Tiger's Blood

Hi Blogland!

As is standard, another weekend has come and gone.  I've been sicker than a dog all weekend, so it wasn't super eventful for me.  But I still wanted to write a post because today has been a really beautiful day and I am feeling hopeful right now...

I just paid all of my bills.  I love/hate paying bills.  I love to pay them and get them out of the way and it feels good to see the amount of money I owe go down a little each month...but I also hate paying bills because let's face it- it leaves me with no money and I'm poor.  I hate it!  But it feels good to be able to pay my bills; I am so grateful I have a job.  I am surprised with myself because as I sat here and balanced my checkbook- I realized- I'm doing a little better than I thought I was.  I have another credit card that is close to getting paid off...one to two more payments and it's history!  I have a little money saved in the bank; not much- but something.  Woot!  I am attempting to save!  That (paying bills) got me going...

I also called that company to follow up and see where I stand.  Of course I got sent straight to voicemail.  It's fine, at least I got the nerve to call and leave a message.  I am somewhat hopeful that the guy I was interviewing with will call me back and let me know what's happening...

I have also been sick all weekend and my weight is finally coming back down.  I weighed in barely..BARELY under the 140's again this morning (for the first time in a month?) and it felt so good to see the 139's again.  I prefer the 130's to the 140's...

So yeah, life is coming along.  I've been thinking a lot lately about hope, action, and in what direction I want to go with my life.  I am excited and hopeful for what my future holds for me at the moment.  I am peaceful and grateful for my life- for the stability of it, and for God for giving me that stability and also helping me recognize my blessings and my successes.  Even though every day is a battle, as Charlie Sheen would say- today I'm winning! (Is he nutso or is it me?)

What are you grateful for??

XOXO-
