Slow Fade

"It's a slow fade when you give yourself away..." these are words in a song by a group called Sanctus Real.
Remember I told you that I have been listening to the christian radio station? Well, I have to tell you, their tag line is "positive and encouraging"; while I find nothing positive or encouraging about this song, I do find truth. Just like an alcoholic or a drug addict doesn't wake up one day addicted when the previous day they were completely sober, I did not become the person I am today overnight. It was a slow fade. Over the course of time, I went from an Army Wife with a great marriage and family to a single mother with almost nothing. I slowly figured out that I was tired of the "needs of the Army" always coming first. I figured out that my wonderful and loving husband took "service above self" very seriously. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of his service, I just didn't want to be 2nd place anymore.

so, I haven't been keeping up with my walking and I didn't finish my first project from my quilting book. my goal for this weekend is to walk today and sunday and to finish the project. now that i've said that out loud, I have to follow thru...maybe this blogging thing is good?
