It's a new year, and time to prioritize for all of us. This was an e-mail forward this morning that touched my heart - and seemed like a good recipe for moms dealing with finicky eaters...and stresses of every day life. Read it, and be blessed! Let's all make this recipe today, shall we? :)
- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
- Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.
- When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
- Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the present moment.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
- Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

- GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!

- Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for_________. Today I accomplished______.
- Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
- When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it.
