn into stomach bug that I hear is going around. He seems quite fine though.
Tomorrow is Caleb's 3rd little league basketball game. not sure what fun we'll get into tomorrow, but I always look forward to a full day off with the kids and nothing really pressing to do. Oh wait..that's pretty much every day of my life :) Lucky me. No, scratch that. How BLESSED I am.
I was just commenting on my sister-in-law's blog ( http://helpyourselfblog.com/) about the 8th deadly sin (yes, there were 8 in the original list during the 4th century) - sadness.
I think. No, I know I'm blessed to be naturally cheerful. At least I think I am! That is definitely one thing I don't have to work at - trying to be cheerful and not chronically sad or continually complain. I never really thought about it before, but read a devotional recently about it. I don't mean to deny the afflictions of others and I am grateful and thankful to not have any dire sadness currently in my life. But here's the thing I need to work on: looking beyond my circumstances (whether that be sorrowful or joyful) and look to the vision of joy that awaits me. (Heb. 12:2)
You alone, Lord Jesus, can true joy impart, For You know the sorrow of the human heart; You came here from glory that heart to win And in love for sinners suffered once for sin. - Anon. (taken from Daily Bread)
