I'm here...really, I am.

I've been wanting to get to this blog for days. I've got notes about the book I'm reading I want to add. There are some great scripture passages the Lord has been using in my life this week. I've got thoughts on my weight being up today. Just all sorts of *stuff* rolling around in my brain that I'd like to get out here.

However. ;-)  A few things are keeping me from the keyboard...

1. Sick baby needs more Momma-love while she battles this head cold.
2. Christmas preparations are in full swing. Would you believe that I started wrapping gifts at 11am and didn't stop until after 5pm???
3. I'm busy getting back to my exercise goals! :-)
4. Dh is off work now, so I'm spending more time hanging with my Sweetie. :D

So, while I keep thinking of things I want to add in here, I'm busy doing all the good things that this whole blog is intended to help me do. I'm using my new found energy to enjoy my family, take good care of myself, and get the good things done that need doing in my day.  A few of those would include, a workout on the Wii for 3 straight nights. (yay!)  A brisk walk alone with my dh this morning in the cold, snowy air. (LOVE IT!) Great conversations with the fam about setting some new health goals for the new year. (thinking on aiming for 50% raw food diet) Amazing time in the word, complete with journaling and followed up by family devotions. AND, I've gotten in my 2 liters of water first thing for the past 2 mornings. ::cheesy grin::

See? All good stuff. All within my ambitions for a healthier lifestyle. Even though I'm not meeting all of my weekly goals, the Lord is enabling me to stay focused and make good choices in the midst of a pretty crazy week.

Tomorrow promises to be another full day.  I'm off to snuggle with my dh and pray we can all rest in Heavenly Peace. ;-)  Your prayers that Baby Dear gets well soon are greatly appreciated!!
