A dip and a curve in my path

I won! Well yes, I won the planner that Allison offered! woohoo!

Stubborn,
Why must I be a child of a parent who is stubborn?  Well I could blame it on her being part American Indian and part Irish, or I could say it is her age and she is not going to change. Either way, I HAVE to deal with this.  I love my mom dearly, but she is stubborn.  Ironically my husband laughs at me when I complain about this because he claims I am the same way. My mom's birthday was yesterday, she turned 69 years old. For her birthday I told her she couldn't continue the way things are.  It scares me to know what I know, but it hurts my heart to think of the reality that I don't know.  So here on mom's birthday we both, as stubborn as we are start a new journey together.   So many questions flood through my thoughts as I try to process what is actually happenning. Simple things, or should I say things that I take for granted, she  can't do. Her vision is to the point she can't read.  Let alone all of the known medical problems that she has and has actually admitted to me.  Ironically starting the Sunday 7 was just the first step to the rest of my life. I started working on procrastinating, cooking nightly dinners at home that I had planned out ahead of time for budget reason, working on sending love and hope out to the ones that hurt me most, and praying to god daily.  Who would have thought that this foundation is one that I would need so deeply to be capable of taking the next step on my journey,........my mom. I need to be more structured as I start on this next step, or life will be overwhelming.  I plan on continuing this blog to help me mentally sort out where I need to be, how I need  to get there and why.     Nothing that is before me is unattainable, I just need need to focus clearly on my basic Sunday7 to guide me to reaching my goals,

God grant me serenity........looks like a good addition where to start, I will need it.

The First Step

Life, it is a swirling fast movement, it goes on whether you participate or not.  This is my first step to participating in my LIFE. Allison Dalke has a blogg where she herself does a Sunday 7. In this blog she also encouraged her readers to try implementing this Sunday 7 in their own life to enrich or change their own lifestyle. The following is a post I submitted to her blogg to start my journey and to hopefully win a prize from Allison's blogg. 

~~~Well this is my second try at posting this tonight, the first time ended in tragedy with it being lost into  the internet  unknown. {although it would be easier to say i'll do it later and forget it} See my Greatest struggle is with procrastination and maybe the Sunday 7 is how I can over come this......After all every journey starts with a step.....
1.Faith} I will pray personally daily to seek God's guidance and Strength with procrastinating.
2.Family}IN my family it's seems I blink and I have missed so much. There are 5 other people in this house, and this week I plan to daily have a "us moment"  with a different family member to try to reconnect and preserve a moment of time even if it is little.
3.Relationships} This is an ongoing struggle.  This week I will work to keep thoughts positive toward people that have hurt my heart.  God loves unconditionally and I need to remember  this when handling these relationships in my life and not let the devil win. I read a quote once~ Those that need Love the most sometimes deserve it the least.
4.Work}I need to Follow Through. Each day take one step toward this and be happy with the step instead of beating my self up for not achieving instant greatness.  (To Grow Bamboo takes many years with the last six weeks being the 2nd most important step.... the 1st most important step is to plant the seeds initially.)
5.Health & Health}Eat more balanced home cooked meals. Monday plan out weekly dinner menu before shopping on tuesday.  Also get back on schedule for taking meds on set time schedule. {AKA again stop procrastinating}
6.Finance} Redorganise/update Bill Binder to determine actual outlook. Plan how to advance toward getting bigger house.
7.Down Time} Achieve 3 different times where it is me and my IPOD for needed chillaxing.
Thank you Allison for encouraging me to metaphorically plant some Bamboo seeds.

Now after having to complete this task twice I realised that it wasn't actually Allison telling me "hey you need to do this", but it was god giving me a heads up. So I ask whomever may read this, to please say a simple prayer of encouragement that I have the strength to do this.  I know that when many reach out to god in prayer there is strength.  So this is my first step to the living of my life...........
