this month was nuts. the list synopsis doesn’t do it justice. even though I cannot mark off the first four items on my personal list, my health isn’t a failure… i fulfill each of them [an exception being the crunches] 70% of the time, but, don’t feel like I can mark them off so it looks like I don’t do them at all. they are noticeably missing from december’s goal list, b/c, hey, I’m not too worried through the holidays whether i am a good girl or not.

my friend who i scheduled meals for, angela, had her surgery on november 21^st, and a week-and-a-half later, was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer. it’s been a lot to absorb over the past few weeks, but, people from church, and friends and family, have all been volunteering to help angela and her family, and i’ve had the privilege of helping organize much of it… i would consider that a big accomplishment for this month.
