The "problem" that isn't!

Hope everyone had a great week. yesterday was a whirl of dry-wallers, stainers, and electricians in and out of the house all day. they got lots done... yea!... and now i need to get to work priming and painting. i'm trying to get all the "have-to's" (meal planning, bills, mail, laundry) out of the way today so the rest of the week i can make some tracks. (So that's why i'm blogging?!?!?) it rained a lot last night so working outside is out of the question for a day or two so my attention shouldn't be divided that way.
i stopped by a few friends last night. am planning on visiting a few more today. one post really got me to thinking. it was about listening to our bodies to know when we are hungry and when we aren't. where did i get the thought that it was a bad thing to have my stomach growl? why don't i interpret that as what it is.... my body talking to me? why is it a "oh, no, my stomach is growling." instead of a "thanks for the information." or better yet... "wow, my body is burning more calories than what i took in. i'm burning fat. YES!" Why do i think i need to immediately "fix it" when i get hungry? i obviously am not going to blow away or faint. wonder if i could learn to appreciate a little hunger and a growling stomach as signs of success in this journey instead of a problem that needs fixing? What about you???

Oh my goodness--something must be wrong if you're posting more often than I am :)

The strike is finally over and i'm back in school. Looks as though you've been busy too! I am glad though, that you can take some time out to keep us informed.

I'll be back ;)

It really is all about attitude, isn't it?

Will we see pictures of your final project? Please? (puppy eyes)
