I have been in a serious rut for about a year now. Some things I can change, others I cannot. So instead of moping around another day I have decided to set some small goals and stick with them. Work on the things I can change. The things I need to work on in order to make my life better for myself and those around me. I can be a bit of an open book and I definitely wear my heart on my sleeve at times. We are all human and fall short of the glory so I don't mind sharing some of my problems, thoughts and views on things.
I have had some dark days as the individual named Amy. I am very happy and blessed as a mother but that's only one part of my life. Madi is such a joy and as much as that should make me happy it would be unhealthy to ONLY concentrate on her and not myself. To be a good mom~I have to take care of her mother. So one goal I have conquered but is an everyday battle is my weight loss and trying to exercise. I fail often at the exercise. I plan on going to school in Feb. for a phlebotomy course and will gradually go back to work when need be. No rush on that just yet but I want the degree under my belt for when I need it. Although we are moving and our expenses will increase so I may be going back this fall. I do have some private personal issues I am working on as well just to be my best as a person in general. It's a new year and I am ready to get over this rut one way or another.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things that I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Glad to see you back. Wish you the best this new year as you and God tackle these challenges. Love the pick of you and Pebbles!!
Ruts are so tough. I've been in and out of them myself. I hope you find your way out of yours.
May I recommend Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore?
Pebbles looks adorable as usual and you continue to look great also!
Ooooh...how about Beth's Esther study called Its Tough Being a Woman? Very very good.
I wish you only the best in your personal journey. Concentrating on small steps and changing the things that you CAN, and not obsessing over the things that you can't change, sounds like a good plan of action.
Hugs!
My rut is my recliner....I could live life from it. :-)
Good to see you again.
