It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Taking Control

As I wrote earlier, I have decided to get serious about improving my self-care. I joined a gym but after only two days was called away by family needs. Now, I'm home again and back at the gym. But I need to also gain control of my ever increasing weight. I planned for that, too...

My foods from NutriSystem arrived today. I weigh in at 180 pounds and and aiming at 130. Day one has been easy and I haven't even eaten all I am supposed to yet at this late hour. I am not a bit hungry, but it may be that I am just very, very tired.

Our youngest is in town for an Army conference and we have enjoyed sharing time with her and more time with Athena and Brian as well. My brother is staying with us as he recuperates from his heart surgery. Like many men, his work has taken much of his life and he has no real hobbies so it's hard for him to sit around just getting better.

My house needs a good cleaning, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. For now, my attention is turned toward the bed.
