Time Flies

After looking through some old photos, this pictures was taken four years ago.  Time flies and my silly little babies are growing up.. (sniff, sniff).. Where's the pause button?

I Am A Quiter

About three weeks ago my husband and I watched a documentary, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. Very motivating. We started juicing that day and have noticed we feel better overall. The same day we quit smoking. Really! All on the same day. First week was easy. Second week was alright. Now I crave cigarette every moment these past couple days. I won't be around other smokers for fear I can't remain a Quiter. I wonder is this what drug addicts go through? This is so not fair. Why does smoking have to kill you? I actually enjoy smoking. This was the one thing I did once everyone was tucked away in bed and I had ten minutes to myself. I need to find an outlet to relax and unwind! I am sure more excercise is the answer. I hope I can remain a Quiter.

I didn't get flowers for Valentine's Day

Driving to work this morning in fog laden foothills I started thinking about the meaning of Valentine's Day. I am one of those people who think it is a commercial holiday for companies to make money. With that being said... in our super busy lives isn't nice to have a reminder to tell the people you cherish the most how much you love and appreciate them. So Many of us are raising a family, working a full time job, etc. that life gets in the way. Daily chores and responsibilities cloud our vision of what is truely important. I Did Not Get Flowers today but what I did get, let me re-phrase, what I do have, is a husband that gets up at 2 am everyday to go to work and waits up for me to get home from work because he wants to spend time with me. He helps the kids with homework, makes dinner, etc. to lighten my load at home. I realize today I have relationship that will continue to grow and bloom throughout our lives. So I don't have flowers to display to the world that I have Valentine but I do have a special bond with a special man. Thank you St. Valentine for this reminder.
