Spiritual Sundays

I haven't searched to see if folks are already using this name but I see lots of other days devoted to specific agendas. 

Or I could call it "I love Jesus Day" ![of course I love Him everyday but Sundays are devoted to Him]

At our church, we are going through First Place. It is a life style change, Bible study and balance your life sortof thing. 

We focus on four aspects of our lives...Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Emotional. We focus on balance in all four areas to make us FABULOUS women. In other churches I have went through this study with men and/or couples. But currently it is a group of women. So that adds another element for me....FRIENDS! 

I love this program....I get to have accountability on weight loss [or healthy eating] and increasing physical activity [think exercise with a smile].  I am developing friendship with awesome women. 

First Place for Health also has Bible study accountability. 

So balancing all the many things as a mom, wife, sister, daughter and Child of God makes life run smoother...even for a procrastinator. 

I have notebooks full of blog posts....

I started over a year ago writing things down in a notebook. I had my introduction all finished up with several follow up stories. 

And now I feel nothing. 

It is the old procrastinating self again, until it can be perfect... why bother? I have been stalking all these clever ladies and seeing all their witty posts. I see beautiful custom designed blogs. I have all sorts of idea for our new home but too much laundry and dirt to take pictures today. 

I am gonna keep blogging along...that is the key to a procrastinating perfectionist, just keep going and soon it will resemble your ideal.

I am so far behind: I have lapped myself!

A snow day turned into 'get stuff knocked off my list' day! I am exhausted but it feels good to finally start seeing things crossed off the list.

I am two weeks behind. We spent Christmas in Alabama. The week after we got home, it snowed and snowed and snowed. The kids went to school only 1 1/2 days out of 5. You would think I could get all this stuff done with no extra activities going on.... yeah, whatever.

The next week, I started to get my groove back and then SEVERE pain in my left side. I drove myself to the doctor...discovered I had kidney stones. Yeah ME! Talk about pain. It took a week of me, pain killers and laying around doing nothing to pass them.

So here we are....getting started two weeks later. 

I labeled and organized all my Christmas boxes. I dream of having all plastic tubs but I never seem to have the cash after the Holidays.  But we had some boxes leftover from the move that were similar in size and worked out pretty well.

Bama Belle turned Mountain Momma....

Moving this far North really has some challenges.

January and February used to just be the first two months of the year, back when I lived down south. But here in the mountains they are the longest months of the entire year. Everything outside is ugly, unless it's covered in snow. The snow makes it pretty but then you are stuck in the house for days on end with stressed out kidlets.

Last year I gained 40 pounds between October to June. In June I went to the doctor secretly hoping I had some disease [I know it's bad but the truth]...the doctor called with recommendations for several DIETS!!! So this year I am 27 pounds smaller with 20 more to loose. I solved that issue of winter blues.

Another issue...after I take all nine of my Christmas trees down and all the extra for the holidays, everything looks so empty, stark, dead, sad! Outside looks the same way.....void of color.

So this year I am putting out some light blue and red accents for Valentines' Day. I know not traditional Vday colors but that's me.

My first blog post I don't hear rockets going off and bells ringing but at least I didn't wait till everything was perfect to start.

I really have tons of things to say: so I have a copy and don't have to hunt for the idea and maybe someone out there could use the idea too.
