I am still sick with a severe cold. I decided to drink honey and Braggs Vinegar and it felt so good to the throat. I was up at 4:45 am this morning and read from my tablet until 6 am. Clark and I got busy and made the house in order again from the family parties on Saturday and Sunday night. Susan and Clair did not attend the Saturday dinner.
Bishop Morrison brought over a check last night for the rent of Colleen Butterfield home. Cas her daughter and her son, Charlie have not been working and cannot pay the rent. I had to tell her that she needed to move if she didn't pay the rent. She cried, I cried. Bipolar problems are hard to deal with. Bishop did a wonderful thing for Cas.
Today I will eat mindfully. I will look for things that will build and strengthen me physically besides spiritually.
Today I spent a few hours at IMC to check out my sore throat, cough and nose. I have a virus that I can share with everyone. Spent the day setting up the glass shelves that we got from Malcolm's house. We are going to put the Christmas Village up for Christmas. And I spent the other half of the day sewing a background for the village. It has slits in the seams to hide the cords that light the houses.
This is a blog about my health. I find that I will have to add what happens in my days.
Eating did great until after lunch. I became so hungry and ate cookies and ice cream for dessert. In the later afternoon and evening I ate the rest of the HI-Chews. I am going to get off sugar.

10 November 2019
I have been doing some soul searching and realize that I have a higher potential than what I am accomplishing right now. I have been inspired and directed to start a blog about the journey I am taking to understand myself better and the potential the Lord wants me to accomplish.
First and for most, for the past 7 years I have had the attitude that 'Why lose weight'. I have taken classes to lose weight only to gain it back and more. I realize that this is a feeling of depression and discouragement and miss direction on my thought process. How could a child of God not value herself such as I have? How can I truly love another when I am so judgmental and hard on myself? How could I get so low that I have hit rock bottom? And that is where I am at!
I have had a terrible cold and been pushing myself to keep up with life. It is Sunday morning and I am taking time to examine myself both physically and spiritually. I am hoping that blogging I can find the sweet spirit and constant companionship of the Holy Ghost and have a love of living again. I do have a firm and abiding testimony of Jesus Christ and grateful that He is my Savior and Redeemer. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been a blessing in my life and my family lives and it is true. I spirit has been witnessed this to me. I love serving others and will put myself on hold to make sure others are taken care of. I think it is time to take care of myself and I take care of others. What does that mean? How can that happen? I have several goals in my life are left to be accomplished. The greatest experience was marrying my love, Clark. He has been my strength and support through the years and I have been blessed. I will be grateful to my Heavenly Father for this good man who has been a great husband, father, and now grandfather, brother and son.
What are my goals and how can I reach them? How am I doing on the covenant path?
I am moving forward on the covenant path by daily prayers, scripture reading with Clark at night in the B of M, listening to conference talks and trying to minister and working on the farm. When I write it out is seems I am doing better than I realize on the Covenant Path. What lack I yet? The church is asking the youth to set goals in these four areas: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual and Social. I will piggyback on these four goals for myself.
Spiritual:
Physical:
Intellectual:
Social:
I stayed in bed all day. No Church! No fun with family that came for dinner! I hated being sick but I also did not like the idea of giving the cold to others. I did not follow the goal of staying away from sugar. I did have a small bowl of homemade ice cream and a cookie and a philly sandwich with a roll. Tomorrow will be another day and I will continue to follow the plan that I have set out for myself.

- Keep a log of food intake.
- Don't eat sugar or flour and log how I am feeling.
Intellectual:

- Learn something new each day and share it.
- Long goal: graduate from college - How am I going to accomplish this goal?
Social:
- Call family and friends more often and stay connected even through text, emails, and phone calls and face time.
- Get to know people in the ward by inviting them over for dinner or FHE or dessert.
- Willingness to open up to others by making the effort to say hello and learn others names.
