I Feel Rich Today

My husband arrived home safely last night. Things are back to normal here. (Although I will admit that a 3-day break does an almost 20-year marriage good now and then.) It's good to have him home.

I called one of my sisters last night. It was her birthday. We talked for three hours. I'm not very close with her at all, but we just really clicked last night.

I've been reading blogs this afternoon--there are a lot of really great people out there on this journey. I am so honored that these people read my blog.

I just ate a large salad and it was so good and I felt so satisfied. The Fiber One cottage cheese and 9 grams of sunflower seeds does the trick. Three veggies marked off today.

I did Sweatin' 4 again today, and I feel so fantastic that I can do it.

My son is happy. My dogs are happy. My husband is happy. I'm happy.

Life is good. I do feel rich. Last year was such a hard year with so much grieving, dealing with awful things, dealing with people I didn't want to deal with, illnesses, hospitalizations...the cloud started lifting earlier this year, but finally, finally we have clear skies and lots of sunshine.

    Thanks, guys.

    Kelly, yes. My Wal-mart sells Fiber One cottage cheese, and it's 1 point for 1/2 cup. I eat it every day!
