MAY 2023!

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

Victories, Big and Small:

  • Getting more comfortable talking on video
  • Being more open and praying for God's will and timing
  • Getting back on the WW track after a week of emotional eating 
  • Officially down 40 pounds as of yesterday!

Partial Successes/Areas for Improvement:

  • Standing up for myself when I feel triggered by weight-related comments
  • Being fully obedient to God
  • I have somehow injured my back this week, and I'm trying stretches and ice and heating pads, and may be going to a chiropractor soon... but prayers appreciated for that to improve!  My "summer of strength" might be a bit delayed. lol

Memories:

  • T-man's tennis banquet + helping him apply for different jobs
  • Chet's client event + my all-day seminar + catching up with Sarah!
  • Wednesday walks with Kristin (and the presh baby turtle that joined us)
  • Swims with the Parrishes and the Whitakers
  • Helping a close friend through some family drama
  • Judge taking us for a belated bday lunch
  • Good talks and texts with Chet and Sarah

Listened To:

  • The four audiobooks mentioned HERE
  • The usual podcasts!

Lessons Learned:

  • From personal experience - Words matter.  Small criticisms and small kindnesses both have a bigger ripple effect than most people realize.
  • From personal experience - It is far easier to choose to stay on the right track or make a small realignment than to jump back on when you've totally derailed.
  • From writing a paper on group leadership - I love writing - this was our biggest paper so far, and I had fun writing it.  And I'm not certain how God will use it, but I want to grow in my leadership skills!
  • From Christine Caine - Trust that God has new and better things ahead for me, and choose to fully be here (be present) now!!
This = my last post until my next recap on June 30th.  I'm posting it a bit early since I'm closing the blog for a month.  Hope you've had a good Memorial Day, and I wish you a wonderful month ahead!!
