This past Sunday was Easter. I had a great day with the family. No more Easter egg hunts for the kids (okay, so they're 25 and 19). As a matter of fact, I didn't buy any Easter candy this year. NO peeps, marshmallow eggs, or all those other things I buy for others because I am selfless like that. I then tend to 'help' them consume these treats because I am nothing if not helpful.

Instead this year, I made a small, simple dinner. I did make everyone's favorite dessert but just a single batch which worked out to one serving per person.

I then took the frozen cookie dough that I had purchased from a school fund raiser (which has been sitting in my freezer taunting me) and baked all the cookies and gave them away.

So it's a new week and I'm left with no leftovers and no temptations.

Life is good.....

Priorities

I haven’t written in a long time and my weight is up since last fall.

What do I attribute this to: winter blues, family crisis, working overtime….
I would love to stick a label on it and place blame. But it was me.

It was poor planning on my part, not setting my priorities, and having big, catered pity parties for one. Not the best plan.

Gandhi said it best: Action expresses priorities.
