Healthy - yes, but still high calorie, so in good measure. Here is my feta omelette (which, aside from the bacon - but I only usually use 1/2 a slice or less - just to get some flavour, is quite healthy). It really gets one going for the day without the carb/sugar rush of many breakfast foods (that create a slump late morning and then all day long):<br />http://sarahsbonnetbees.blogspot.com/2011/03/feta-omelette.htmlSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370095814271780946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-81858735959112257342011-04-07T13:43:47.210-04:002011-04-07T13:43:47.210-04:00You are so right about making a positive change in...You are so right about making a positive change instead of just trying to stop a negative thing!<br /><br />Here are some ideas for <a href="http://articles.earthlingshandbook.org/2010/03/10/we-eat-this/" rel="nofollow">nutritious foods you might want to add to your diet</a>.<br /><br />Miss Chickory, I struggle with the alarm clock too, but I've had some success by <a href="http://articles.earthlingshandbook.org/2008/03/29/slaying-the-snooze-button-sloth/" rel="nofollow">giving up the snooze button for 6 weeks</a>--it's a lot easier for months after that, before I backslide!'Beccahttp://articles.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-23988530067022833102011-04-05T22:44:46.105-04:002011-04-05T22:44:46.105-04:00The Reeves Family - yes I mentioned this on my Wom...The Reeves Family - yes I mentioned this on my Women Living Well Facebook page - the previous photo had me in a name brand shirt that offended some of my readers - so I took it down.

Sign up started April 1st. The goal is to get families to study the Bible together and to memorize verses along with the meanings to those verses, together. Then the kids get to compete if they want in the Fall. Maybe this helps with one of your goals? Not replacing specific Scriptures for your family, but in addition? www.biblebee.org for info on this wonderful opportunity for families. God bless as you 'press toward' these goals.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027037290197231409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-9036010377230750172011-04-05T14:08:47.680-04:002011-04-05T14:08:47.680-04:00Courtney,

There is sooooo much dead leaf in my life, and as you spoke of the tree, my immediate thought was that new life will soon get rid of the deadness (just as you went on to say!). I immediately thought of my own life and how I have pledged - in this past week - to read - *really* read my Bible - not just out of duty as I do daily, but as His Living Word to us. To me! I have some time now, so no more commenting, and no more blogging! I'm off to read HIS precious Word, and pray that God would speak to my soul.

Your words gave me just the things I needed to ponder on and remind myself of the things I wanted to work on as I live this life. The first big question for me was - what do I want to be different? Sometimes I can just get myself on auto pilot or think that things are 'wonderful' because I checked something off my to-do list. There is more to this life and I want to pursue that.

But when you struggle with depresssion, it gives you a complete lack of energy and hinders any progress toward self-discipline.

And it makes such a positive difference on our entire day (we homeschool too). This has been a good quote for me:<br /><br />"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature- trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars the moon and the sun how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." ~Mother Teresa<br /><br />Silence (just a little)... to be able to touch souls, at home, and everywhere. <br /><br />Read the post called Sweet Dreams and Starlight, here:<br />http://apainterlylife.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweet-dreams-and-starlight.html<br /><br />Most sincerely, ~Carla =)Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871451526146450344noreply@blogger.com
