ready for a healthy life

I have struggled with my weight all my life though things turned for the worse after pregnancies at 35 and 38, since then its been all down hill. i lose 30 pounds and gain back 40, repeatedly.
During the last year my parents moved near by and are both handicapped and I lost my job of 26 years. Needless to say both events have furthered my weight gain contributed to my chronic depression.

I Said A Prayer For You Today
by Frank J. Zamboni

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Take Care my friend and have a wonderful week!

Good Evening My Friend! I have always been curious about the fish, maybe I'll find out when I take biology in the Fall term. lol.

Muddogs is a slang term for Crawfish here in Texas (and Lousiana). Where I used to live they would come out of the ground after the rain. The pups loved fighting with the muddogs on the streets, when we would go for our walks.

I hope you're doing well at the new job... I also hope things in your life are going better...

Just popping in to all my SP friends to give you some encouragement to make the week ahead as healthy as possible. You are worth the effort it take to make positive changes to live your life to it's fullest. Take time to share with others the kindness in your heart each and every day. I want you to know you are part of my SPARK WORLD and I care about you.

Have a terrific week !!!

My koi tattoo does have a meaning... The 2 kois represent my hubby & I, water for life is always flowing/changing directions (but always headed the same way) and the 3 cherry blossom flowers represent my nephews (2 close together (for the older 2), 1 far apart (for the youngest) and the center of one of them has a Nartica Star for my punk-rock nephew) .

The original tattoo underneath is a butterfly with tribal bandings. It was a protection against 'jealousy'... Since the orginal faded, I decided I wanted something bigger and better. I'll post the old picture of what it looked like later.
