3 in 30: April {week 3}

April's goals...
Write and mail someone a letter/card each week.
Done!  I am enjoying these few minutes each week, returning to the good ol' days of pen and paper communication!  Try it sometime for yourself...it brings happiness to your day.
Make a new recipe at least once a week.
Made a 7 Layer Taco Dip last night for dinner...I always seem to make a variation to the recipe.  No one likes black olives around our house, so I omitted them, but added shredded lettuce.  7 layers are 7 layers, no matter what the layers are, right?  :)
Part 2 of Proverbs 31...verses 17 & 27
"She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks...She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."
An attitude check continues to make improvements in my daily choices.  Things are getting done more quickly and with a happier heart because I'm focusing on pleasing God more than the task itself.  It has made a difference.

    Janet Rose, you just made me hungry for nachos, LOL! I am trying to make one new recipe a month.

    I tried one this week, with hamburger and noodles & tomatoes & cheese in the beanpot but I wasn't thrilled with it. Sigh. I'll try it again.

    Good progress on your goals!

    Wow, these are fabulous goals and you are doing fantastic meeting them!

    Can I just insert how much I appreciate the pen and paper correspondence? Whether I am the sender or the receiver...there is just something so nice about paper mail.

    A new recipe a week sounds fun. I love trying new recipes, but haven't done the necessary planning lately.

    Janet, Thanks so much for dropping by....and I love your goals and accomplishments! I can't wait to finish 'organizing' so I can move on to a few of the things you are working on!

    BTW, I'm in GA, too! Just north of the ATL. Are you attending GHEA in May?

it's not about me

I reminded myself of this recently. It's not about me at all, this wellness journey I am on to a healhier version of myself. Not at all. Never has been, really. It is about the people who invest in me. My husband. My boys. My family. My friends. They all share themselves with me. When I am not at my best, I'm not giving them a good return for their investment. They get the tired looks, the lack of energy excuses, and the wimpy "maybe next time" cop outs. I have come to realize that those that take precious time to invest in me deserve better from me. I need to adhere to the direction given on any flight I've ever been on that goes something like this: make sure your own oxygen mask is properly secured before helping others. If I don't take care of myself first, my ability to care for others effectively diminishes quickly. My choosing clean eating, drinking enough water, and exercising on a daily basis is how I put on my mask first. Am I perfect at meetin...

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...
