Good morning! I feel much better after lots of sleep, so let's get started. I've given this some thought and I've decided to do this 'weekend wrap-up' a little differently. Instead of breaking it up into days, I'm going to talk about topics. Today's topic will be about travel and general observations. I hope you like this format, because I really do think it will be easier to sort through everything and give you the my thoughts this way. That's up next.
But first, I want to take this time to let you know other (big) news. I am going to be slightly tweaking the blog. As you know, I've only been doing this for 3 months (doesn't it seem longer??). I'm still trying to figure out my voice and how I want to get information out there. I don't just want to continue on with showing what we eat for dinner, I want to show you why this blog is called The Wellness WAR. How my whole family interacts and reacts to me and my 'agendas'. I've been known to have big ideas and start things and let them fall by the wayside most of my life. I'm an idea man, Chuck. (Big points for knowing that movie quote!)
I get ideas in my head and usually run with them full steam ahead. I am fortunate to have a husband that fully supports everything I get into-he's my biggest cheerleader. And the kids, well, they don't really have a choice now do they? But they are old enough to have opinions and give me feedback which I think is so great. You should hear the things that come out of Bubba's mouth. He is hilarious and insightful and witty. D is so intelligent it shocks me-I always joke he was switched at the hospital. And BabyGirl is so sweet and kind and sensitive, I don't know how she'll make it through this tough world! I want to share all of that with you, I want you to step into my life for a bit each day. Isn't that what blogs are for?
Anyway, I am hoping that you will like the blog even more and will continue to follow all of my crazy ideas and plans and meals, of course. Perhaps the biggest thing I took away from this weekend is this:
You should not apologize for giving education and encouragement and compassion-Brenda Davis, RD.
That's what I want this blog to be-I want you be encouraged and inspired. I want you to laugh and I want you to think. I hope that I can give you all that because I'm really going to try. And feel free to let me know if I'm failing miserably, but I hope you'll also let me know when I'm succeeding!
