Sunday Feast

Nieces and nephew are the best.  You get to spoil them and get them wild and as soon as they are smelly or crying you can give them back to their parents.  Can you believe her hair, she is four years old!  Don't mind the holes in my socks.

Somebody liked their rolls.

The soup was a success.  Everybody really liked it.  Probably not the most healthy dish but it was high in fiber and protein. Everything in moderation.

Soup, veggies and dip, and whole grain bread with strawberry preserves.  I went back for more soup.  I promise I am going to start being creative and eat something other than soup.

I can't think of anything I would want to do more than spend my Sunday nights beating little kids at Monopoly.

Last but not least...... Dessert.  Gooey brownies (no nuts thank you very much) with ice cream and a glass of milk.  Got to get that calcium in!

At about 8 o'clock on Sunday nights I start to get sad.  I love my job but I love the weekends so much more.  Today I am changing my PERSPECTIVE.  I am going to look forward to my early morning workout and getting to go to a job I love.  Just like with running or anything else in life your thinking can make anything a good or a bad thing.

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so."
