I made these icads (index card a day) way ahead of any thought of this post! They were done completely separately at different times with different trains of thought! I had no idea how well they would marry with my words! A very interesting process!

I was married young. I left my home with a brand new television as a wedding gift, and the clothes on my back. Later down the road I was given my piano! Everything else I earned!
As a child it was a privilege to have a second hand bike, each night it was carefully put away. We valued the little we had and nothing was left out! Every car I've owned I valued, keeping it clean inside and out!! Which got harder once a child came into the picture!! Still I have always respected what I am blessed to have.

I said a prayer of thanks everyday as I walked through the door of dream kitchen in my former home! I revered it and kept it clean and tidy! I felt so extremely fortunate that I could own something so beautiful! Many meals were prepared with love. Meals that were not always appreciated the way they should have been. To this day I am sure to thank anyone who serves me several times, so they know how their love, thought, and hard work preparing is appreciated!

As things broke down that I couldn't afford to fix I was sure to feel grateful for what I did have! Keeping it the best I could. Daily we hear of people put out of their homes due to floods, fire, hurricanes. Each time I feel extreme sadness for them, I also feel extreme gratitude for what I do have!

However the one thing I probably never respected enough was myself. Over the years I often replaced work and serving others, with sleep. I developed early and was always a big looking kid even though I am only 5 feet 4 inches! I was never as big as I thought I was, until I was bigger than I thought I was!! For so many years my wear your feelings on your sleeve were anesthetized with a good meal, or a doughnut.

I am not a compulsive eater that gorges, I have had to eat more food now than I have ever been used to. I just have terrible eating habits time wise. Sometimes I never eat until mid afternoon...and grab whatever is closest in the fridge. Now I start the morning with a green monster courtesy of Cupcake who makes us all one, and brings it to me. I continue on with only healthy choices. It's been great! This is not about weight, it's about health! Any weight loss will be a bonus!! I am respecting the process...and my support team!
