Identity Theft

Ok so to all my friends and family out there..... please please please, make sure that you monitor your bank accounts and credit. I am grateful that we caught ours when we did. I am unfortunately the victim of some identity theft. I always felt sorry for others that I heard it happened to, but I always thought that I would be ok because I am SOOOO careful with my info and Casey's. Unfortunately it doesn't matter how careful you are. So please check things often Ü. I am not going to post the whole story yet. That is for another day when I am feeling very long winded, or you can feel free to call me.

New Year......

I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but I do my best thinking when I am almost asleep. It's when I am in that state where I am almost asleep, but still awake enough to know what I am thinking about.

Anyway, last night was one of those nights when I had sort of an epiphany. I was thinking that I don't tend to make new year resolutions, because if I am honest with myself, I don't ever keep them or follow through with them. Then I started to thinking about my past resolutions, and they all seemed to revolve around me not liking my body. So then my thoughts went towards all the things that I am not so much a fan about. I was mentally listing them, when I suddenly caught myself. I stopped my train of thought and went with the new thought that had just interrupted me. The new thought was this: I need to stop hating myself. Sure there are things that I would like to change. Everyone has those I am sure. I would love to be in better shape, lose some weight and be more active. I would really love it if my body worked right so that I was able to have children. I would love to have more perfect beautifully white teeth. But in all honesty, this is the only body that I get. I need to start being grateful that I have this body at all. I need to be more appreciative that I have to opportunity to live in this body, even with the things that I don't like about it.

And then it hit me. That is my new life time resolution. I am going to be more grateful that I have been given this wonderful miracle of a body and stop hating the little things about it. Of course I am going to try to take better care of it, but my ultimate goal is not the weight loss, or whiter teeth, it is loving myself because I am me. So to all of you out there who agree or disagree, I say this, it does not matter to me. I am who I am. Take it or leave it.

Miracle Worker......

So I have been REALLY sick lately, which doesn't come as a surprise to most, I know. I have a tendency to get sick really easily and very often. So my most recent ailment had been this cold that started out as a sore sratchy throat and then turned into congestion in my head and chest. Anyone who knows me, also knows that I HATE going to the doctor. So because of my predicament I decided to try out this magic bottle of syrup that seems to always work miracles for me. It's called Black Edlerberry Syrup. I find it here at the health food store. It's kind of pricey for that little bottle (about $11), but well worth is because it saved me from that dreaded doctor's visit. I started taking it Tuesday morning and by Tuesday evening I was feeling A LOT better. I am still taking it until I am sure that I am over this. But anyone who knows me, knows how sick I tend to get and this fabulous bottle is my new favorite. I plan on keeping some in the house always. So for everyone out there, I recommend getting yourself some. It is WONDERFUL! It is safe for kids too. So there you go.
