Happy New Year!!``

Everyone who knows me, knows that beyond any doubt that I HATE CHRISTMAS!! My favorite day of the year is New Years Day. I love this day, Christmas is over, all the stores are open, I stayed up late the night before and don't feel guilty about it, I get to eat greens and black eyed peas and most of all I get to spend it with my family, no strings attached. No pressures of gifts like at Christmas, no big meal planned to stress about, just the hope and promise of a new beginning. Happy New Year!!

I know that sometimes the road is full of bumps and turns that make us feel like we will never reach the end...but if we stay on the right path we will, one day! Be strong and know that God is there for you whenever you need someone to talk to! (I am also here if you want to email elisabeth.mundy@gmail.com)

Every relationship in your life is a current moving you toward your dreams or away from them. Not all friendships should be given the same value. You must recognize which ones are making deposits into your life and which ones are making withdrawals. Which ones increase you and which ones decrease you. Which ones feed you and which ones feed off of you. There are four types of people in your life: those who add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Your responsibility is to get away from those who are constantly criticizing, whining and complaining. Get close to those who add and multiply to your life, those who support you,encourage you, pray for you, coach you and even correct you. Avoid relationships with those who do not discern your worth.

Things I can do instead of eating

brush my teeth (who wants to eat with freshly brushed teeth?)
call someone
CATCH UP ON MY PAPERWORK! (I really should be doing this anyway)
clean or organize something (I can get so caught up in getting something just right i forget about food)
clean out the birdbaths (I'll have the cleanest birdbaths in NE FL)
drink water (this is suppose to make me feel full anyway)
go lay in the hammock (this is so relaxing)
meditation or devotions
paint my nails (can't do anything, including eating, with wet nails)
play with the doggies (my babies are so full of energy!)
read (not my favorite thing to do)
sew ( I LOVE to sew, i could sit at my sewing table for hours and hours)
surf the net
sweep my porch (the leaves constantly are falling)
take a walk (and its good exercise)
