Great job on eating healthier. Treat yourself to a treat once in a while during the day. Then you won’t feel like you are depriving yourself. If it is earlier in the day it won’t effect your sleep. I have the same sleep problems if I eat a dessert in the evenings. I just eat it the next day in the daytime.

What a beautiful picture. Those experiences are the most memorable. You will laugh about it when you remember it. I am so glad you found the positive in it even when you were cold, wet, and tired. Nature has a way of making us feel alive and happy.

Thank you Li! Believe it or not, I actually have always really enjoyed writing but haven’t in a long time. You noticing those things makes me want to get back into it.

That is so awesome you were there for your mom at such a big birthday. It is always worth it when it comes to family. She will always remember and cherish the times you visit.

I can relate to how you feel. I like to look at my progress every day. It helps me feel like l am getting a little closer to that goal. Take it day by day. On the days you are tired go to karate. I guarantee you will feel better after the class. I do.

I can definitely sympathize with how you feel!

I am glad you had a restful week. It is good to take time for ourselves to be healthy.
