Cube makes a great point, we are here, as far as we know, just once.  Make the most of it.  But we all know that “switch” is hard to turn one way or another when you are in the midst of whatever mood it is.

I struggle with control - controlling what I eat, controlling being lazy, controlling my behaviours and guilt related to work and kids - everything comes first but me.  And I have to wonder, do I like being able to say, ‘I have no time for me’?

I was telling my boss about this weekend when I was taking the shower and in that 15 minutes each of my girls and my husband came in to ask me something.  My boss, “why don’t you lock the door”.  So really, why don’t I?  Well, duh, then I can’t say I have no time to myself.  So again, I can control it and choose not to.

So, today, this week, one meal at a time, one hour at a time I will make better decisions - not perfect decisions, but better decisions to be healthier and to create boundaries that in the end make me a better mother, wife, and friend.

And that will give me control, power even, and hopefully flip a switch on my mood. 

Matt - I challenge you to posting a made up song each week for the month of November :)  If you do, I will!  It’s my thing you know
