Victories and Struggles….
Well, at this very moment I am blogging instead of going to the multiple offices with food for going away parties. Being the last day of the month sometimes we have multiple “quitters” on this day. So we have two offices full of food that I have been invited to. I went to one and I have 1/2 a donut. My fav kind…..I am glad I was able to adhere to that…..Mary Beth also made brownies which are my favorite, and I passed them up. I have no plans to visit the second office.
On the other hand, I feel like crap…..Allergies this time of year always get to me. I will be okay once I get “used” to it again, but the first wave always hits me hard.
I am not a very religious person (most of the time)…I keep my faith between me and God, but please pray for all of those folks having financial issues right now, whether caused by the economy or not. It seems to be hitting me right now, I don’t know if it is because I feel bad or what, but I know several people with problems right now and I just wish I could help them out.
I know what you mean Lyssa. If it isn’t financial woes, it’s health woes, or family issues. I am putting out a blankeet prayer for eveyone and an extra nudge in for certain others.
Great job on passing up all the goodies, I know you have more will power than I do.
Sorry about the allergies. I got where you are coming from there too. I have been dealing with a headache for a week because of my sinuses.
We are all feeling the effects of the bad economy. I hope things gets better before it gets worse.
Great job with sticking to 1/2 a donut at the party.

Good for you on staying away from the danger areas! Love the Tigger too
Yay for ignoring the food!
It is awesome to empathize. We do what we can right? Sometimes I feel a little down about not being able to help my favorite charities like I use to (now being a student more then an employee), but I guess I could volunteer and that would mean more maybe then even money. Still it is tough to hear what is going on with the finances. *prayers for relief*
You have come a long way Lyssa and I am so proud of you for handling things the way you have (with food in particular). Keep it up. You are doing fantastic!!!
