25 great things in my life....

So I miss, this I miss blogging.  Things are not going well in the weight department or for that matter the depression department. Don't get me wrong I am fine, I am fighting, but I don't feel the joy that I use to feel right now. I am working on it. Still going to LDS addictions program, back in group with lifestyles, trying to weigh in weekly in at the clinic, and it is STILL HARD. I wanted to update you on this journey just so you know it isn't all buttons and bows. This is hard, but I am not going to give up.

 My idea for celebrating Christmas this year just for me is to blog about  25 things great things in my life and then tomorrow I will tell you 24 great things about my life and so on...

25 - My Home my father in law, father, husband, brother in laws, brother, friends and even more family helped build it. It is small and squishy and I love it.

24 - Toilets all kinds.

23 - My toes seriously, have you ever thought about how it would suck not to have toes. Read this blog the other day and it made me grateful for my toes.

22 - Computer I  love my computer it is an Apple iMac I was always a Microsoft girl but I love my Mac.

21 - Living on a gravel road.

20 - Not living a long way from the highway. While living on a gravel road is wonderfully romantic it is nice to have a highway only a mile away from your house it is easier to run and bike on.

19 -  Having a bed.

18 - Having a down comforter on my bed.

17 - My fireplace.

16 - Reading I love reading.

15 - Staplers I don't think they get enough credit.

 14 - Sun

13 - Journals

12 - Dishwashers

11 - Paper all kinds.


10 - Canada I really can't say enough how much I love my country, and how much I love being Canadian.

9 -  Grass without thistles especially barefoot on grass mmmmmm few pleasures equal.

8 - Being from a small town.

7 - Classical music

6 - Canadian Geese announcing  the arrival of spring and the downfall of autumn.

5 - Anne of Green Gables (enough said)

4 - Shelves

3 - Teddy bears

2 - The hope and dream of adventure

1 - You yes you who ever you are I love you. I don't think you would be reading this without somewhat knowing and caring who I am. So thank you! See you tomorrow! Merry Christmas!

  3. These are all really great, but #9 is my favorite. I bet I have walked barefoot on grass just a few times since moving here and it is a total aaahhhhh moment/feeling for me. Love it.

  4. Your really something else Barb! :) You seem to make lemonade out of everything.
    I do agree with lee lee on the grass thing but I think I have to go with #10. Even though I'm not Canadian I sure love loving in Canada!
