Hubby is Home!!!

I feel such a relief knowing that my hubby is doing ok and that he is going to fully recover!! It has been a long process (still needs to take it easy) but we are on the right track! Now the hardest part is to make sure he doesn't do something he shouldn't do. 

He can't drive for at least two weeks, no lifting, bending, pushing for a month. He can walk but not to overdo! He us going to go crazy, having to depend on me for everything! Lol!! I keep reminding him that he needs to do everything I said because he needs to recover completely! If he wants to go back to work he has to do everything the Dr says with no exceptions! 

I'm just happy to have him home! 

Love you Chris!

Very Long Day......

Today was a ver stressful and long day!! Hubby had back surgery today and even though everything went well he had to stay overnight. I'm laying here in my bed and I can't sleep. I'm tired and I want to sleep but I just can't!! Is amazing how attached and costum you get to a person that if they are not with you in bed you just simply cannot sleep!! I need him in my bed next to me even with his snoring and his farts (Lol!!). I am so used to all of it that when I don't have it I miss it so much( I guess we can skip the farts). 

I'm glad this over and that he is on his way to recovery. This past few months have been awful on his part and on me as well. Financially, has been a struggle and emotionally has been a roller coaster of emotions!  I have to thank God because he have been with us all the step of the way!!! All right, ood night all!!!

Change....... I need to change

Last year I started a journey to lose weight due to health issues. I'm proud to say that I lost 27 lbs!!! 😀😀😀 I made some changes in my diet and I started to exercise more and to be more active. Here is were it gets bad! Some how along the way I lost sight and I stopped been active, I started eating unhealthy things and I have gained almost 10 lbs. I am so upset and disappointed of myself!! Today I got a good looking in the mirror and I have realized how disgusted I feel with my physical appearance and that is an awful feeling!! I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I told myself, if you don't like what you see, do something about it!! You are the only that can make those changes no one else would do it for you!! 

So... Starting tomorrow I'm making a small change. I'm going to start by walking on my treadmill for 30 min, I'm going to do a series of home exercises like sit-ups and squats! I will regain control again and I will start making changes in my diet and I will be healthy!! I need to find my way and stick to it!! 

Yes, I can do it! I am the key to my own success!! 

My Happy Place!

Recently I have been having problem sleeping. I go to bed at a decent time to try to get a good night rest but in the last couple nights I've been wrestling with my mind. There are so many thoughts runnin through my mind and trying to get my attention that is not letting me sleep. Last, night I went to bed at 10:30 and it was 12:06am and I was still trying to get my mind to "shut up". I stayed awake for another 1/2 hour before I finall was able to fall asleep. 

This mornin I was talking to a friend at work and I was telling her my struggles with my mind and how I was not a able to fall asleep or that I woul wake up in the middle of the night and my mind would start racing. She gave a very wise suggestion, she said to me, you need to go to "your happy place". At first I was like, what are you talking about. She proceeds to explain to me that I should think of a place that makes me happy and that I should go there when ever I experienced the racing thoughts in my mind. That would helping regain control of the situation and it would take my mind away from all the worries that are causing my "racing thoughts ". She have COPD,  so every time she can't catch her breath and she is feeling like she is freaking out she will go to "her plac " and she will start to feel better instantly!

I just looked at her and thanked her for her bright suggestion and I went back to my office. There I starter thinking about what could be "my happy place". I went through all the possible choices and I finally found "my happy place". What it is? Well.... My happy place... is home on Christmas morning! 

 I always remember how happy I was growing up and waking up on Christmas morning! Running with my sister and brother to see if Santa had left anything under the tree. How my Mom will turned on the Christmas music on an old organ that my dad bought to "learn how to play it" (he never did learn). All of us gathering in the kitchen to make breakfast! That is "My Happy Place". 

I hope that you can apply this to your life and that you too can find "Your Happy Place".

Good night!!
