(I can’t believe it’s our 7th Wedding Anniversary!)
Happy Anniversary 2024
Dear Husband, I have to take this moment to tell you how excited I am to know that we have weathered the storms with each other for the last seven years! You have stood by me so many times when I needed your support and love and I am thankful to God that He brought you into my life.
I love you to the moon and back and I can see that we are on our way into the next level in our lives. With God in the center of our marriage, I know we will continue to grow and flourish.
I’ve been busy doing my arts & crafts and I am so thankful for the distraction.
Distraction from what?
Worrying about my Diabetes and trying to keep my BS in check.
I used to spend hours a day reading, but that was a long time ago. I’m trying to get back into that though. As far as my crafting, I’m just making things to hang around the house. I love checking out Pinterest for ideas!

I also started back in therapy yesterday. We had a great first session and I will see her again in a few weeks. I feel like she will be able to help me ease some of my anxiety and get on track with my health.
It takes a lot to admit to yourself that you failed; or that you really weren’t doing your best. Personal growth is not an easy endeavor. It makes you take a hard look at yourself, and once you figure out the millions of things that are wrong with you, then the uphill struggle to improve those things is long and hard.
One thing I have learned is that I have to have patience with myself. It’s so easy to get down on myself and obsess about how far I have to go, but look at how far I have gone! Real growth takes time.
Lord, you know my heart and the things that I need help with. I know you have already given me the strength I need to complete them and now it’s just up to me.
If there is anyone else out there struggling to be a better version of themselves, just know that you’re not alone. Let’s take this one day at a time. Smile on the outside until you feel it on the inside!
What a month November has been! It went by really fast, but it was a great month for me. My son turned 26 and I turned 52! What a blessing! My hubby took me to Chocktaw Casino for the weekend and we had a blast! We didn’t win much, but it was a great getaway!

I can’t believe that the year is almost over! I’m so grateful to still be “in the land of the living”, like the old folks used to say!
Aside from birthdays, not too much has been happening.
It’s a great thing when you realize you don’t have drama and chaos in your life. I have a wonderful life and I thank God for it everyday!
I know it’s been a few minutes since my last post, so please forgive me. I’m trying to put more focus into actually getting things done instead of writing about them. LOL Cheer me on!!
Right now, I’m trying to really pay attention to what I’m eating. Being a diabetic is hard and it feels like even if I try to eat “better” I’m still eating wrong for a diabetic. It feels like a no-win situation. If I try to eat “less”, it’s ok but I’m still eating too many carbs. For example: a sandwich.
All I can do is my best. God knows my heart and I really am trying to do better. Aside from my food issues, let’s talk about my Netflix time! Yes, I am still stuck on series…
I just finished watching Fall of the House of Usher. OMG, what a series!! It was so easy to get into considering how they started, with the main character going back in time. Some things really rubbed me the wrong way in Episode 2 with the club scene and the satanic sounding music and lyrics! That was a bit much, but after that, it began to flow and I got into it.

I was also going back and watching the old seasons of Love is Blind. Season 2 with Shake! OMG, that was by far the best season! I also checked out Surviving Paradise. This one was really good and I definitely had some folks on there that made my blood boil every time they were on screen! One word: Tabitha!!
Right now, I’m watching Love in the Wild. I’m in the middle of it right now and so far, I like it. Not sure if it will be one of my favorites, but I’m enjoying it. Next on my list is Six Feet Under and The Family Business.
Let me know what you think of these if you have watched any!
