Spiritual Sunday

I've decided to devote my sunday posts to spiritual things, and I invite you to do the same thing. Just borrow the photo I made above and take your sunday post to reflect on your spiritual life. This doesn't mean just your church life, or even your relationship with God.

There was a point in my life where listening to show tunes and driving was my way of worshiping and being spiritual. I have a friend who gets a cup of coffee and visits book stores on sundays, she says its her spiritual experience.

I have recently returned to church, and now I am working with the Life Teen group at a parish in Marietta. It's a bit of a drive, but I really love it. The mass is full full full of amazing people who are supporting the teens 110%. The music is upbeat and amazing and I still get a little misty eyed when we sing. The songs are such an amazing way of praising God!

   

This is one of the songs we sang tonight and it was amazing!

Peaking Out From Under A New Leaf

hey y'all!

So today has been... tuff... but I finally feel motivated to turn over a new leaf! Im putting myself first, making friends, not trying to find my next man, working on me. I've wanted and needed to do this for a while but I was too scared, I just wasn't motivated. Idk what happened this weekend, but I just realized that I was helping myself stay down. And that wasn't good for anyone, especially me. I was so down on myself for things that were out of my controle, I was just making everything worse.

I think it was going to church this sunday, and seeing the counselor on saturday. I realised how much I really enjoyed both & how much they both used to help me. I still dont know what took me so long to do it, but Im really glad I did. My new plan is to stay busy! When your busy you dont have time to be sad or depressed.

So now I'm going to have a weekly schedual for myself. Im working it out right now, but this is my idea:

Monday - night off, I need a day to go to sleep early

Tuesday - Mani, pedi, gotta get ready for thursday

Wednesday - Join a gym!

Thursday - CIA event! Click here for more info

Friday - YAM event (any catholics out there want to join, please email me!)

Saturday - drs appointment, GYM, and clean my room

Sunday - laundry, sleep in, church & LT

I figure if I do a schedule like this for myself every week Ill stay too busy to be down and sad and depressed :)

And I am working on being strong with the guys Im chatting with. Im not at the "I dont need a man" stage but I think I could get there, maybe. For right now, Im not txting them or calling them unless they contact me first. I dont feel/seem needy. They have my number, and they have cell phones. Why am I always the one who has to start up the conversation? Thats just not right!

And because Im spending less time worrying about guys & all that jazz, I can focus on being a better friend to my friends. Spend more time with them, be the friend Ive always wanted to be :)

So this is my new leaf, stay busy, and focus on the positive. Life will be way better that way.

My To Do List

This week I am not going to just come home and do nothing.  Im making myself a To Do list and I am going to do it all!

1. Join a gym - I have 2 to pick from, so Im going to decide this week

2. Return christmas gifts - anything thats local, Im going to return them this week

3. Clean out my desk at work - bring home old magazines, books I've read etc

4. Bake some cookies - everyone loves cookies

5. Stop in at the weight watchers place by disco Kroger - see if its something I might be interested in

6. Make a budget for myself - no more willy nilly spending

7. Pray - I need to figure out if God wants me to be a core member at St Anns

8. Manicure, pedicure, brow wax - I look zombie like

9. Clean my room - at least an hours, just get it a little more livable

10. Sign LR & I up for the Dip n Dab in Feb.

First Date #564

Well when this post posts, if blogger agrees with me, I will be at dinner with this guy:

We're going to call him....

Well I dont know yet, we've talked a little bit, but hes not much of a phone or txt guy... might not be the one for me, but hes nice. I guess we'll call him Mr Nice until I come up with a better name. lol.

Heres the low down on Mr Nice

Name: Mr Nice

Age: 31

Occupation: not really sure

Hes nice, kinda quiet, a little nerdy. But hes a sweet guy. Im not sure we'll be a good match, but we've been trying to meet up for dinner for a while. We've been chatting about a month, so the fact that I cant tell you much about him speaks volumes, but you never know, ya know... lol

He told me to pick the place, so Im going to be using my trusty Scoutmob app :)

 

Truth be told theres another guy Ive been chatting with for a few weeks, I havnt mentioned him on here, I guess Im trying not to jinx him. He has expressed a desire to meet, but with out actual plans, Im leaving him out of my blog. But when & if he does ask me out, Ill be sure to update yall. 

So dear boy, if your reading thing, you should ask me on a proper date. Im cute and funny and I promise it'll be a fun evening :)

**** UPDATE*****

Blogger must be on a completely different time frame from me, because this was suppose to post at 8.15pm and its now 10.15 and it still hasn't posted... weird. 

well on went on the "date", which was fine. Mr Nice was just like his name, nice. He likes his job, he talked a lot about it, about his friends and his new place. 

But there was no spark. Decent conversation, but I just couldn't see myself dating him. He'd been engaged 2x before. I just kinda felt like maybe I'd just be #3. 

I am excited about this weekend, Im going to church where Im hoping to join the Life Teen group and become a core member. Im really excited about this. 

I'm also thinking of joining weight watchers, has anyone else done WW? What did you think?
