As of today, i have managed to run 5km on Monday, 3km's today plus a 1/2 hour workout with weights...I lost one pound since last Thursday..19 more to go. I don't think that one pound is all that good, but it was over the new year and during a time of much craving for sweets, salt and sour. I'll take it, better than gaining one pound I guess.
Today was good, did some running around with Paul which included getting Kailey's paint for her bedroom. The colour that she chose is called "Cumulous Cotton" its a very pretty shade of blue. I am so excited to get her room finished. Once Kailey is relocated I will have more room available to Braden and all of his equipment. It gives him more privacy when his friends are over and keeps them out of my theatre room. Besides, I am not a fan of the video game playing which will now be out of sight for me and that benefits Braden!
As my title states, this year I am cleaning out the inbox and getting rid of everything that is not of any use to me or my life! Seems drastic but it is necessary. There is alot coming up this year and I have no time for things that are not of importance. That may include some people as well. Over the years I have spent sometime concerned of what others may think or feel about myself or how I raise my children, choices I make personally, professionally or theoretically. As I age, grow and become more experienced I have come to realize that what others think are generally.. not important and does not bear any significance whatsoever to the decisions or outcomes in my life. This is actually a nice place to be...very peacefull. As long as in the end I have no regrets and have lived the life I wanted, all will be peaceful in my world. Know, I am not saying that I won't accept positive critisizm from the ones who are important to me, or that I won't listen to what others have to say...as long as their advise is in my best interest. People tend to get caught up living their own lives, pretending that all is perfect and they have the knowledge and power to live with all the answers, not only about their life..but also yours. My belief however is that unless you live the exact same life as someone and have the same feelings, strenghths and weaknesses as that person...then there is no room for judgement. I do not claim to hold all the answers to life's mysteries...I am still learning. So, by cleaning out my inbox I will be eliminating some things in my life which I feel may cause undue drama, or just plain feelings of frustration. Here's to 2010..and all the wonderful unjudged decisions I make!!
Spencer just a shout out to you...get to bed, you have a test tomorrow!!
Emily K. and Candace M. Thanks for joining my blog..so happy to see you here!
LOL! I can't get to bed, I have to do homework :(
ReplyDeleteLOL poor Spencer, watch out she is watching you lol! I totally agree with what you said, sometimes you have to get rid of teh negative things in life to move on, enough in the world wrong as it is. You always have had your hands full with so much and you deserve to be happy, you and your family have travelled a long path that most people cannot know how and what you guys went through. but you are making changes to better you and your family thats whats most important. I am glad you are finally doing that. I have now gone on your path and realized i don't care what people think anymore, with help from Greg, if they aren't a positive influence in my life then I don't want them. I am always here for you, we have travelled a long road as friend this year 33 years and many more to come. Now leave Sepncer alone. Love ya
ReplyDeleteThank you Candy for the nice comments! I am happy to hear that you are following my lead, it is a much nicer place to be when you care less about what others think of you or the choices that you make. Yes, we have travelled a long road as friends and have been fortunate enough never really have any life altering differences or problems in our friendship. The nice thing about considering you more as a sister is that it has been a choice, not forced! I love you very much and I value and cherish all the years past and the years to come! All the best in 2010, you keep thinking positive, don't worry about the unimportant! xoxo
ReplyDeletesorry just reading this now a year later and not sure if you will get this comment .....but I agree totally ....I never try to judge people as you dont know what their life is about unless you are in their feet and that is impossible. So live your life for you and the only reason some comments is because they want some of your sunshine to get out of their shade!!!
