Life as a princess - earthly & Heavenly

Day 4 of eating healthy. Proud of myself for actually getting to day four. In the past I would try to eat healthier, but would give up rather quickly.

Today was kind of sad for me. I started do a project which required me to look up types of toys. If you are TSA you know what I was working on; Christmas! Anyway, I was looking up toys and I came across a pig in a teacup (don't know what kid would play with that). Both of those things were my mom's favorite. This started the sad thoughts and it just went from there. All the little things that have been bugging me just seemed that much worse. I love my new people in Reno, but I miss my family back in Napa. I miss the familiarity of knowing what to do as the corps officer. Now I am trying to figure out my new role. I miss the climate of the valley, although, I am looking forward to the snow.

In thinking about my mom today, it reminded me that this daily goal to eat healthier is a good thing. By the time she was 40 she had diabetes; something I do not want to get. Eating healthier will also put me at a lower risk for other health issues. I really miss her. I can't believe it has been 2 years.

Thank you God for calling me to serve your people. Help me to adjust to change.
