Focus on What Matters

TGIF...even though I am not very thrilled about how this weekend is going.  I usually love the snow, but although I'd probably be fine, I did not and am not driving to Success School.  I'm not going to sit and cry about it [any more] it is what it is, and I just have to accept it and move on.  Right now it just isn't meant to be, and I can't be upset.  I have a lot of wonderful things in my life and starting off the new year feeling a little defeated, like I'm letting myself down, is just not OK with me.  I have baby girl's first birthday to get ready for; I'm fighting a cold, and life will go on.

Sitting here typing on my laptop, sipping tea, hoping my immunoguard kicks in....all while my husband keeps the fire going in the fireplace.  I know things could be a lot worse, but this isn't how I pictured the weekend going.  I really wanted to go to school....but sometimes you just have to stop. Breathe. And just do what you can do.  Not what you want to do.

To me? It's my health.  If I'm not feeling great, nothing falls into place.  So I do spend a good deal of time reading about things to keep me healthy and I sometimes have trouble falling asleep, and so I will watch You Tube videos.  It's weird because I watched a ton when I was pregnant and then I stopped for awhile.  Now I have found some more channels that I love, and one girl has got her act together! I don't even think she's 18 yet, and she's pretty mature.  She even shares healthy fun [and easy] recipes! I totally tried her "CinnaMug" recipe last night.  It's pretty tasty!  I hadn't tried almond flour before, and so the texture was a little more mealy "nutty" than I would have thought.  I got used to it though and actually want to make another!

I know healthy eating can get a little boring, ok eating anything the same time gets boring, who am I kidding!?  So she has some interesting little recipes here to try!
