Eat That Frog

[holdingon]

Well, you gave me some EASY examples!! Yea... can I hijack here?

1. I am still a size 2 from the hard earned weight loss from my Hs trauma. But, I have augmented my small shape with exercise and now have a hard body. Weight is not important, as long as I can continue to wear my sexy stretch jeans and fit into a bikini this summer.

2. My H gave me a beautiful car at the end of 2003 and it looks the same as it did then because I have taken immaculate care of it and instructed my kids to do so, too.

3. In the beautiful car we have taken some awesome road trips to see our beautiful country and bonded well before my oldest son is too independent and off to college.

4. I have taken the test and become a certified teacher. I am looking into teaching Science in high school. I have maintained my professional license and am doing some volunteer work to brush up on my knowledge and skills.

5. I am doing the hobbies that I love, including rug hooking. I have finished the Statue of Liberty rug for my entry. I have hung up all the pictures that I want to and organized the garage. I have redone the guest bathroom. I still go to hooking every other week and commune with the wonderful women there.

6. I continue to pray each morning (okay, all day), read my Bible daily and participate in Sunday School, my small group, my reunion group and Bible Study Fellowship. I maintain these friendships by calling, helping and listening to these Christian friends. I listen to their advice, too. I keep working on talking to the kids about he Golden Rule and the wonder of Jesus Christ.

7. I continue to volunteer and am making sure that others know I am available to volunteer to help out when needed.

8. I am planning many social events for my family, including the theater. I am a great entertainer and people know my house as somewhere fun to come home to.

9. I am a true Fly lady and feel good about my home. My kids know about 15 minutes and are good about picking up after themselves. They are learning to do their laundry and to help with dinner. My garden is full of zinnias that I cut and have throughout the house with plenty left over for the neighbors. The neighbors are hiding when I bring them more vegetables and herbs with recipes to use the veggies and herbs with. They are NOT asking to come over and use the pool, however...

10. My H is home and glad to be here. We have a loving, warm relationship that is so much more alive and well than it ever was before. He is comfortable spending time at home and out with his friends and hobbies. We have a warm, loving R with our kids, who know what happened and what true love really is. He no longer wonders if I am acting nice, but knows that I have changed into a warm, loving person who realizes the importance of God, forgiveness, and love in her life.
