So Behind!

Oh my, I can't believe how behind I am on this.

Anyhow, I am going to try to keep it up, starting today (famous last words!)

To recap, my reasons to start this blog have been to share what I do, my work, but also about our family, and my beliefs. Although we are not close to being rich, we are VERY blessed and I'm so thankful for my life, my family, my friends, and my faith.

Today I laid down to take a quick nap at about 6:00 pm, and slept till almost midnight! My goodness...this has been such a busy week, I just needed the rest I guess. We are trying to get the garden ready for planting, and I have planted a lot of seeds indoors to get them started. Our hopes are to sell at the farmer's market this year.

I'm so thankful each week for Shabbat...if we didn't have the commandment to rest on this day I think I'd be so burnt out I would have crashed long ago. It is a commandment I've had to fight hard not to break, it is so not in me to just rest. I am the type of person who has to be doing 3 things at once or I feel I'm wasting time.

I wanted to report, that since January 1st, I have lost 44 pounds!! It has been a long struggle, but I am so thankful that I was able to do it. I would still like to lose about 25 more, and as I get closer to my goal it is getting harder and harder...I only lost 1 pound this week. But more importantly, I'm getting healthier, feeling better, and eating foods that are so much beneficial to me.

Also, our family each have a "YahSpace" page now. Here's the link to mine: http://yahspace.ning.com/profile/NancyB

Not much there yet, but I am enjoying talking with other people who have similar beliefs, and there are a few groups about healthy eating, gardening, etc, which I have joined that are really interesting.

Well, hope to pop in here once every couple of days to update! Will write more soon!
