10 weeks of physical health: Day 25 - 30

5 days of candy everywhere around me! How do you be physically healthy with bags of TRICK 'O TREAT candy everywhere --- at home, at work, from kids school class, from Halloween night! Well - I will admitt I did very good and only had a few pieces of candy on Halloween - but the weekend to follow is where I CAVED! I had enough for about 5 people on Saturday and Sunday night. -- I guess the fact that I ate very healthy all day on those days, until the evening, perhaps helps!

Done with that! I am sick of candy - and am back on track!

Thought for the week! I will focus on the following subject and DISCUSSION this week:

What do you want?

Ask yourself -- What do I want?

Really -- Truly! This is one of the most important things that I have discovered for myself recently! I have been discovering WHAT I WANT!

It is amazing! It also feels sooo good! I believe that this is one question that undeservingly gets several answers -- such as follows:


  • "I am too busy to think about what I want! I have my family to think about - my kids, spouse, earning money ...!" (the list goes on and on)

  • "I don't think I really deserve what I really want!" (first of all - do you KNOW what you REALLY want?)

  • "I am just biding my time. I will get what I want when my kids are older and less dependent on me!" (Those who are "older" are probably laughing :))

  • "I don't have the money to have what I want!" (I must ask again -- Do you KNOW what you REALLY want?)
What other excuses or explainations do you find yourself saying to avoid this question: What do I want?

Start thinking . . . and now that these wheels are turning . . . share your thoughts if you wish . . . share what you think you want or know you want. Help us out - give others some ideas.

Tomorrow I will post some ways to find out what you truly want! Just get those wheels turning!

When I get down to the nitty gritty about what I want, I realize that I pretty much have everything I've ever wanted. My family and I are all healthy, we have good relationships with each other. We make enough money to meet our NEEDS, with a little left over for a couple WANTS now and then. I have fantastic friends who nuture and respect me for who I am, my relationship with God is growing stronger all the time. I can't ask for more, only that this wonderful life that I have now will continue for many years. A couple of things that I really want to add to my life are volunteering in my community, and making more friends or at least building upon the relationships I already have with my friends and family.
Pretty simple, eh? I guess that's the point. As I think about what I want and what I have now, a ton of pressure is lifted off my shoulders when I realize I am already on the right path!
Loves!
