Old, fat and frumpy - when did that happen?

This is what I feel like today...





This is what I want to feel like...


Have you ever had a day where you woke up, took a good look at yourself, and wondered what happened? It's like those commercials on tv right now where the woman walks in to the lost and found and says that she lost herself. The guy asks what she looks like and she describes herself 20 years, a marriage, and however many kids ago. I spent most of the day today alone and I had so many "lightbulb" moments, I felt like I was glowing.

I think there are more things "I used to do", than I actually do. I also think there is truth in being able to take better care of others if you're taking good care of yourself. I have felt so crappy lately - how much of that is a smack up the side of the head from God?

I can't expect to raise independent children, who look after themselves well, if I can't do it myself, now can I?
