Golden List: Repeat Topic

-
This should be repeated a LOT. Today, I need to tell my soul to look up. So, for those who aren't familiar with a "golden List" it comes from the book called "The Ultimate Gift" but follows after an older command; that of being thankful!! The Golden List is a practice of thinking of at least TEN things that you are thankful for EVERYDAY... preferrably BEFORE rolling out of bed. Well, I didn't exactly think of doing this at 5:27AM this morning, it was more like... "oh I hope i have another hour to sleep..." Nope. 3 minutes until my alarm would go off... my day started.

So... it is a little late in the day, but I need to do this. If you want to join me, add at least ONE thing You are thankful for in the comments section.

1. Good health
2. A quiet moment to reflect
3. A break from school
4. A road trip this weekend!!
5. Time with sweet friends this weekend!!
6. my skin looks good today... (okay, random, but I like it when my skin looks bright and fresh, no rudiness)
7. my job
8. Lots of fun things happening in the next 10 days... starting today!
9. my happy dog (you should see how happy she is when i throw a ball w/ her... it's like she is thinking, "This is the BEST DAY EVER!" when I take the time to toss her a few throws! It always makes me smile.)
10. Good friends

Okay... Your turn. :-) I want to hear from you... ESPECIALLY if you have NEVER posted a comment before... i promise, it doesn't hurt and it WILL make my day! AND I am THANKFUL for that!

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...
