Okay I get it lol. My fortune cookie gave me words of wisdom yesterday which really made a lot of sense to me once I grasped it's meaning" "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.". To my buddy Adaram, ONWARD AND UPWARD, TOWANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to terms with changing what we can and accepting what we cannot change. ~Daily Om

Sometimes we have so many varying responsibilities in our lives, ranging from work obligations to caring for children to running a household, we feel we cannot possibly make it all work. We may feel overwhelmed in the face of it all, ending each day feeling hopelessly behind schedule. However, regardless of how frustrating this can be, these are the parameters that make up our lives, and we owe it to ourselves to find a way to make it work. Rather than buckling under the pressure of an impossible to-do list, we might take a moment to view the larger perspective.

Like the president of a large organization, we must first realize that we cannot do every job ourselves. The first step to sanity is learning how to delegate some of the responsibility to other people, whether by paying someone to clean our house or trading childcare duties with another parent. In addition, we might find places where we can shift our expectations in ways that make our lives easier. For example, expecting ourselves to create a healthy home-cooked meal every night after a full day of work, errands, or caring for an infant or toddler may be a bit excessive. We might allow ourselves to order in food once in a while without any guilt. Accepting the adjustments needed to make our lives work is an essential ingredient to being at peace with our situation.

At the end of the day, we must come to terms with changing what we can and accepting what we cannot change. Sometimes the laundry piles up, a sick child demands more of our attention than usual, and we temporarily get behind with our schedule. Accepting this momentary state of affairs and trusting in our ability to get back on track when the time is right, we gracefully accept our life as it is, letting go of perfectionism and embracing life as it stands.

@Lisa ... that Fortune Cookie is WIN! We're in complete alignment of thinking. This is not about the "destination" of a certain "weight" it's about the process and the experience of living healthier; in my case, in the hopes that I can be healthy for my wife, my kids, and eventually my grand children.

:-) Love the pic. I like your comment today, especially the first paragraph; exactly what I felt. We are trying to resolve all the issues, a little at a time. Very nice comment, it fit me like a glove!

I cold not agree moe, Lisa, and that has been one of the most difficult parts of my journey...understanding that I can only do what I can do, and that if I don't get everything done, it doesn't mean that I am a failure, but rather human. I cannot do all the things that I WANT to do, I can only do what I am CAPABLE of. The rest can wait.

Love the pic Lisa and of course your journal which is oh so true. I am a good multi tasker so I don't usually have a problem with this. I actually like the craziness and the pressure.
