I work the graveyard shift. There were mechanical issues at work so I had to leave an hour and 45 minutes early. Now, I'm not complaining as I was very tired and it came as a relief having to leave early. The truth is I've been working for the man for over 40 years and I'm getting tired. I would like to hang in there until I'm 65 but it may be a struggle to do so. I'm praying for God to give me the strength to fight the good fight until the race is won. That's really all that I can do.
I must confess that it is a little lonely posting during my new wake time which I am trying to stay up until 2-4 AM each night so I can still sleep some with hubby when he get in at 7 AM. Even though an international site....Most of the posting is day time American time and evening.... The overnight hours are light in posts.... I miss all my friends who are in bed.... Well guess I will have to make some more new friends that are overnight ones.... Best go check and see who is posting now...
Thank you, haha. 
This is good advice. I had peanut butter bread the other night for a snack, so I think it was healthy.
I probably should do this more too. Lol! I forgot to keep good veggies in my diet sometimes.
Thanks, both of you!

Perhaps if she felt guilty about the snacks she could eat a carrot to make up for it.

This is a rare real post from me lol, but someone asked me why I put up with something, so I was thinking about it.
I'm really bad at giving up. It takes a lot for me to give up on something/someone. I'm stubborn. Some don't get it, but to me that's like accepting failure or defeat, and it's just not in me to do so. It just isn't. I don't want to feel like I didn't give something my best shot. But, I'm trying to learn to let myself acknowledge that sometimes you have to accept that. Not that it will change anything. It won't. But maybe I can at least admit to myself when I am fighting a battle that can't be won, even if I'll fight it anyway. I'm okay with that. We are who we are.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference
We all have our crosses to bear. I've been fighting a battle too and it wears me down at time. Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight. With the grace of God that's what I intend to do. You can too. We are not alone.

i think that quality is actually good if you use it for the right reason. Rather than fall into the trap of mediocrity...
