Reflections of my life! Unit 3

On a scale of one to ten I would rate my physical well being somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 because I know that there is a lot I can do to improve my health.  Although I have some medical problems that I can't change myself, there a couple I know I could if I were stronger in my convictions.  I am a smoker and I am overweight, those are the 2 biggies for me, I know I could control my eating habits better and exercise more and I try to quit smoking but always give in, my goal is to conquer these monkeys on my back befor it is too late.  Spiritually I consider myself at about 7, I have been working on this and it's getting better all the time and psychologically I think about 7 also.  I have had many demons to wrestle with in my adult years but I am older and wiser now and handling things better each day.  My goal for spirituality are to keep seeking things that bring me joy and peace and my goal for psychological well being is to strive to nurture myself and better myself everyday.  Activities I could do to help achieve these goals might include finding a physical activity I can do and enjoy at the same time, reading more and feeding my mind, I think thats so important.  I can set small goals for each of these things instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, large accomplishments tend to throw out of whack.  I think that growing and nurturing all these areas takes time and work and I am finally starting to see that I am worth the effort!

Summer Yumminess

Hi everyone, it's Monday June 18th, a warm and very beautiful summer day in South Carolina.  I did not put in a garden this year, I do still grow my herbs every year though, and I still have a wonderful summer bounty of veggies from my neighbors garden and also a friend who has a rather large garden in the country.  I have been making my homemade pickles, and more to do.  Enough zucchini and yellow squash to cook for meals and make some breads, tomatoes and hot peppers, corn, and a big bag of potatoes.  I don't need to visit the produce section for a while, thank you my fellow gardeners!  Bon Appetite!

Hi everyone, it's Saturday and I am updating my blog for my new class.  I still struggle with technology but I give it a good try anyway, have a blessed weekend and be safe!
