Sam's Food 4 Thought

 What do I wish I felt more of today? I'm not sure how to answer this today. I have had a very productive day today. We are having a family gathering here at our house tomorrow for the October birthdays and I have been cleaning and prepping. We finally got our pool ready for winter too. I also hopped on my treadmill for 25 minutes this afternoon and that felt good! It's been a while. I don't exercise very much these days and I can tell in how my body feels and how it responded to walking for 25 minutes.  I have to start somewhere right? I have been listening to 2 new podcasts and they are very motivating. They are women encouraging women but also sharing their thoughts and feelings when they are struggling.  This is refreshing to hear. Not that I want people to struggle but knowing that I'm not the only one having a rough day or feeling down or feeling overwhelmed, be willing to talk about it and vent it out and then move on. They don't have a perfect life and neith...

 I am happiest when.... This is my journal prompt question today.  I feel like this could be broken down into when I am physically doing something or when I am feeling a certain way.  So, let's break it down. I am happiest when I am playing with my little farm babies and getting love from them.  I am happiest when I am working in my flower beds, and I love seeing my flowers when they are in full bloom. The hard work and frustration have paid off. I am happiest when I am in my craft room and my creative juices are flowing and I am deep into a project.  Most of the time I get to a point where I am so deep into a project, and I have idea after idea and then.....I have to stop to either make dinner or something else not as fun.  That is very frustrating and most of the time I have a difficult time getting back into that same project.  I am happiest when everything seems right in my life, when everyone seems to be getting along, when I don't feel any fricti...

 How am I feeling today?  This is my first journal prompt question.  I attempted to answer this question earlier when I was at work.  Bad idea!  Work is probably not the place to try to add a blog post, especially when my feelings about where I work started to creep into my post and pretty soon all I was typing was Negative Nelly comments.   I am trying to figure out how to answer the question of how I feel today.  Honesty is the best medicine.  Physically I am tired and sort of sleepy. Physically I am disgusted with myself, with how I look. I've felt that way for quite a while. What can I do about it? A lot....but I struggle with being disciplined.  I know it takes a while to create a habit, and I will start and try but then it's easier for me to give in and I get lazy and basically tell myself it's ok to fall off the wagon because I can hop back on at any time. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.  But, if I don't, how am I goin...

 Good morning!  It's rainy here, but a little warm. This is my second attempt at blogging. I think I am doing this more for myself than I am to actually share it with everyone.  I'm feeling this urge to write or type....something.  Do you listen to podcasts? I started a new podcast this past week and I am addicted! Typically, I listen to True Crime/Serial Killer/Spooky podcasts, but I when I am all caught up then I feel lost because I have nothing to listen to. I'm a binge listener! lol The new podcast I started is called This Morning Walk. It's an inspirational type of podcast, which is totally out of my norm for listening, but I continued to hear it advertised while listening to one of my other podcasts and something told me I needed to check it out. I am addicted!! Podcast — This Morning Walk I started from the beginning and in the beginning, they would post journaling prompts. I feel if I had a journal prompt, I would know what to write/type about.  But that...
