A1C, Baileys, big girl pants, celebration, cholesterol, snow, sun

quite the day weather-wise… started out warm and sunny, snowed for a long time and then the sun came back out…

when I left for the doctor’s office it took me about ten minutes to clear the snow off the car… by the time I got into the car after my appointment much of the remaining snow had melted off the car…

  

here’s what it looked like out the window when I got home…

  

had a great appointment… blood tests showed my A1C test came back at 6.2 which was good news… she was pleased with my food diary and blood sugar records… and, my blood pressure was perfect in her words…

I don’t have to go back for three months and can start to eat a bit more protein at meals… I do need to eat more fish and maybe get a bit more exercise as my good cholesterol is low, although the LDL number is much better than the last test…

wanted to celebrate and considered ordering something for supper… then decided I would make the supper I had planned in the morning…

rather proud of myself, lol… but I did have a few chips and a little glass of Baileys…

lots to celebrate this week…

great evening…

be together, blessed, celebration, healing, hugs, insights, laughter, powerful sense of home, reading, ReImagining, sharing, tears

Monday night I had dinner and spent time with my ReImagining friends…

it is always wonderful when we gather…  we take turns hosting, some more than others, depending on our current situations… someone looks after the dinner and someone else leads our program… there are lots of hugs, deep sharing, lots of laughter, and often tears…

we had a lovely chilli with all kinds of toppings, salad, ice cream with chocolate sauce; checked in around the table; had a short program, and then we finished reading our book…

we lit candles in celebration of Candlemas and Valentine’s Day…

lit candles...

lit candles…

then we looked over a number of offerings for our next read…

we have moved from programs that were on a variety of topics, and took a fair bit of time to prepare, to simpler gatherings…  the important thing is to be together and so recently we have been reading out loud and discussing guided questions…  no one has homework, and we get done what we get done… often a simple question will take us off into a wonderful discussion of life… what insights we share…

these women have been part of my life for at least twenty-five years and provide a powerful sense of home when I am with them… after the last week it was very healing to be with them…

really, how blessed am I…
