Christmas 2021

 I haven't taken any time to sit and reflect on this past year's Christmas. So now, I will. 


Christmas 2021. Life in Covid. The Christmas season began just after Halloween. Americans start Christmas festivities earlier and earlier now, and I have no reason to complain about that!  


We did Jolobokoflod the week before Christmas. Liam and I went to DC as we traditionally do. That day was unseasonably warm, and we walked down the mall carrying our coats. 

The boys and I enjoyed multiple walks around town to see the lights, and drives around the county to see Christmas lights on houses. The week before Christmas, Uncle Rod and Aunt Cindy came over for dinner. It was so nice to sit and catch up with them in what was our first times in years to do so! 

 For Christmas Eve, we went to my mom's house for dinner. Laura joined us. Then Liam went to Matt's for the evening and Christmas morning. My parents came for dinner on Christmas. On the Monday after Christmas, we did "family" Christmas with my siblings and their families, and my mom.

And why did it take? I have NO idea. I don't really even remember how long ago I started? A Sunday? I don't know. I do know HOW I started.  I ate: 2 hard boiled eggs, a salad with grilled chicken and a low sugar yogurt, a Sargento snack pack for snack and a low carb dinner. I ate the exact same thing the next day. I resolved  myself to absolutely NO cheating, because sugar causes a desire for more sugar. Sugar in me triggers inflammation, which wants more sugar to feel better.  I also cut out gluten. Which I think has had such a significant impact on my progress.  This week a day for...

Sunday thoughts

  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Isaiah 1:27 find this quote to really correlates what's going on in the world today where people are turning away from religion and yet still pointing fingers. They're blaming the immigrants they're blaming the people who are separated from their kids and that they're not loving them the way that God has taught us to love people and I just wish that God would surely bring his spirit and his grace
