Today I was Blog Hopping through our great Community VoiceBoks and I stumbled upon this great post on, F.L.A.Gand her post about her Gratitude Journal.
During life's trials and despite my tears or sorrows, I have tried to find the things that I am grateful for. Doing so almost always gets me out of that slump!
In the movie below, Attitude is Everything by Vicki Hitzges, (make sure you have the sound on!), it says, "Count your blessings and jot them down". "Feeling Gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it" by William Arthur Ward
How true is that? How many presents do we have stored away already wrapped? Get them out and write your Journals or Gratitude Lists, only then can we see the gifts that are already in our lives!

Well got to go, my grand babies and daughter-in-law are here and I am so grateful! Until next time!
One of my nursing jobs a few years ago was working for a disability agency here in my state. As one of the Occupational Nurse Consultants I had to review disability applications and make a determination whether to approve or deny the applicant for disability.
Over time as I was going through these applications I started to see an unofficial trend. A good number of these conditions were either caused or exacerbated by obesity. Some of the many diagnoses were either cardiovascular/circulatory, pulmonary, endocrine (diabetes), digestive, musculoskeletal (hips, knees), immune or nervous systems disorders.
You can visit Centers for Disease Control for more information, however here is a quick picture of the obesity phenomenon in America from 1990 to 2009. Please watch this video where Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, in the Division of Endocrinology, Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health Program at UCSF, discusses Sugar: The Bitter Truth
As for me, I have been struggling with my weight for over two years now. You can follow my weight loss progress on the Shaking Off My Booty! tab on top! I would love any comments or support you would like to share!
