It is 10:30.
I am sitting in front of a slowly smoldering fire.
My kids are snuggled in front of the fire.


It is 10:30.
I am happy.


Today was an interesting day at rehab; it was the holiday party.
THIS is the table of goodies we had available to us for the party:

You will notice that there is a whole lot of good food. You will notice there is NOT a whole lot "good FOR you" food.


Well, I did my best to be "good." While I did have 1 or 2 things not good for me, I mostly ate fresh veggies and fruit. If fact, if you see a fruit tray in the picture, it is the one I brought.


I was very glad to see what was on that table. What I saw was not all good, nutritious food....
....and the rehab staff was OKAY with it being there. Knowing that will help me feel better about myself if I ever "fall off the wagon." It is nice to know that even the cardiac rehab staff admits it is okay to splurge every-once-in-a-while.


THANK GOD!


That is about it for tonight; I am in a good place...and...I found out that those days when I felt terrible for eating some goodies, I didn't need to be TOO hard on myself. It happens; sometimes even WITH approval from the medical staff.


So, if you are out there reading...don't let a single day of "breaking the rules" get you down.




Good night & God bless.
