It's a new day!

2010 represents a new a new start for me - to reclaim myself and renew and restore my health and happiness - that I might live the life that has been granted me in the fullest. Blogging, too, is brand new to me; yet, writing is not. It is my avocation as well as has been my occupation for quite some time. The written word is a treasure to me and to my soul. As a writer, I know that one must first determine his or her audience. This time, I am the audience. Anyone else who happens upon my musings and revelations will simply be seeing me as I truly am.

As a Christian, I firmly believe that things happen as they must and that my God is ALWAYS in control of my life. HE knows the plans HE has for me and shall accomplish the good work in time. Negative events in our lives hopefully spur us on to change for the better. This, indeed, has happened to me.

This new year marked a change for me. A change for wellness and wholeness. I am on a quest to reclaim health and happiness and am already seeing the fruits of that endeavor.

In February of this year, I enrolled in a wellness program that is changing me - the way I eat, the way I think and the way I exercise. I have already learned that if one asks the Lord to not let go of them, but to keep them on a path to health, He will do that. He is keeping me on that path and pulling me further and further from harm's way each day. I rejoice in that!

I have already lost 47+ pounds and my clothes are swimming on me. Now, THAT is victory. Each new day brings another opportunity for success. I am so excited about these life changes and look forward to each new step.
