Five Years Ago ~ What a difference!

 March 27, 2016

Went to a lot of places yesterday, first I went to an art exhibit that was put on by the Hart School District in Santa Clarita, Ca., I saw some amazing stuff, then went to view an apartment that we were accepted at and we were not happy with it, then we headed to Burbank and picked my mom up to take her out to dinner. Sadly she wasn't feeling well but she did enjoy herself. After we dropped her off we headed over to visit my little sister. We stayed there until 8:00pm. Then we went to The Americana in Glendale, Ca., and we had a great time. We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for (of course) cheesecake. We left there around 10:30pm got home around 12:30pm and fell asleep around 1:90am. I will definitely revisit the Americana probably earlier in the day so I can see everything. They have a big beautiful musical water fountain. We all had a great time. Now back to packing and our continued adventure to find a place to live! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

Happy 82nd Birthday MOM!

February 25, 2016

Today I took the day off to go visit my mom. Today she turned 82 and I love her so much. I don't get to see her much as I want to. I don't have a vehicle so I use my daughters when it's available. So it just so happens that my daughter had a test to take for a job opportunity in Valencia, CA and my mom lives in Burbank so we left early and picked up my mom and took her out to breakfast. Then we had to take her home. Our visit was short and sweet and I'll cherish what time I got to spend with her. Below is me to the left, my mom Judy and my daughter Jamie.

  

I don't know how much time I have left to make memories with my mom but I'm going to do my best to make as many as I can before she leaves this world. Have a blessed day! Spark-on

 Happy New Year to me! Starting my year off in the GREEN!!! The scale is moving in the right direction! This is going to be my year to see more of the green! This lifestyle is not something you start off in the beginning of the year, it’s a lifestyle change that you live throughout your life!

Update:

This year thus far has not honestly been my year. I have flip flopped between 186-190 for the last 6 months. I honestly want to get back to this number and below.

 

There are just some things that are worth more in life!

How much I weigh: 244.4 4. 

List one thing I changed, gave up or lessened: I gave up my hot white chocolate mocha and 2 cheeseburgers to a lady who needed it way more than me. 

How I feel: I feel tired, irritated, exhausted, sore and a little discouraged.

 Say something positive: It is a good thing to give freely! 

Scripture: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 9. 

Did you learn anything new today: Yes, when I took the time to forget about all that was going on with me and I set out to give to some unfortunate soul, which put a grateful smile on her lips...stirred a renewed joy in my spirit. 

It Feels Good to Give!

How much I weigh: 243.8 4. 

my daughter and I went to Black Angus for lunch and we not only split most our meals but we saved enough from both our plates to have a second dinner. Also our meal came with a dessert and we had it fixed to take home and we took small pieces of it and we will have it for 2 other desserts for another day. 

It feels good to give. 

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 9
