Battle Won!
OK, so lately I have given up, sugar, cheese, eggs, and other milk based products from my diet. I was already a vegetarian, but I wasn't eating as healthy as I should. I took my diet as a license to eat whatever I wanted. And I haven't told my mom and sisters, because they already think I am insane for not eating meat.
That being said, yesterday I spent the day at my mom's house. We were going to watch Twilight together (yes, i know, this was not my choice). Mom looks over at me and says, "do you want to get some hot glazed doughnuts". Oh my God if you knew me and how much I loved hot doughnuts, then you would understand the significance of my response. "Can we get a more healthy alternative." My mom looks at me with disdain and goes, "well there's nothing wrong with eating like this occasionally." I could tell I offended her. "It is for me, because once I get started I cannot seem to stop," I told her. She nodded, "oh yes you are right, if you cant stop then you shouldn't have any." Yep, always try to make it seem as if there is something off with you and most people won't think you are being stuck up!
When the doughnuts arrived, the smell was intoxicating. Oh how I wanted to taste the delightful sugary lumps. I smiled as I sat there in the room watching others eat them, happy for their enjoyment, but elated that I didn't loose my battle, this time!

What's Left?
It amazes me how we all want to leave this huge mark on the world. We never stop to think, what mark the world is suppose to leave on us. What have we learned? Who have we loved? What did we see? We at times feel like we need to do something spectacular before our time here is cut short. We can literally see this huge clock ticking our time away. Then depression sets in, because we feel like we will never get there and we will probably be this utter waste of energy.
I think about my children, my husband, and my life and I know I have missed out on some wonderful memories and opportunities because I have let that all fall behind me, chasing something that never existed for me - "A Master Plan". The plan that tells you everything you are supposed to do when you get here, who you will meet,what you will do, where you will go. The plan that got messed up when your life got in the way!
It is my experience that life is supposed to be lived for your sake and that any mark you leave on the world should include your peace, love, and happiness - I know its pretty cliche, but cliches are real too.
