One of these days, I need to write a post about going to weight loss camps as a kid. I went to two of them. One at 13 years old and then again at 16. It is an interesting story and I had pretty much pushed it to the back of my brain (bad teenage years) but think it would be a relevant story now. Stay tuned for that.

I know it is going to be a very emotional weekend. As of late, when I have been getting stressed or overwhelmed it is making me NOT eat which has it's benefits but I can't do it being diabetic because my blood sugar dips too low. I will do the best to take care of myself though. Hope you are having a pleasant weekend. Until next time...

  6. It's always nice getting to know someone better. I loved the book "Five people You Meet in Heaven". It was an interesting and often heartbreaking story, wasn't it?

    You sound a little low right now. I hope that you will consider you health and how important it is to take care of Katie. All the best.

  8. Please do take care of you, Katie!!! I also loved Five People. I read it the first time on a Greyhound when I was in the process of moving about 6 months after my mom passed. When I got off the bus the tears were just streaming down my face! And I loved this post so much I'm copying you :)

  9. Five People was great! If you liked that & would like an inspirational Christmas book - try The Christmas Jar. Very short book but it makes an impact. :)

    Coffee & Almond Joy...Mmmmmm

    Have a great week!
