Wow it's been a while

Please Lord, teach us to laugh again. But God, don't ever let us forget that we cried..

 

Oh it's been quite a while since I have posted on here. I am on vacation in Florida and am having a really nice time. Unfortunately I found out something while here, that broke my heart. Long story, not going to even discuss it at this point. Honestly, I have to learn that I need to not be so trusting. Sometimes we trust people that should never have it. I will definitely think twice next time.... Enough about that..

Florida has been amazing. Lexi does not want to come home. I have gotten to see so many people and I am so glad! I have reunited with so many people from HS and so many people that I have not seen in 10 years, it's been awesome and the trip is not over yet. I even got to reunite with a friend I had not seen since my husband died 15 years ago. And got to meet so many people.

My first few days of vacation had been rough staying in a hotel, and staying away from grains in downtown Disney. So, I enjoyed myself. Unfortunately I ended up really sick from the grain & flour. But I did not let it ruin my vacation. I thought I broke a tooth, turns out I just have a sensitive tooth. Never went to the dentist, because I was able to see that it was the tooth my own dentist had told me was very ssensitive, well, now I will have to go back to my Sensitive toothpaste.

I am looking forward to having lunch with an old HS friend. I have not seen him in over 25 years, and we're meeting in downtown Disney for lunch. We are heading over there early so we can hopefully be there by noon or 1. Then I'm meeting some other friends for drinks at night. Then Lexi & I will turn in, and be on our way home! I love being away but can't wait to be in my own bed, in my own house on Saturday, with my daughter & my puppy! Who I have missed terribly. 

Since we have been in North Port Fl, I have been able to pretty much stick to my food plan, and then with all the stress I have been under, I have refused to let anything deter me from this plan. 

I got 2 new tattoo's and had 3 touched up. They are awesome. Lexi designed my rose tattoo with the word "Strong" on a banner, because she thinks I am the strongest woman she knows. Which means more to me than anyone could or will ever know.

This tattoo will continuously remind me that I am STRONG, I am confident, independent & DO NOT NEED A MAN TO COMPLETE ME!!! Thank you to my amazing daughter for reminding me of that today! I love you Bella, and you will ALWAYS COME FIRST!!!!

I look forward to weighing in when I get home, and seeing where I am at. But I really need to invest in some new clothes!! That is the next thing I am going to do!!

Godspeed!
