I always told myself the next time I have my camera, I’m gonna stop & take a picture. It took five years. I was only when I knew I would no longer follow this path to a place I no longer work.

500 channel satellite & nothing really is on except food shows. Did you notice that the bigger people get, the more food channels come on? Did you notice at shopping centers, they closed retail stores & replaced them with restaurants. Food prices are going up & up & up. Because while we are climbing back (we hope) from the “Great Recession” The thriving industry is food….a man’s gotta eat.

I had this up today & took it back down. I thought maybe I’m putting too many Jewish things up. This blog is not about religion or politics, The blog is just images I see that make me feel something. click

This was from the Cheese Cake Factory. I ate a slice & felt no guilt before, during or after.
Everywhere I look, people are obsessed with how they look. Sometimes I get caught up in that stress. I look at my 16 year old’s perfect body, the one I had when I was her age. I decided I had my time to shine & someday she will have wrinkles & scars earned by raising her own family.
When my body was perfect, my life was about getting my driving license, new clothes, boys, never how much I weighed. I now know how much work I put my body through. I never knew there would be a physical limit…that I would age?
I have begun to accept who I am, the scars & wrinkles & a little extra weight is worth everything I’ve done to be here. Me & my husband made our family.
I also know I need to take pleasure when I can find it. So I ate a whole slice, & savored every single bite. I should have pie, I deserve it. & you know what, it was so filling I couldn’t eat any dinner. Bonus! All of us are aging & none of us can stop time. & if I want pie for dinner…”can you add extra whipped cream & maybe a cherry on top?”
