This is a first...

My first entry to my first blog...scary...

So I have been in Florida for 2 months now...and I love it! Everything about it...the heat does not even bother me and it is JULY! It has been a long and interesting journey this past year...

Some good and some bad but I think even the bad is turning out to be good...irony! So since August of last year I have lost 85lbs, gained 2 beautiful nieces, moved to Florida, lost a fiance, got 2 jobs and apparently left Minnesota at the perfect time cause more layoffs came about. So I mean really everything balances out...scary how God makes everything mesh. Even if it is all scary and sometimes heartbreaking. All in all though I think I am ahead of the game right now.

I am truly trying to stay positive, I sometimes lapse into a negative mind set and stay there. I am being optimistic, I kinda have to be now, it is what gets me through the day. I am also working on letting go...not being so OCD about things that I can not control, it truly feels great. I wonder why I ever worried about some things.

It seems that I learn the best when hit upside the head with things, perhaps why I get beaten down so often. I hope this last time is the last time that happens though, I really do not want to learn things the hard way any more!

So that is my first blog entry...I know it is not insightful or funny...but oh well...I am new at this! I will figure out how to post pics and things later...might have to consult my sisters!
