My friend sent me this sweet message, clearly a "chain letter" but I thought it was very apropos for our fatsecret friendship:
Four things you can't recover:
The stone........after the throw.
The word.........after it's said.
The occasion........after it's missed.
The time..........after it's gone.
Knock, Knock I knocked at heaven's door this morning. God asked me...'My child, what can I do for you?' And I said, 'please protect and bless the person reading this message.' God smiled and answered...'Request granted'.
If you send this to seven people and the one who sent it to you, you succeed in praying for eight people today.
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
I know I am fighting many battles - and sometimes our enemy attacks something we need and would do anything to have (food, time, love, children!). Hang tough everyone! We may lose some battles, but we are here to win the weight-loss war!

Yes ... thank you for sharing. Indeed we all are fighting battles, we just aren't always aware of each others battles. Nice ... I'm reading your "dunkin donuts boston creme donut" and drooling!!! LOL!!! I have a major case of the cravings and snack attacks lately ... thank goodness there are no good donuts in my town!! LOL!!!

My older daughter came home and had thoughtfully bought me a donut - no irony or sarcasm intended. I had not had breakfast so I ate a third of the donut and will probably have the other half when I get home, but it wasn't worth eating the whole thing actually. I accepted the donut with love, ate a little to love the little donut, and then stopped when that process was done. Mindfulness and care, buddies, mindfulness and care!

I like the way you put things today in your own response to the e-mail ditty. The words above are so right. We are all fighting some kind of battle. Take care of yourself! You're the best!

Abba, you are so right. There are "forces and principalities" on a playing field that we cannot even see. Your quote about being "kinder than necessary..." really touched me. Right on! In a really tough decision or trying times, if I remember to try to figure out what The Enemy's plan/trap might be for me, then I do the exact opposite! LOL....and experienced very happy occasions and times that I would have otherwise missed. He comes after the strong ones a lot...you must be a MAJOR threat to him. You go girl!!!
