Happy February!

-
Woah, January went fast! I am GLAD to see February come; looking over January's posts tell me I was pretty gloomy the whole month... I thought that was only suppose to last a week or so? ;-) Ah, moving forward and LOOKING forward! February gets us closer to SPRING!!! I can hardly wait to see buds on the trees, green grass and warmer temperatures!! Spring in South Carolina is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Well, I did it. My sinus's have been giving me a TIME and tonight I decided it was TIME to do something about it - the Neti Pot! You may have heard about the miraculous little contraption that makes you tilt your head to one side and pour warm saline water through one nostril, creating a fountain streaming out the other nostril!! IT REALLY WORKS!! It immediately brought me some relief too. I think I will have to do it about ten more times in the next 24 hours to flush out this thing going on in my head. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight and I won't walk around tomorrow feeling like my eyeballs are going to pop out.

You may be wondering how I am doing with the Facebook fast? Pretty good - though it is very self evident that I can find plenty other things on the internet to help me waste time. I have noticed that NOT doing facebook has forced me to cut my internet/computer time short, opening up opportunities to creatively use my time - like cutting coupons and doing homework and cleaning my room! :-) And of course... blogging.

Oh, and one more thing... THANK YOU for your comments, they make my heart smile.

TAGGED

What are you reading? Melanie at monday through sunday tagged me for this meme. The Rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. The book I am reading right now is:.....Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. A wonderful classic! "That is not the point in which faith comes in. But supposing a man's reason once decides that the weight of the evidence is for it. I can tell that man what is going to happen to him in the next few weeks. There will come a moment when there is bad news, or he is in trouble, or is living among a lot of other people who do not believe it, and all at once his emotions will rise up and carry out a sort of blitz on his belief." I don't know that many to tag!!

Psalm 62 - Find Rest, My Soul, in God Alone

My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me, I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold I’ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, Don’t set your heart upon them; The fields of hope in which I sow Are harvested in heaven. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every day pour out my soul, And He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death And I am His forever. O praise Him, hallelujah, M...

Whole30 ~ I did it!!

-

So this past month I embarked upon an adventure: I have been been doing a body-reset program called " Whole30 ".  The program is very intense, with straight-forward guidelines: basically you have NO sugar, No grains, and No dairy, for 30 days. When I first realized what it was about and what you were suppose to do, I was like " NO WAY! I could not do that! "  Yet, always the cheerleader for health and holistic living, I proclaimed to my friend who was saying she was going to do it, " I will do it with you to support you! " September 30, after 10PM I ate my last 3 Tim-Tam cookies, fully dunked in a creamy cup of tea, saying a sweet farewell to sugar, grains and dairy-laden drinks for my next 30 days!! And what an adventure it has been.... Typical Whole30 breakfast: I have always eaten eggs and coffee,  but now I was omitting cheese, toast, and cream!! ...The first 48 hours I experienced flu-like aches, crankiness, headaches, as my body screamed...
