Diario de melissatwa, 05 ene. 22

It is hard for me to believe that I started my journey here three years ago. During that time I've had some really beautiful times and great feelings of success. A tremendous amount of stress and some injuries have slowed me down and caused me to feel I am losing my grip. My focus is so committed to other issues in life. I am trying to find balance and to learn how to again take care of myself. Taking care of others can't consume me.

I know several pounds will probably drop quickly as I settle into a more normal CICO. I wasn't even going to weigh today, because I wanted to be "on track" a few days before facing the wretched scale. Whatever... it is what it is.

I know I can not fix the sorrows in life. I can sink deeper into letting the pain in my heart control me, or I can try make better decisions each day for my health and mental health.

There were some beautiful moments over the holidays! I am trying to hang onto those! I had a full house of mostly relaxed young people. Now they are back to attending classes (even though three are starting the quarter remotely). My nephew from Alberta made it home safely. My youngest daughters bf, who was staying with us most of the last couple weeks, left for his university campus in another part of the state yesterday. "Normal" is again life. My youngest girl's head is so bad. The pain is worse and the associated pain syndrome is enveloping so many other areas of her body. It just breaks my heart. But, she had some good days over the break, and we just hang onto the hope that the specialists will keep working to help her.

Every day is a new start. There are no mistakes in it yet. There is hope that today could be better than yesterday. There is the dream that there are good days ahead for the precious people I love... and for me.

Here are a few pictures that remind me of special memories from the last couple weeks. I got to have my five kids and three beautiful "extra" kids to love. The final photo is my husband and me from this summer while visiting Germany. There are good days ahead: I have good memories to savor. I am going to focus on my blessings!

SherryeB, I'm so grateful for the circle of friends here who understands and and cares for each other. You are a beautiful, kind human I appreciate so much. Thank you! May you... May we all... have a good year going forward. Thank you, Maine coon! The bird picture doesn't show Mr Cat with his front paws on the window staring at an empty feeder... I took that picture a split second later. I thought of including it here... Cat TV. 😁

Hi Melissa. So sorry to read about your daughter. Crossing fingers. Glad you and your husband got to see some of those Canadian relatives. And that you visited Germany

Wonderful pictures! How do you get such nice pictures of birds? I'm thinking about getting a wildlife camera to get pictures of the birds, and foxes, turkeys, deer and even the skunk that visits my backyard most nights. I am praying for your daughter and hope everything turns out well for her.

Thank you so much, buenita! I wish i had a picture of all ten of my people together. Hanging onto the memories of good times and looking forward with hope is what gets us all by! ❤️ Andrew, thank you so much for your sweet encouragement. I feel so rotten and unsupportive that I have not been online very much. I think when my heart is so heavy I don't feel like I have much to give and I'm a drain. I'll try to do better! I could for sure do with some restoration blessings on you! ❤️

Nikina, thank you! ❤️ The first time I had pavlova was in Australia as a teen doing a sort of internship for the summer. I even got the recipe from my host, (I still have it) but I wasn't able to follow it because the measurements aren't what I recognized. What the heck is a dessert spoon? Haha. Well, I rediscovered my love of it last year when the internet so happily helped me!

Liv, I'm so delighted to "see" you! I am grateful for the good days when my girl is feeling better. When the pain grips her with such might, I feel like my world is destroyed. I just have to keep as positive as possible and... Well, that is all I can do for my family. It was absolutely lovely to see "my" kid from Canada. The same youngest girl is closest to him in age and they love each other so fiercely. It was beautiful haveing him "home" with us! He lived with us, and he has missed the last several Christmas seasons with us.

Thank you, Fritzy! My Camera is actually really crappy. The phone cost about $150 and just gets me by. But, I'm grateful for it and I often ask others in the family to take pictures and send them to me. 😊 You have such a wonderful collection of wild critters as your neighbors. It seems you should have a good camera to capture the fun. And, thank you for your prayes... You and Sandy Blonde. One day at a time!

Thank you, Shedder! Shrewdness, love you too! ❤️ I am so blessed by "my" people here! What difference it makes. It doesn't always mean I make the best decisions... As in I've had another poor eating day and my girl has hardly been out of bed for days now, but it makes a difference in my heart feeling the support and love. Thank you! ❤️ 💕💞❤️💖

Melissa, what kind of cake was that? 
07 ene. 22 por el miembro: carol lynn1
Your pics always bring joy to my heart! Especially love the ones of you and the family! Love your boots and that dessert looks pretty awesome too! I'm really feeling your sentiment! We just have to look for the little joys and appreciate each blessing especially in the darkest times. When you hit rock bottom there's no place to go but up. I know because I've been there! I am there! Each day is a gift! I keep praying your sweet girl gets some relief. Sending my bear hugs to you. 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️

Carol lynn, it is actually not really a cake. It is the "official" dessert of Australia... supposedly! The first layer is a crispy meringue. Then fresh whipping cream and fruit. I had bananas sandwiched under the cream for extra flavor. I think it is traditional to have passion fruit poured over everything. I didn't have any! 😁
