Never See It The Same

,

Last night hubby and I took a bit of adventure by going on a fundraiser bus trip to the local casino. we would get casino money and free buffet voucher. We aren't much of gamblers so after about an hour we went to the buffet. I grabbed the salad bowl and started the buffet down the line, looking, thinking, protein, starch carbs, proteins..etc.. Didn't even look at the dessert line. I came out ok, some cottage cheese, some beans potato salad. spoonful's mind you. I had gone to a baby shower earlier where I had had some cheese and meatballs. I probably had too much because I could still feel my throat working, so I didn't really eat much. My hubby came back with several bowls of various things, (protein, poor guy I check his plates too) and I told him I would have been right there with you weeks ago, everything looks sooo good. Since I was eating slow, I started looking around the room at all the plates, at all the overweight people, and then this woman stood up with the use of a cane,(she was overweight) and she took her tray and when down the buffet line a second time with help from her cane and the first thing that came to mind was "That could have been me". And that thought scared me. I was surprised that the thought had popped in my head and much more that I still would think that, but that was the truth of it. If I had continued with my eating habits, and adding more medicines to for the growing health problems I was having and never blaming my eating habits, that would/could have been me. And then as we were going out, some of those same people were going over to the food court. where there was more food . Anyways, we went back into the casino and the bus wasn't scheduled to come in two hours so we jumped on a bus thinking it was going back to town, but when everyone started getting off the bus when it stopped a mile down the hill we just looked at each other. we got on the wrong bus, by that time we would have needed to get back to the casino to get on the original bus we were supposed to take. Luckily there where friends on the bus that gave us a ride to where our vehicle was parked> I don't mind going back to casino sometime, but it will be awhile before I go through a buffet line again. (free or not).

** Today, for our non-profit organization we have done 4 casino bus fundraisers with 2 more scheduled so far. Still get the free buffet tickets, still look for protein. I will hit the dessert trays. I work out 4-6 days a week, I figure I can work it off. But definitely not like I used too. And we ride the same bus back!

Thoughts can become matter, and intuition.  My husband heard snickering, chortles, snorts, ok ok, my kind of person, remarks as I listened to the latest video with Caitlin. (I had my headset on) insights for myself. I hate change, I probably have only had a change of guards (guides) less times than most .but I do feel myself accepting certain changes. We tend to have such a high sense of I've probably had a white lighter for most of my life, self doubt was instilled in my from early on, and as I became stronger, so a stronger white lighter came along each time. They made me feel so guilty when I didn't follow through what they kept putting into my head. so much the guilt would eat at me. I tend to have such a high sense of justice, I question it, but I can't change it. I call myself old school, but its something more isn't it. Truth seeking, soul seeking, dancing with light/sound. Bridges to the beyond.They sound and are accepted as affirmations of myself. I have alwa...

 Been going to al-Anon meetings, as support for my son, who is in a pain right now that nobody can touch but himself and his "girlfriend". Today after two conversations with him, about going to a noon meeting. That I would pick him up and take him. I arranged to take time off, drove across town and he was still asleep. I was angry for a moment, and knew that my anger would only hurt me, I was ready to just go back to work, and thought, no, I took the time off, I can still go to the meeting and I'm glad I did. Listening to the comments of everyone, the sharing of their lives their journey.  Today the conversation was about relationships and the family dynamic. I was listening to one woman talk about her children now, and how she described them, micro-managing, everything has to be exact. How when her babies were born, there was no maternal instinct. It was raise them till they are 18, strong ready to take on the world. Oh, crap that's me! and it hit me, I am the daught...

Never Again

, December 31, 2012 My cousin has been separated from her ex for a few years and she is in her 30’s and she finally decided that it was time to start looking again. As most women, she is very particular of whom she introduces her son too. She has her standards as she calls them. Her friends are always trying to fix her up, start conversations for her. Now my cousin is not shy, just reserved. She was telling us about one occasion recently , she was at a gas station with her friend and her friend was checking out the car next to them on the other side of pump and telling my cousin, hey he’s cute, look nice car. Say something, so after a little bit more encouraging my cousin did. They had a brief conversation as one does when at gas stations. The guy says see you around, gets in his car and leans forward and breathes into a breath analyzer so his car would start! My cousin turns around to her friend and says you a...
