Already?

Already??

Tomorrow is February! I am still dizzy from all the busyness around Christmas. I can’t believe it is already February. UGH!

So it is one month down and I’m making some progress on my new year goals. This week, I painted the hallway and half of my living room. It is so amazing what fresh paint can do for a room!! ((sigh)) Wish I had done this about 5 years ago. I can’t wait to display all the … [visit site to read more]

Already??

Regina — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:28:08 +0000

Do you think it is too early to be thinking about New Year’s resolutions?? I can’t stand how the stores bring out the Christmas decorations along with the Halloween. So, should I be as critical on myself for thinking about those dreaded resolutions?

Every year, I honestly try to conquer some life changing goal. Whether it is healthy eating or exercising more, I create a routine that I think I can live with…… or not. Hey, I’m just being honest. Last year, I was … [visit site to read more]

It’s That Time

Regina — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:50:33 +0000

It is that time of the year. We have made our resolutions and we are beginning forget our intentions. So here’s something to think about……

On the first of every month, reset your goals. Completely and honestly revisit what you resolved to do this year. Whether it is to manage your money, time or food better this year, just take a moment on the first of each and every month to re-evaluate. Review your progress. Make necessary changes. Eat the elephant one bite at a … [visit site to read more]

Unconventional Weight Loss

Regina — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:25:34 +0000

Oh dear, my words are coming back to haunt me. ”Check back on Monday for my weight loss plan.” I hate to disappoint you. There is no plan. I have read my heart out, researched and well I got nothing new……

In every book I read on the matter…. trust me I have a library of weight loss books….I found that there are four keys to successful weight loss:

1. Exercise

2. Balanced Diet

3. Soul Searching

4. Accountability

As unconventional as that may seem, … [visit site to read more]

Just Around the Corner

Regina — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:37:00 +0000

I just realized something…… 2009 is almost over! Where did the year go? New Year’s Day was just yesterday. Time flies…..I don’t understand that expression. The calendar ticks away at the same rate every day. We’re responsible for making time seem to slip through our fingers. Just yesterday, I chuckled at my sarcasm while telling a friend that I didn’t know how I got everything done when I worked a full time job.

Like every year before, millions begin with New Year’s … [visit site to read more]

Do I really need to explain #10?

Regina — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:05:19 +0000

Life would be so much easier if we just did rule number 10.

10. When angry, count to 10 before you speak, if really angry count a 100.

Speaks volumes! Think about … [visit site to read more]

Getting a Handle of Things with TJ: Rule #9

Regina — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:01:40 +0000

This next rule caused me to stop and to think about what TJ is telling us. Honestly, I had no idea. This led me to do some extra research. Exhausted after reading a zillion commentaries and this is what I found…..

8. Take things always by the smooth handle.

This little rule was stated by TJ in efforts to produce peace, harmony, and consolation. Apparently, wise old TJ did not like to argue.

To argue … [visit site to read more]

TJ and Grandma Cannon: Rule #7

Regina — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:04:37 +0000

Looking back over the years with my Grandmother, I find such admiration for her life and the example she was for me. In her younger days, I could picture her as the feisty, full of fun, young lady she was in the 30′s and 40′s. By the time my brother and I were around, she was living up to the “coolest” grandma title. Later in her life when her health and its toll on her emotional health was affecting her, we saw a change.

She repeatedly said to my mother and later to me after Mom’s … [visit site to read more]

Oh Thomas, Did You Have to Go There? Rule #6

Regina — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:52:57 +0000

Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!!!!! Did you have to go there? Rule number 6….. can I just say OUCH!!

6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.

Well, I guess I will have to loosen the belt on this one!! Well guess what folks, Thomas has a point here. Think back to Thanksgiving day….. Were you sorry that you ate enough for a small army? Did your waistline in your “fat” jeans remind you that you ate too much? How … [visit site to read more]

TJ #5

Regina — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:33:20 +0000

5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst, and cold.

I have been really thinking and praying about this one. Pride….. it is the ultimate downfall. Really it is….. the Bible even states it. Proverbs 16:18-19 describes pride as the beginning of destruction and a haunting fall. Pride will ultimately cost you everything. Could it be that pride will hurt you worse than starving or freezing to death? Could it be that … [visit site to read more]
