Hi Jen!

I hope that the new day is treating you well and it sounds like you are doing great!

today will be a better day, i just know it!!!

That's the way to think! If you need some new day motivation, think about Diana Ross singing in the movie, "The Wiz!"...

"Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?"

That's one of my faves I play often in my office when I need some motivation! We are making ourselves free from this excess weight, so lets celebrate each day!

Bye for now,
Mike

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

Hey, Jen! Where are you sweetie? I hope you are having a great day.

Are you swimming? I know it is a REALLY stressful week for you -- just take it a day at a time.

Be sure to let us know how you are! Just think -- one more day and then you are heading to your new home for a long weekend!
