Eat.. Pray... Love

So for the past week or so my feet have been the size of footballs. Is that normal? I think not. I went to so many doctors about this and no one can help me. How in the world can i start walking when i can't even put shoes on? Hmmm... you answer this one because i really can't. I tried to google it and i was surprised to see how many women out there have the same issues and they can't figure out why this is happening. Anyway i didn't mean to write about my humongous feet.

This is about eating and praying and loving .... as in the book by Elizabeth Gilbert.

I started a new job last week and at first i tried to go out to lunch with the ladies from my department but eventually i realized that maybe I'm not wanted there. A few months ago that would've hurt my feelings, i would've been all depressed and very emotional. Not anymore.... God has helped me realize that it's OK to be alone because when you think about it you're never really alone. God is always next to you... if you let Him. And I do :)
So now every day around lunch time i grab my wallet and my book and i drive to this little shopping area that has everything from In-N-Out, Chipotle, Inka Mamas, Daphne's.. you name it. I discovered last week just how good Chipotle is so now that's become my #1 spot.

I order my food then drive to this empty parking log behind a movie theater, park under a tree and open my windows so i can feel the wonderful breeze. And then i eat and pray and love the quiet and the peace around me. Sometime i panic when i think just how happy I am. Nothing has really changed in my life except ME. I still have the same car, the same husband, the same kids, the same friends and the same crappy apartment lol.. and lets not forget the swollen feet... but i am happy.

Well time to get back to work.. whatever that is since at the moment i have nothing to do. NOTHING! But that's OK.

Thank you Lord for another blessed day in my life.
