Day 2

I have decided that today is going to be a good day. It does not matter that I feel like I have been hit by a truck, and I am exhausted....it is going to be a good day, it is Friday after all.
I have so much to be thankful for, so that will be the inspiration for today's positive outlook.

I am really looking forward to the weekend, I love when the hubby and kiddos are home. We enjoy our family time, whether it is going on a trip, or a lazy day at home where we do not get out of our pj's. This weekend however it is going to be cold, much colder than normal for Florida...I am loving it, reminds me of KY right before a snow. Although days like today do make me realize just how much I miss the rolling hills, and snow covered trees of KY.

I was told by some that I should not do this blog, that I should not put something so personal out on the internet for people to see, I do not know how to feel about that. I think that if someone reads about me and it helps them to feel better about themselves, or understand things more clearly, then I have accomplished what I am trying to do....

I guess I should tell you a little more about me....I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend, soul mate, and a great father. my 2 children are the light of my life...they are my reason for living.

I also have Lupus, which is an autoimmune disorder, where my body attacks itself. It is often called a silent diesease, it is hard to diagnose, and even harder to treat. Lots of blood draws, DR's, and different meds....YUCK!!!!

Well, I guess it is off here to do a little exercise, and finish dinner, beef roast and vegetables in the crock pot.

I am new at this....

I am new at Blogging, but it was recomended to me by a freind as an outlet.

I am a daughter, a mother, a sister, a wife, an aunt, and I have lost my identity along the way.

I am hoping that thru this blog, I will find me again...

I have discovered many things about me thru my journey of life so far. I have learned that on some days I really like the person that I am, and that on others I do not. Thru this blog, I hope to learn how to like myself all of the time.

I am going to try to write everyday in this, as sort of an online diary of sorts.

So for today, I would just like to introduce myself, and set a few goals.

Goals
1. To maintain a healthier lifestyle this year, and lose 30 pounds.
2. To become not only a better partner to my husband, but a mother to my children, and a daughter to my parents.
3. To learn to like myself more.

This is officially day one of my online journey to complete these goals.
