I mentioned above that I don't think I would have continued to scrapbook if I hadn't found digital scrapbooking. While I have quite a few scrapbooks filled with traditional scrapbooking pages, I stressed so much over one page and it would take me days to finish. But, digitally, I can make a page in under an hour, sometimes less. Sure, sometimes longer, but I haven't stressed once.
I love this hobby, this recording our family memories. And I'm grateful for it.
The candle burning is Iced Vanilla Woods. It smells so wonderful. There are still many smells that are gross but slowly my nose sense is returning to normal. Until it does, if it ever does, I'm enjoying the sweet smells of vanilla, lavender, and woods.
First, I got a text. Then, when we started conversing longer texts Stacia called. And, it was wonderful hearing from her out of the blue. I am so thankful she thought of me in her dilemma.
We went pistol shooting again this week. So. Much. Fun. I was in a lot of pain and I was struggling to keep eyes on target and I was anticipating my shots, but I also tried new weapons. I'm trying a SIG SAUER 938 Compact next week. I handled it on Friday night and it was amazing! I'm hoping it will shoot well for me, because this might be my pistol. I'm working my way through pistols trying to find one that works for me, with my hands, so weak that they are.
I'm so thankful for this time, either on a date night, or us as a family, going pistol shooting. Our instructors are simply the best. We use Practical Applications Group and their ability to teach and motivate - impressive.
I am so blessed to have found Whole 30. When I completed Whole 30 in August and lost 23 pounds and felt 10 times better than I'd felt in a long time I knew eating whole was going to be the way to go. I'm currently into another round of Whole 30 compliant (14 days) and yet, I have no doubt I will be blessed by even that.
For anyone hurting from rheumatoid arthritis or arthritis or who experiences increased inflammation Whole 30 is a healthy way to combat those aches and pains. Remove all sugars, grains, and dairy - I know, that's a lot to cut out of the diet, and I won't lie - IT'S HARD - but so worth it, too. And, it's doable.
Just look at that salad. A whole tomato, I stuffed mixed greens into a mason jar, I added a hard boiled egg, a couple radishes for spice, a third of a can of beets, and Whole 30 compliant homemade zesty Italian dressing. This is my lunch every day of the week (I might mix it up with the meat, add a vegetable here or there) but it fills me up and tastes so good.
