• Sunny Days – Sunday Soliloquy

  It’s SUNDAY!!! I weighed in this morning and I lost 2 more lbs. The weight is coming off slowly… but it IS coming off. Of course… I haven’t been all that physically active with exercising lately. Been to lazy, cold, depressed… whatever. That is changing though. I feel “lighter” in my head and heart. Time to make that a more frequent and noticeable sensation for the old bod too. Tomorrow I start walking again. *Shudders* Even when it’s cold out damn it.

  I seem to have the eating sensibly part down pat. Which is good. My portions are smaller. I allow myself some “treats” here and there so I don’t get to feeling deprived. I am eating much better foods for the most part and I don’t eat NEARLY as much. I get full way faster.

  All. Good. Signs.

  

  Things seem to be looking up. Part of it is due to the new meds. Part is due to the workbook I’m using to help me understand and control the anxiety I have. Part is due to the fact that it LOOKS like the financial aid debacle at University of Phoenix is over. I am slated to begin classes again Feb. 9th. I have no idea what the rest of it is. I’m just glad things seem to be better right now. That was a long stretch of not happy and not giving a damn about anything and feeling hopeless and helpless all at the same time.

  How are all of YOU doing?

  I have always considered myself lucky in the friend department. I definitely have a few “leeches” and “fair weather friends” in the mix, but there are people who consistently shine, and who put our friendship at the top of their “Important” lists.

  Along with the friends that I have from elementary, middle, and high school, the friends I met when in the U.S. Navy, and the friends I have made in the last five years, there are the friends that I meet every day on social networks such as Plurk, Twitter, and Facebook. There are many who think that there are only posers and users online … and there are others, like myself, who have seen the kindness of these far-away friends first-hand.

  The owner of this blog, Not A Mean Girl, is one of those people. She is an instigator of good, and I love her dearly. I have seen her become immersed in helping others, to the point of starting a whole new blog for people to join together and share their stories of their attempt to lead healthier lives. She has donated funds to people, helped purchase gifts for people, and goodness knows what else.

  She is not the only one though. I have seen the kindnesses come from others, too. I do not know if I am allowed to identify them, but I would if they would let me. Beautiful people, their hearts and souls so filled with love and joy and kindness that it is overflowing and spilling into other people’s worlds.

  I consider myself lucky. Most of all, I consider myself rich in friendship and love.

  Thank you, friends, for all you do. I hope I can do in return one day.
