I found her in the Garden




I was scurrying around my gardens this morning, chasing a very busy bumblebee. Couldn't get the shot. So I sat down, a bit defeated. Looking for something pretty.
I turned around to find...ME...in the window's reflection, and I thought, yes, I am pretty. My children tell me, my husband tells me, I don't believe it most of the time, I've felt so awful for the past year or so, with my gram's passing.
I know that my grams would be proud of me for recovering from the debilitating grief that I underwent due to her death. I know she would want me to rock on. Not till I'm ready, I told everyone. I needed to cry an ocean of tears, and I'm still not done, most likely will never be. But I'm ready now to start trying.


OK ok ok soooo... ::: wipes tears ::: I'm cool. haha!



TODAY'S PLAN:


Breakfast:

Spanish omelette ( I'll probably have these 'til I'm compeletely sick of them.



Snack:

Mozzarella cheese

Cukes


Lunch:

One exact bucket of salad, I'm not making it. We're going out to lunch!


Dinner:

Cube Steaks on the grill

some kinda salad (need to look through recipes)

green beans



As it is, no sugar cravings yet, and detox has NOT been horrible. Usually, I feel flu-like symptoms, and am overcome with fatigue, but not this time. Which is verrrrrrry cool.



Today, I have to run to the glass store, I'm stocking up on my art for the Farmer's Market, taking my beautiful boy out to lunch (mebbe we'll suprise hubby), and going to Horrock's for fresh veggies.


Maybe a picnic with my Matthew.



Peace.


Karen

Nothing like a great grandmother.
I still miss both of mine after 25 years and think of them often.
I miss the lemon cakes one made once a month and going to town to help pick out crochet thread.
One loved my art work, even though it was the most awful drawn and hung it on her wall for all to see.

I wish you luck with your low carb lifestyle. My husband always has good results when following it. I didn't feel quite right on it, and have since turned to the Weight Watchers program. I find it to be easier to fit with everyday stuff and have been doing great for over 8 months now on it!
