Thankful and Blessed

As I sit here and reflect on the things that I'm thankful for this year, two major things come to mind: Health and family. 

Unanswered Prayers: Explained

When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life.  A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life.  The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.

My Plateaued Life

One of the things I didn't plan for was all the times I would plateau during my weight loss journey. Other times, this would have discouraged me, but this time is different. I have learned to be patient and stick to my plan.  Work out and focus on the positive side of things.  I haven't lost weight, but I haven't gained anything either.  That's the plus side.
