Coffee Talk!
Is it really 1:00AM? I am such an old lady and usually find
myself counting sheep by 9PM! My only explanation is this new Starbucks iced
coffee I bought yesterday and I thought it would be a good idea to drink 2
large cups before bed! UGHHH! Great, I should feel wonderful for our early
morning road trip to our camp site.... Yes, we are roughing it in the wild for
a WHOLE week! I am so excited, family camping vacations are my favorite! We
have all the goodies packed up and ready to go! T's birthday is this week so
what a great way to celebrate!
How about this, we went to Win Dixie yesterday, while we
were checking out the guy called us FOOLS for camping for a week! REALLY? I
didn't know if I should throat punch him or laugh at us for camping in animal
infested, 100 degree temps, and prime time for storms daily..... I have shared
with several friends our camping plans and you know... people don't get back to nature enough! Pack
your bags, round up the family, get into the woods, and turn off all the
electronics!!!! Just get dirty, sweaty, rough, and in touch with nature. We get
so wrapped up in social media that we forget it's nice to just take a step back
and enjoy YOUR life and the little things! I am not knocking for sure because I
do love me some social media, but every now and then I find it refreshing to
detox from it.
I am thinking about starting YouTube videos for weekly chats
soon.... Not sure how it will go, but it's a thought for now! I think it would
be neat and definitely a great way to connect with my followers. I love reading
and writing, but sometimes it's nice seeing a face and hearing a voice....
makes it easier to connect and get a better understanding of what's being told.
What do you guys think? I am also considering posting a poll to see what you
guys want to talk about and if you would like a questions section.... I would
love to hear your thoughts, questions, feelings, etc.... It can feel a little
one sided and gets a little lonely when there is no interaction, LOL!
I keep looking at the clock, calculating how much sleep I
will get if I go to sleep now! Dang Starbucks! How about I deleted all my
pictures on my blog tonight! Talk about a mini stroke..... Thank God for
GOOGLE, I was able to restore them all! That may be why I am still up because
my heart hasn't resumed normal beating yet.
So, I spent Friday night in the ER because I have been
having trouble with my cycles since the miscarriage in August. I have been
having two cycles a month for five months! WHAAAAA!? I can handle one, but two?
Ummmmm, no! I have been putting it off, but it has gotten worse. Luckily I only
have cysts on my ovaries and a polyp, both should clear up on their own and if
they don't birth control bills can usually fix it. I am following up with my OB
on the 29th to check those and my hormone levels. The fertility medications we
take as surrogates can really throw off our normal cycles and hormone levels. I
don't think enough surrogates think about the realistic harm we may be doing. I
mean yes, we think about it as a "possibility" and know it could
happen, but until your facing reality I don't think you ever prepare yourself
or accept the risk.
I read a blog update recently about a surrogate mother who
had a full hysterectomy and almost died after her C-section with her surro
baby! Things you never think will happen to you! They do happen for sure. Thank
God for the amazing medical team, prayers, and determination that brought her
back to her amazing family. So scary to think it could be anyone of us at any
time. Surrogacy is truly a magical journey, but there are risks and very ugly
parts to it. I thank the stars that none of those I have experienced. I am to
this day very thankful and blessed to be on the journey I am.
Okay, I need to get into bed before I am of no use tomorrow
when we set up camp! Although, I do NOT enjoy that part at all. I wish I could
wiggle my nose and snap my fingers and it all be done! I truly enjoy being
alone with my family, just enjoying each other without any interruptions! Have a
wonderful week y’all!
Tomorrow
I need to get something's off my chest! Maybe these words don't help you, but it's how I feel! Stop saying tomorrow because if you didn't change today, ain't nothing going to change tomorrow. We're not promised tomorrow, if you don't have the strength and the courage to change today, what's going to change tomorrow? You're going to be the same person today that you're going to be tomorrow, so get off your butt and do something to make your dreams come true!!!!
You have to motivate from within! You have to have a healthy balance of motivation internally and externally! Nobody calls me every morning telling me get up eat right and go exercise! I do, I motivate myself! You have to be able to do the same, get off your butt take control of your life! Change the things you want to be changed, be the change that you want to see! Stop relying on supplements and surgeries. I'm relying on me, you have to change you, nobody else can change you! NO surgery NO supplements can do what you can!
Can you do me a favor, take "but" out of your vocabulary! BUT is only an excuse to validate your inactions, BUT will keep you down! It will keep you from achieving your goals! So many of us go through life like we have no goals, like we aren't special, like we can't do it! You can do it!!!!
When people talk about who is the strongest person they know, who inspires them most, and who motivates them they say someone famous or a loved one. When someone ask me who motivates me, who inspires me, who is the strongest person in the world.....do you know what my answer is? It's me! I inspire me, I motivate me, I am the strongest person in the world because I can get through anything! Anything that I set my mind to I will achieve! I can't is not in my dictionary, it's not in my vocabulary! I can, I will, I do!
This is not just for working out or eating right, this is your life! Any aspect of your life! This is about working to become a better YOU! Life wasn't meant to be easy, it's made to be lived!
