Choosing Joy

I love Thanksgiving. The meal and the football are (of course) my favorite parts. I also really enjoy a day to talk about being thankful and truly enjoying life in general. This holiday, however, I am needing to really choose joy. I am with my nephews, who could be the most ungrateful, self-centered boys I have ever met. Normally when you show up after an extended absence, a person would make it a point to actually say hello. Not these two, whatever they are doing is ALWAYS more important then even saying hello. They also complain constantly and one of them is on the phone texting his girlfriend the entire day. (or playing video games) Usually this puts me in a pretty foul mood, but not today. Today I am choosing joy. Today is the day that I let it slide. I am not going to get angry today and try my best to not get aggravated. I hope everyone else can also do the same today.

Weight - 210.8 I am hoping to maintain the next couple days. Today I think I can eat smart, but everything my mother-in-law makes today is going to be FATTY. Then tomorrow is the Husker game in Lincoln, so it is always tough to eat good. If I can maintain, then Saturday and Sunday will still give me time to get down to my goal weight of 210 this week.
