I hope you find encouragement here. Only you can decide you are ready to make the change to become a healthier you! Valentine Treasures Valentine treasures are people who have often crossed your mind, family, friends and others, too, who in your life have shined the warmth of love or a spark of light that makes you remember them; no matter how long since you’ve actually met, each one is a luminous gem, who gleams and glows in your memory, bringing special pleasures, and that’s why this Valentine comes to you: You’re one of those sparkling treasures! By Joanna Fuchs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How often we wish for another chance to make a fresh beginning. A chance to blot out our mistakes And change failure into winning. It does not take a new day To make a brand new start, It only takes a deep desire To try with all our heart. To live a little better And to always be forgiving And to add a little sunshine To the world in which we're living. So never give up in despair And think that you are through, For there's always a tomorrow And the hope of starting new. Helen Steiner Rice 1/1/2010 Under 200, lost 100 pounds in a year, blessed beyond measure! Keeping the focus in focus in 2010! 11/12/09 I reached three goals today. I have lost over 90 pounds, reached my goal for the Jade Dragons BL Fall Challenge, actually reached it awhile ago and reached my goal for the Red Roses BL Fall Mini Challenge and there are several more weeks to go. I sit here saying pinch me. I am living my dream to becoming healthy. As I get out of bed and swing my legs over the side, I can't believe how skinny my legs are becoming. When I catch a glimpse of my shadow I say wow, that's me. I am so grateful to all who have encouraged, supported and kicked me in the pants along the journey. So I took today and changed my Spark Page. I know, I know that shocks and amazes all of you! My heart is full of Thanksgiving and Praise to the One who never gives up on us and sends angels to help us along the way. 04/03/09 Sparks has been so wonderful for me. It has given me support when I needed it and a kick in the pants when I needed that. The friendships I have made I will always treasure. I look forward to those of you who I will be meeting soon. 01/03/09 I joined Sparks two years ago and did nothing. I am tired of making excuses, I have health challenges to limit my excercise, sleeping problems and am now caregiver to my father-in -law, so sit at home everyday. I keep thinking that is my husband will loose then I will jump on the band wagon. Well that hasn't happened. I let my emotions rule and try and do it all on my own, not allowing my Lord and Saviour to help me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Climb Till Your Dream Comes True Your tasks may often be many, More than you think you can do -- The road may often be rugged And the hills insurmountable, too... But nothing in life that is worthy Is ever too hard to achieve If you have the courage to try it And you have the faith to believe... For faith is a mover of mountains And there's nothing that God cannot do, So start out today With faith in your heart And climb till your dream comes true! Helen Steiner Rice, Poet Things I Have Learned on this Journey Consistency is the key! Keep getting back on track! If I am hungry and it is not time to eat: Drink Water Snack with fruit and protein between meals. Make sure I am getting enough calories early in the day. Keep moving, even the smallest things help you keep you going in the right direction. If I mess up, start again immediately, don't wait for the next day! This is a great inspirational video. http://www.lshs64.com/enjoytheride.html

What Valentine Can I Give Him? What can I give to Jesus On this special Valentine’s Day? How can I tell Him I’ll love Him, And follow Him, come what may? How can I show I need Him? Should I send a red heart, with lace? How can I thank Him enough For his sacrifice, love and grace? What Valentine can I give Him, My adoration to impart? I’ll give to Him what He wants most; I’ll yield to Him my heart. By Joanna Fuchs Twice As Sweet On Valentines Day, we show our love; We express our deep affections. Those who are important to us Get cards and sweet confections. But Christian love is not just for The ones we hold most dear; Jesus said "love everyone;" He made that very clear. For Christians, it is every day We should care and love and serve Everyone we meet in life, Whether they do or don’t deserve. Let’s follow Jesus’ good command To love everyone we meet. Valentine
