Sorry I'm late.

Sorry I'm late.

Optimistic people all have one thing in common. They're always late.

The further I got into this article, (not written by me...) the more interested I got. Because you see, I'm ALWAYS late. For real.
If I'm on time, you can bet that it's because my husband drove.

It turns out though, late people are actually the best people ever. They're optimistic and hopeful.
I'm not just saying this because I'm always late either... well, okay maybe that's partly why.

Anyway....

"They believe they can fit more tasks into a limited amount of time than other people and thrive when they're multitasking. Simply put, they're fundamentally hopeful."

They think Big.

"People who are habitually late don't sweat the small stuff; they concentrate on the big picture and see the future as full of infinite possibilities."

Late people just get it.

"People with a tendency for tardiness like to stop and smell the roses... Life was never meant to be planned down to the last detail. That signifies an inability to enjoy the moment."

I have never felt proud to be a chronically late person.
Because ..... late people are the worst. 



So they say.
But, we are. Right?

My husband gets frustrated with me all the time... my friends know to just tell me 30 minutes later than the actual time so that I'm actually on time.
It's a wonder I can function in life huh? Ha.

So my day goes like this.... I get up, I go to the gym, I come home and run, I have devotional, I spend time with my dog, I fix breakfast, I shower, I get ready... my time, is, well, immaculate right now...

Then, I start some clothes, then I forgot I didn't water the garden, then I check my phone. Next thing I know, I should have left the house 5 minutes ago.

It's called distracted or... modern people call it A.D.D. 

Call it what it is... But I am a fun person, and I hardly ever have a plan. 
I love life, and my heart is full!

My husband, my dear husband ... always has a plan. He actually has a back up plan to the back up plan of the original plan.
But even he has to admit, we've seen some of the BEST things in this life, on detours..... or, when I got us lost because I didn't google map it before my cell signal went out. #Detours

Can we talk about friends?

And trying to impress people we don't like? Dave Ramsey has this great quote: "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like." I don't necessarily do the money part, but a few things have happened in the past month that created a huge "Woah" moment for me! For years, I have wondered why certain neighbors don't ask me and my husband to hang out more. I would get upset to find out there was a gathering that we weren't invited to. Of course, when I do have the chance to talk to these people, I realize that I don't have much in common with them, or we just don't "jive." But still. For years, I have wondered why certain groups of friends gather and hang out, and I wouldn't be invited. Of course, when I did have a chance to gather and hang out, I didn't exactly enjoy myself or feel comfortable. But still. Recently, I realized someone unfriended me on Facebook. Someo

Plant base

Okay... Okay. Before I get into the details. Here's my disclaimer. We are not 'Vegan' we are not 'Vegetarians'. We are on a plant based 'diet' for 2 weeks. We're testing the waters. We've watched a few shows, we've read several stats, and we've done some of our own research, we've heard first hand testimonies. So, we're trying it out. Day 3 is almost complete. I haven't felt bloated. And I have slept SO well. As soon as this week hits, I will go without alcohol too. So that added in, I think is going to amp up weight loss too. I do know that alcohol sabotages my weight loss. So I will cut that out too. However, weight loss isn't the goal of trying out plant base dieting. The goal is health. I was to be healthy on the inside as well as looking healthy on the outside. I can't wait to share results as they come!

It felt like someone had taken my heart out of my chest, threw it up against a wall, let it fall to the ground and then stomped on it while it was on the floor. The 2nd round felt like my heart had never really been put back where it goes, and someone played soccer with it where it fell out before. I'm not sure I can describe how much I hurt in any other way. But I can tell you now, a couple weeks later. I know I'm going to be okay. Because this isn't about me. I know as a Christian I am to love others, as I love myself. I know I am to forgive, as I have been forgiven. Those two features don't come very easy. Like, at all. I want to share all these things about how I cannot stand my ex husband, and his wife. But this isn't about them either. My youngest boy has expressed wanting to live with this father. Visiting me, and living there. This is the same guy who has a felony DUI charge because he put my two boys in the car with him and drove while under
