A good friend posted something on her Facebook page this week, and it hit home.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me. Life is AWESOME. CHANGE for the Better!
I have been wanting to start to eat and live healthier for so long. I start, then immediately fail! I want this time to be different. I am almost 47 years old, and although I am medically healthy, I know I am not at a good weight! Things have got to change for the better!
Thanks Mae for helping me see the light again!

Awww…Thank you Debbie! It hit home for me too! Words can be so powerful! I love it when they speak to us, and we let them :-)
I was sitting there that morning wishing I could change my only sibling. Thinking of “how much better things would be if only I could make him change, make others change”…in retrospect that is a really silly thought, huh. I can’t spend my life wishing and waiting on others to change. I read that and I realized I truly needed to start with myself! That if I recognized my own power to change, and then added follow through, maybe a bit of friendly accountability, some inspiration…how far could I go…the possibilities became endless!
