These thoughts have been at the top of my mind lately:
1) Food doesn't taste as good as thin feels. (Fellow competitor in the Obsidian Challenge)
So true, except for maybe tzaziki and flat bread. My goal this year is to lose another 15 lbs.
2) If it's to be, it's up to me. (Thanks, Linda.)
I'm going to apply this thought to playdates. I'm so darned bad at them. I feel bad for my kiddos.
3) If we're not happy with what we have, we won't be ever happy with what we get. (Thanks, Liz.)
I will remind myself of this thought when I feel I need more scrapbooking supplies! :-)
4) It doesn't matter who we aren't when we know who we are. (Thanks, Linda.)
One of my goals for this year is to especially work on number four. I have always struggled with liking myself, and I'm darn tired of it! It really affects so many areas in my life. I'm really wanting to find out what my purpose on the earth is, yuh know?
P.S. A real deep thought by Jack Handy: "Whenever anyone says, 'I can't,' it makes me wish he would get stung by ten thousand bees. When he says, 'I'll try," five thousand bees. 'I can,' one bee.

Fun list, Nina, and I keep trying to convince myself of #1, but somehow food just keeps making its way past my lips. Maybe I need to repeat it over and over and over and over again.
Hope you're all starting to feel better.
I think the internet is a great tool ... for making us feel bad about ourselves. I see all these great women doing great things, and feel like my life pales in comparison. But then I remind myself - it doesn't matter - we each live our own lives, with different blessings, challenges, hiccups. I like the thoughts!
Christina, you are an amazing lady!! I wish you could see yourself like the rest of us do!!
Congrats on doing such a great job with your challenge. So proud of you.
