Long Day! Just got home and unpacked 1/2 an hour ago. Long trip. Started the day with the manly breakfast (and my stomach survived.... barely). Went to church and saw many wonderful friends and neighbors that I haven't seen for a while. They are all so kind. The talks were good and certainly caused me to reflect in my own life. Even people who don't believe in God could benefit from attending a church just for the sole purpose of retroflection (yes, I made up the word). When we get to the point that we know it all or don't need anyone's help, we start boxing ourself in with walls that restrict both our minds and hearts.
Okay, so after church I warmed up the elk steak- veggie stir-fry from last night and we still had green salad with shrimp left as well. Had the stir-fry on rice and baked one of Greg's favorite desserts-- upside down pineapple cake (240 per serving). It was 2:00 before we ate so we didn't eat dinner... just lunch and cake so plenty of calories anyway! Greg did make his Sunday cookies so we could do our "cookie walk" and it was a nice day for a walk. After the cake we needed to walk! Cookie walks are something we started a couple summers ago and really enjoy doing as a couple. We just randomly walk around (or sometimes drive around) and hand out ziplocs of cookies to our neighbors and sometimes we have someone specific in mind. It's great to visit others and it's fun to walk hand-in-hand. That never gets old.
Well it's late and tomorrow's MOnday... ugh. Good thing I have coach Jackie (a.k.a sunshine girl) for tomorrow. I'll need it!
Well I became a statistic this summer. Eating out too much has made me gain back some weight. The husband has spoiled me way too much and we've been eating out too much. I have done some things well this summer though. I have reconnected with cousins and other family members, spent time with friends, and made some trips that were enjoyable and relaxing. I have taken the time to smell the roses and see the sunrises. Now if I can just cut back on the sweets during all this happiness! :D
