I'm Hoping

I'm hoping that this post will post today. I've been having problems with it taking and have missed several days because of this. Today will be good, i feel it!

I've been feeling very ho-hum lately. Must be all the snow outside that is forcing me to cocoon in the house. Today is 44 degrees and i will make it a priority to get out and walk around the
neighborhood. Fresh air is wonderful when you are feeling a little depressed. Exercise and fresh air for me today will refresh & energize my body and bring me back to life. I will inhale all the cool air and listen to the birds chirping while walking slowly and taking it all in.

Ive got books & DVD's due at the library. I will watch my DVD-The Leading Man with Jon Bon Jovi this week. That will cheer me.

My friend Amy stopped by over the weekend and she is always so cheerful. She says it has to do with the drugs shes on for OCD. Maybe, but i know when i talk to her she is truly interested in what is going on in my life and she will always be there to listen to me ramble. She likes to ramble too though and I think im a pretty good friend and listener.

On Saturday night Bob & Kim came over and had dinner with us. It turned out pretty good actually. Im always a little nervous that they wouldnt like what i make. But Mike assures me that i am a good cook and it turned out just fine. Mike always knows the right things to say to me when im unsure of myself. I on the other hand, insert my foot into my mouth quite often and make him feel badly. This is not how I feel but it is how it turns out and i need to change that. Mike is always doing for everyone and he doesnt know what a good husband, & father he is to us. The kids sometimes dont show the best manners in appreciating what he does and it does get to be a problem sometimes. They are getting older and hopefully wiser. I try to talk to them at their level & to make them understand how things work and how people feel. It is a lifelong struggle to keep at it. I know that God is looking over me to keep me on the right track. Im always asking for direction and listening to hear his answers. I think I am getting better at listening and being more aware of what i am supposed to do. God has a plan for me and i am trying to do what is expected of me. I pray for guidance in my everyday tasks and look for more in life to fulfill me and sustain my family. Thanks be to God!
