Feeling Groovy

Life is good.  Life is, actually, fantastic.  It is not because everything is going perfectly, which happens to be the case.  Rather, it's because I have chosen happiness.  I tend to be a positive person with sprinklings of self-loathing interspersed here and there.  I remain positive but the negative self talk has ebbed to the point where it's absence is making way for pure joy.

I am taking pleasure in the little accomplishments I achieve.  I am forgiving of my lapses in judgement (no, I am NOT drinking).  Each day I manage to check a goal off my list of small daily goals.  By setting very achievable daily goals, my chances of success are high and this makes for a happy Granny.

Spring is in the air ... we still have tons of snow but it's starting to melt and the maple sap is starting to flow.  We've had a record breaking cold winter and we are all so ready to enjoy our five months of warm weather.

Being A/F is the best choice for me.  Each time I have flirted with the idea of moderating, I drink more than one and even if I only have had three glasses of wine, it drastically affects my sleep and my hydration.  After so many attempts at drinking, I think the boozing hat is permanently put on a shelf.  It's been a little while now and it feels good.

Since my son and DIL have been living with me (with their 20 month old sweetie) we've been eating like kings.  I'm having a bit of a hard time dropping my holiday weight and hope to shed these remaining 8 pounds before bathing suit season.  Walking and rebounding are my preferred exercise.

I finally bit the bullet and applied to volunteer at a Hospice for those battling life threatening diseases.  The church where the hospice is run is a short walk from my house so that should make it easy to keep my commitment.  I am anxious to start the work.

Here's hoping that spring has sprung where you hale from!!  I know some of you are heading towards winter.  Sigh ...
