I am working on changing habits, and it takes 21 days to fully get into a new habit and leave those other nasty habits behind. A new habit I'm loving... Giving gratitude! You cans ometimes forget in a busy day, so I got this idea from a blogger I follow called Wellness Mama.... It's a gratitude alarm... I set a daily alarm on my phone with an uplifting ring tone. When it goes off I stop and say what I'm grateful for and ask anyone around me what they are grateful for too. Our family often answers this question at dinner, but this is another tangible reminder during the day. *I also have a grateful jar on my kitchen table. Anyone can add in their gratefulness and we will read them on New Years! HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Alrighty, I have been sorting out life and what it really important. You know those times in your life where you are at a crossroads. During this time I am working on changing how my family eats.

I have been working on meal planning and things like this Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, with a nice delicious salad makes life as a busy mom real easy.

Well, my face has been in a lot of pain lately again. Stress, weather and possibly food is contributing to this seriously annoying condition that is on-going. The muscles get knotted up and super tight. I have discovered a Jade Roller that helps quite a lot with the muscles. What will they come up with next? In all of this, I am working on changing bad habits and growing to become healthier & stronger as I age. Everyday is a challenge and sometimes, I think it is too difficult. BUT then I remember, I am the captain of my life guiding my own way through the ups and downs of the process of change. I can do anything I set my mind too, all I have to do it move forward even it is a tiny bit at a time! #lifeischange #Beyourbestyou #beyourowncaptain #beabetteryou #byebyebadhabits #beactive
