Momentum Swings...
I have been on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge for 13 days now... so far even with the bumps it has been GREAT! I had Thanksgiving and a cold right in the middle of the challenge and have still managed to lose 7 lbs!! Not too shabby if I do say so myself!

Cherish- That is an amazing word!
cher·ish
[cher-ish]verb (used with object)
1.
to hold or treat as dear.
2.
to care for tenderly; nurture: to cherish a child.
Wow, "to hold or treat as dear"! Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone had the chance to feel "cherished"?

I'm Back...
It's been a while since I have written. Life has a way of keeping me running around in circles! I don't think I could deal with boring.
What's been going on in the past few months? Well, quite honestly a ton! Of course every minute of my life is a minute to learn something new. AND I have definitely learned some big lessons.
What lessons? I am so glad you asked.
I learned that snakes can get into just about any place- even your bath tub! AND no matter how small they are, they are scary!
I learned that the $1 goop that kids get at the dollar store will end up costing you $10 in cleaning supplies to get it off of your sofa.
I learned that a dog can chew through a computer cord in mere seconds with 3 kids in the same room.
I learned that when your 16 year old starts driving is is nice to having someone to run errands for you, but be sleep becomes a lot harder to come by because waiting for them to get home is torture!
I learned that no matter how strong their mom is, little boys need strong male role models in their lives.
I learned that the more you love some one the more it hurts when they let you down.
I learned that there are some really weird people in this world and not all of them were raised like my family to have manners and understand boundaries.
I have also learned that I am actually a pretty great person just the way I am, and the people that matter accept me flaws and all!
Enjoy today September 12, 2011; it's the only one you will ever get!
~~**Wish me LOVE**~~

I woke up this morning with a new understanding about some things.
First things first- no longer will I allow myself to make someone a priority who doesn't do the same for me! I know this one seems obvious, but it's harder that you think. You can't make people change! Only they can initiate change. I am very guilty of hanging on to something based off of what could be in the future while sitting in a bad situation in the present. I get involved with someone (it doesn't have to be a boyfriend type relationship) and things are rocky from the start, but I listen to promises of love and understanding with absolutely no sign of those things right now and try to hang on until things get better. Of course a year and a half later I end up sitting in a worse situation than I started with.
I was told not long ago that I choose those types of bad relationships to protect myself because I already know that they are going to end. I struggled with that for a while, but I believe now that that may very well be true. It's kind of a defense mechanism for me. It's not going to last anyway, so why bother getting too upset about it? The worst thing about that is that you end up settling for less than what you are worth. You put up with things you know you don't deserve and in the end you have nothing to show for your pain.
My friend told me that I should visualize myself meeting genuine people and finding genuine relationships. So I'm trying it! AND I have to admit, I like it!
What I want- Someone who cares about me as much as I care about them, and shows it! Someone who respects me and is there when I need them! Someone who makes me a priority in their life and doesn't make a habit if breaking promises. Someone who refuses to talk down to me like I lack intelligence. Someone who makes an effort to see me as much as possible. Someone who makes me feel like I am the only person in a room full of people! Someone who laughs with me, hurts when I am hurt, loves me with all of their heart! .
Ok- there you have it... That's what I want! That what I'm visualizing! That's what's x-ing people off of my list! I see myself successful!
How do you know if someone genuinely loves you? Know what you want in a relationship. Set up the parameters and make clear what you like and what you don't like. If that person does something that you don't like tell them. If they continue to hurt you- let them go. If the love was genuine, they will initiate their own change because they never want to see you hurt again!
That's all I have for now! I am going to work out and help me feel good about me.
Don't settle today 6/28/2011 or any other day!
*Wish me Love!*
