Workin'
Well as I think I may have mentioned, I went into work today for a couple hours to get my office cleaned up, and set it up as I like it. I find I need certain things alot more often than other items in my desk so I tried to get it ready so I can be efficient in my first few days back. I found all kinds of things that had been hanging around my office desk for too long, and so I cleared that out, and now I think about tomorrow and I am looking forward to work. I am going to work 6-10AM for one position, and then I am going back from 6-10PM to train for the other position. The lady who currently does the recieving has been gracious enough to offer to train me, and I think she might be up for a challenge! But she says not to stress, so I won't, or at least I will try not to. :-) There really isn't much more news than that, so I won't go on and on. Hope you all have a great night, and a great day tomorrow. I know I will!

Leaps and Bounds
In my last post I mentioned starting my journey not only to health but to embracing life. Well as most people know life is nothing without health. And since I am in the early stages of my journey, I figure I needed to start there. And I did...
I had a couple health issues that first and foremost were scary and that were taking over my life, both I had been dealing with for approximately 13 years, too long! Well I was fortunate to find a great Dr. in the city who was willing to be a partner in my getting well. And so on June 24th I went in for major but routine surgery. It has been about 11 days since my surgery and I am already going stir crazy, a good sign I figure, I am healing up much better than I expected and I am looking forward to moving on with my life. While I was in the hospital I was able to get some other tests done to help me with the other health issue I was battling, and they were able to figure out what was going on, and with some medicine adjustments I am feeling great.
My next struggle that needs to be tackled with more vim and vigor is my weight, and I do intend to post weight loss here, I sure hope it helps me to feel accountable, I have tried to lose weight before and actually lose weight fairly easily, but I must say I let myself get away with things too often. But like in all things a person must have grace, and therefore I am going to extend that to myself this time, and forget the tries of the past, but not the knowledge I have gained from it, and try again. I have created a kind of eating plan that I think will work for me, but I am far from an expert so I am willing to learn as I go.
One of the great unexpected joys in my life has been my job. I have been so fortunate to work in an enviroment where both personal growth and professional growth are encouraged. And to support that fact, I am going to be starting a new position at work, in addition to my old position. I am very excited, and also proud of myself. It may be a small victory, but it still deserves to be celebrated.
I am going to end this post by saying something that I have heard by a great author, and that is "Extend acts of kindness, asking for nothing in return." Live a life with service to others, what joy there is in that!
Have a great day!

My First Step...
Tomorrow I start my journey. It has been a long time in coming, but it is my turn to take care of myself. I can't say everyday will be fun, or inspiring. I know there is a long road ahead of me, but I can do it. I have weight to lose, self esteem to gain, and life to grab a hold of.
