"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you'd better be running." Author Unknown

A Path Within a Path.

Being in a new town, in a new house with a new schedule and new living arrangements can be, well, new. Its not stressful, as some would imagine, but just the opposite. I'm surrounded with family and the comforts of home. My girls are in a happy place... loving their new environment, family and animals!

Since being here I have yet to have an episode of heartburn... tummy pains... or anxiety. If I feel the beginnings of any of it I step out the front door and take in the beauty that lays just beyond the first step. The different birds that swoop in off the towering trees. The playful squirrels that hang upside down from the hammock and chase their tails up a tree. The peace of just being here.

This move, as scary as it was to make, was for the best. I keep praying everyday that God will continue to show us the path He wants us to take.

As for this weight loss blog... well, its still going to be here. At least for a little while longer. I am at 173.2 as of this morning. I will try to be better about posting on here... xoxox

It is amazing what a change of scenery could do...before my wife and I took on this season's assignment at Canyonlands NP, I had this very strange eye-lid twitch for proceeding months. Now, even though I spend as much time in front of the computer (if not more because it is also our entertainment without a TV), I have no more twitch. Sure, I've continue to lose weight as well, but now I think the twitch was 100% stress induced. If you are a Pink Panther fan (depending on your age), it is totally like the chief inspector who hated Crousoe.

Anyway, very exciting for your new life's journey.

Sounds like this move is just what you needed. Glad it's working out for you so well. I struggle with change, so I'd be freaking out a wee bit!

Take care!

Sounds like a lovely place. Glad you are feeling better! Your trip sounded like quite the adventure, too! Oklahoma is definitely tornado alley. Ugh.
