Down to Wire and the Stress Associated..

Almost done with the Bachelor of Arts degree that has taken me 10 years to get! Almost done and I'm tired and worn out and getting yelled at because I'm not who I'm supposed to be. Who am I supposed to be? Perfect? I didn't think perfection existed. Guess what world - I have flaws! Oh yeah I am a deeply flawed human being and maybe even overly sensitive... more on that later.

I find it interesting that the Bible verse that carried me through my sometimes tumultuous childhood is still the verse that gets me through my more than sometimes tumultuous adulthood!

If it is your inclination to do so, I highly recommend checking out Psalms 27 from beginning to end!

Here's just a snippet:
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me,
my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall...

...I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage;
yea, wait for the Lord!

Diabetes, WeightWatchers and the Finale!

It's official I have diabetes. (stop) The days of eating whatever I want are over. (stop) I'm now on WW to control the diabetes. (stop) Just when I want to gorge myself in emotional eating because I've almost got my degree. (stop) This has to happen! (STOP)

I can't believe I'm almost done with my undergraduate degree. What a relief! I can't stop now though! Must push forward! - back to work for me!
