Tonight as I sit here waiting for the day to end, I am SO EXCITED
what the next few days will hold for me. Our family has planned a "girl's weekend" in Sedona, AZ. My daughter Christina, younger sister Janice, niece Corina, fly out tomorrow morning to meet my older sister Judy and her daughter Lisa, for a weekend of "WOMAN FRENZY".

We have so much planned, including a trip to The Grand Canyon. We know we won't have time to do all we hope to do, but we sure are going to try. This will be the first ever trip like this for us and we are really looking forward to catching up with each other.

I know in my heart that this will be a weekend we will all never forget. We are all looking forward to having a fabulous time!!

Good thing my arm is sufficiently healed to be able to make this trip. I was determined that nothing was going to keep me from going because I'm one determined BHW!!

Catch up with everyone next week! Vacation...here I come!

Today as I sit here and ponder what I want in my life, I realize that it's all up to me. That I can't depend on someone to do it for me.

I also realize that I'm not too old to start something new. So, as I think on this realization, I will not limit myself to things that "I think I can't do".
I can do anything that I want to do without having unrealistic boundarys.

So look out world...here I come!! I'm ready!!

Having the time off to reflect on my journey, has given me new hope for the direction my life is about to take. Soon my children will be moving out, so Lee and I can continue on to the next phase of our lives.

Having the empty nest syndrome will be such a happy time for us since our children have lived with us most of our married life. They are 34 and 31! I will be very happy once they move on to enjoy their lives in their own space as we do the same.

I've told my husband to brush up on his conversation skills! It will be so nice to be doing things ourselves without the conflicts we have in our lives right now.

It can't happen soon enough for me! That's why it's been so hard for me to be home with this broken arm. I have so much to do to get ready for our move, that makes this time frustrating. But I have been keeping busy and this site has really helped me keep my mind active and positive. So a big thank you for my BraveHeart friends!

Today I spent the day sleeping in late, talking with my husband Lee and my daughter Christina . I also spent quite a bit of my day reading other ladies messages and trying to figure out what I wanted to receive from joining this group of wonderful souls.

As I sit here contemplating on that thought, I'm satisfied that whatever I'm looking for, I will find in due time.

With so much time available to me as I recover with this broken arm, it finally allows me to do something that I don't normally have time for. And that is TIME - to do what I want (with limitations of course!). You don't realize how fortunate you are to have two working arms when you have them.

I will never take having a fully working body for granted again! Maybe this is the lesson I'm supposed to take away from this experience. I do know that once this arm is healed, I will begin immediately to shed the excess weight on this body of mine. It's been hindering so many things in my life. It's TIME for me to start taking care of myself and to take advantage of EVERY DAY that I have.

I'm so grateful to everyone who posted on my blog from yesterday. It is so nice to find a group of women who are so willing to share information to help empower women.

I will be sharing this site with all my friends.

Hi...

I would love to start this out with great news, but I am sitting here in my living-room with a fractured arm. This happened on Wednesday, last week after a fall at work. I am hopeful that I will heal so I can continue my life. It's hard typing with one hand!!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning to find out if I have to have surgery to put my bone back together. Not looking forward to that!

Keeping a smile on my face....

Blessings.....
