Did you know that this is the 100th day of the year. I only realized that because it said so on my Bible reading in a year app.
My word for this year has been DETERMINED and I've been silently successful in that. I say silently because this blog is the only place I share my word of the year. It's not discussed in my home or with friends. No reason for that, it's just something that's between me and God and shared on this blog for the sake of remembrance and reflection. Have I been successful at staying determined? I'd say slightly so. I've been determined to get better in my faith, in my commitment to family, and to getting healthier. As for my health I've let it slip but I'm getting right back up. I may have added a few extra pounds since the beginning of the year but it's not the end. For me, it's not about the numbers on the scale, it's about trying to prevent those generational curses. It's about learning how to protect the body that God has given to me while I live on this earth. Ugh, it's not easy. Not easy at all. But I'm determined.
It's also National Siblings Day! I already wrote about them briefly on Wednesday but here's another picture. The one from Christmas of 2019. The last time I was on Long Island for my sister's Christmas Eve family party. I'm grateful for them and I pray for them. I'm the youngest and was always known to be very different from them. My sisters were always the stylish ones surrounded by a ton of friends. My brother has always been the chill one. I'm the weirdo of the bunch and that's okay with me.
It's a nice spring day outside, reaching the mid 70's today. I may go out and pull some weeds and maybe get started on the lawn mowing, the first one for this year. My mind is prepping for next month's gardening and I cannot wait for that.
I stepped outside and caught the dog and her muddy paws sunbathing on the deck. She's a silly one. A perfect match for my weirdness, for sure.
Enjoy the weekend, my friends! Wishing you many, many blessings!
Enjoy the day and the weekend. Wow, 100 days already! 💯
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making steady progress with your word for the year. I think that is worth celebrating:) My focus on my word this year comes and goes. Thinking about it in terms of the impact it is making on me this year...well, I need to do that more. I mean, that is the purpose of having one, right? Great photo of you and your siblings. Happy Friday, friend!
ReplyDeleteI tossed the scales years ago, where weight is concerned I go by how clothes fit
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe we are already 100 days into the year, but what a great milestone to check in on your word. Staying determined is a daily choice, especially when it comes to faith and health, and getting right back up after a slip is the most important part of the journey. Protecting the body we were given is definitely a challenge, but you have the right heart about it!
ReplyDeleteHello! You are your siblings are all beautiful! And given the choice, I pick weird every time! It's who I am! You, my friend, are awesome just the way you are!
