Lovebirds

If we can, we'd love to spend long periods of time with each other.

I've been thinking about him today, so I made him this card. A complimentary letter will also put a smile upon his face.

And though we only argued tonight, I still have so much affection for him. I don't recall ever despising him or getting upset with him. I love that he don't give me any stress.

I have a feeling he'll call back in the wee hours of the morning.

A poem for him, about him.

Make Up Makes Me Feel Good!

My summery evening look

Trying out the double eyelid illusion

What can I say, at my age, natural beauty needs some assistance. Lol!

And I enjoy playing with makeup, though I'm not too creative.

Weight Loss

I didn't lose so much weight but I did lose a lot of inches. I'm still going diligently.

Everything is Beautiful

Amongst the forgotten and faded,

tattered, scarred, and broken,

with beauty so deep beneath the surface,

no one finds your beauty,

nor knows of your elegance.

God forever blessed me

with a heart that was able to feel your beauty,

a mind capable enough to see your greatness,

and a soul that bathes in your tranquility.

Sweet Things Said

What's the sweetest thing your partner has ever said to you? What's the sweetest thing you've ever said to your partner?

I mean everything I say to him but I don't recall if I've ever said anything very sweet to him. Of course I flatter him and assure him that I love him but I don't recall saying anything that is very sweet, having him sighing for days.

But he has said something so sweet to me, I can't even believe he'd said it.

"Because of you, I have to stay alive."

Gosh, how heart warming can that statement get? Being in his position, and I just hearing this, makes my heart weak! It means so much to me that he'll strive to stay alive. It warms my heart that he'll stay alive already but, for me to be the reason to do so, gosh, it's tremendous! It's so honoring that it makes me want to return the honor to him. But what can top staying alive for someone?

Because of him, I'll do well and be successful. I love Tut!

I got seared

I went to the beach with family and friends; and though at Pismo Beach, it wasn't all that sunny, I still got seared, despite my SPF50 sunscreen. The sun and I are no match.

Impressive Results!

I'm on day 4 of my veggie and fruit fast and the results are impressive! So far, I've lost 5 pounds, that's 1.25 pounds in a day. But more impressive is how much my glucose level dropped. My fasting reading was around 230 and now it's 180! I'm so proud of myself.

I feel a difference in sensation in my feet too! My feet used to swell up, it looked all puffy, my toe nails would grow into my skin and penetrate the skin, causing a wound, and it would worry me of infection but now, it's changed. Through out the day, my feet don't swell up anymore and when I elevate it at night and wake up in the morning find that they are small/slim, it reliefs me and makes me happy! I was so concerned that I may one day get my feet amputated. But now I have hope! I wish to one day, completely get rid of my diabetes symptoms! I know that I'll live with this disease forever but I can get rid of the symptoms.

On another note, these days, I miss Tut so much! Not hearing from him makes miss him even more. The only comfort I have is knowing exactly what he's doing each hour of the day. I know that he thinks of me but not as much as I think of him. If he did think of me as much, he'd probably go crazy. But I'm glad he has a good mechanism of coping. I'm so proud of him. He's strong, emotionally and physically, after having to go through what he's been through. I believe he's the strongest person I've met so far and, in some way, some how this gives me leeway to be weak and emotional. I guess that knowing him and feeling his positivity, I finally feel like I have a place to rest my guard. But I still needn't to be this way. He's in a difficult place that requires support from all his loved ones, including me. I need to be strong and carry him through each day, month, year. And I will be strong, be it with all my effort. I want him to be okay and good. I love him.

Father, please lead me and Tut in this life, give us strength, give us motivation. May You be our strong hold as we begin this chapter of our life in Your eyes. In His precious name, amen.

Fast

I'm trying the fruit and veggie juice fast. I'm hoping for a great outcome!

Wish me luck!

This is day 1!

I've Been Crafty

I know I have summer goals but I've been so crafty lately. Lol!

Match-box gift holder, made from stock cards, ribbons, beads, and pattern paper; these are gift fro my 9 and 12 year old nieces.

I created a new bangle holder, recycling a CD spindle and toilet paper holder. I just used permanent tape to tape on the pattern paper.
