Good morning.
You all know I fell of the wagon on Christmas day, and have been thinking about what can I do to deal with this addiction. While looking through my usual carnivores go to for "advice" in YouTube, I found this 4 years old video of Dr. Ken Berry that I find very useful and interesting. I hope it helps those going through the same.
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Tuesday! I am speaking at a conference here in Phoenix today for the first part of the day. I'll just have a protein tea likely on my drive up there and then I'll wait and eat when I come home later in the afternoon.
This is about the time of the month when people tend to drop off from their New Year's resolutions. It's easy to let one slip throw us off for the whole month or just give up on our goals entirely. How did things go this past weekend?
What is your one simple non-negotiable for this week that can help keep you on track for the month?
Happy mild rainy Tuesday evening Family!
Tuesdays at work are so quiet as my female co-worker has the day off and the young man co-worker is quiet. He is very intelligent and focused on his work, which is great. But I am still looking for things to do and I get a little bored & lonely. Who'd a thunk I'd miss the phone ringing ?! LOL
Not really, I'm enjoying the quiet and calm and God keeps reminding me that He is giving me this time to heal, rest and renew. And I'm still doing QuickBooks certification training. Some things I know pretty well from farm bookkeeping and past jobs but some topics I am going over for the 2nd time. At least they are paying me to do this. And yes, I've asked for more work. It's all in my Account Specialists' hands. It'll probably all hit the fan at the same time, but they can't blame me. I've asked!
Anywho... it was a damp day but I got in a walk during my morning break of 5 blocks.
And for something totally random, Any Plant Girlies (Guys) in the Family? I got 3 ...
