Well, January 1st, 2022. We made it! Some of you are striding across the finish line of 2021 to get an award ribbon for your wonderful accomplishments. Praise the Lord! I am truly happy for you, and wish you continued success. Some of us are scraped, bruised and battered, and are dragging ourselves into the new year. I feel ya!
2021 has been a wild roller coaster ride for me! As many of you know, from 12/27/20 through 6/27/21 I lost a whopping 60 pounds! From 6/27/21 through today, I've been totally off the rails and have gained almost all of that back. The final result, though, is that I'm almost exactly 10 pounds less than I was a year ago today. That gives me a little glimmer of hope.
I've been praying that God would show me what He wants me to do in the New Year, and I've yet to hear an answer. BUT, my ears and heart are open, and I will just start by putting one foot in front of the other, taking baby steps until I get my marching orders. I'm going into 2022 more questions than answers, but I still have a sense of optimism about the future.
My goal for today is to drink ONE 8-oz bottle of water. That doesn't wound like much, but it is eight ounces MORE water than I have drunk in the past six months. Like I said, baby steps.
I'm going to try to get back to journaling every day, and try to start responding to YOUR journal entries again. I'm not going to try to catch up on everything I've missed - just start where I am, and move forward.
The first two Daily Accountability challenges for 2022 are set up, and I'd love to see some of my old buddies joining me as we venture into the future. And, I'm looking forward to meeting lots of NEW buddies this year, also.
Today, we begin.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a Mystery.
Today is a Gift,
That's why it is called The Present!
May God bless us all!
Debbie
