Marshall gave me a beautiful bedspread for Christmas this year. I think he was tired of the one I made when we first got married. I don’t blame him I was getting bored too. Well it was really bulky, and I thought that if I wash and dry it, maybe it will flatten just a bit. So I did, but sadly it only made the batting stick or rather melt together. So instead of cryin, I fixed it. I unstitched the stitching holding the batting in place and pulled it all out. I turned it into a duvet. I like at a lot more now, because I can keep it out all year long now. It only took about 1 hour to fix.
We have been invited to play a few new games this past month. We found that we have a new favorite game,‘A Ticket to Ride’. We absolutely love this game. It is fast and fun and you can talk while playing and not mess up. Who knew we would find a game we liked as much as ‘hand and foot’. It is on our birthday wish list.
I have a new goal this year. I plan to read the Doctrine and Convents, Pearl of Great Price, Old Testament, and New Testament, this year. I have been working hard to read everyday, and I have to read a lot at the beginning to make the Bible manageable. I am learning a lot and am grateful that this was my goal.
Last year my doctors told me that I needed to be doing 3 things: eating healthy, exercising, and sleeping well. I was only doing the sleeping thing well. So I decided to start weight watchers. Not to lose weigh, but to learn how to eat better. I have loved what I have learned. I make better choices and am much happy because of it. I hope that what I have learned will be installed in my family. That as they grow, they start making good choices, and not the fast food choices that I love so much.
Everyone has a show that they just absolutely love to watch. I have a few I love: Dinner Impossible, Chuck, How I met your Mother, and What Not to Wear. The last show has been prety inspiring to me lately. I started watching it about 4 months ago, and it has changed my outlook on myself. I learned that first, my wardrobe sucks. Really I have been wearing the same style since high school and that was 10 years ago. Second, I have a shape and I should be dressing my shape to look the best it can. Third, with a bit of make up done right you can look amazing once you are all put together. So I studied and learned how to put on make-up and followed what they did. Small change, but I like it. Second I figured out what style or shape of clothing looks best for my body, who knew a v-neck shirt was the best. I have been trying to cover myself for the past 15 years, instead of flattering myself in a good way the assets I have. Now I am working on my wardrobe. I have replaced a few shirts and a pair of jeans and some shoes. I hope that I can have a few items that really make me feel amazing (since that is the goal on the TV show). Already I feel good about myself, just in the small changes that I have made. Instead of being stagnant I am being proactive. Proactive is the way to happiness. You have to make things happen for them to happen.So I know that life doesn’t fall into place, you have to make the effort, do the work and find what works for you. Otherwise life will be boring and unproductive.
