Slow Progress & Door Prizes

I was a bit disappointed yesterday when I went to Weight Watchers and discovered I had only lost ½ a pound. Darn! I was hoping more than that would have disappeared wherever it is pounds go to when they disappear. Someone asked me if I had lost any and when I mentioned I did but not what I was hoping for, they told me the exact same thing happened to them in week two or three so that made me feel a little better. That’s when I decided I’d look at it from another angle. If I add the ½ lb. to what I I’ve lost in the first two weeks it brings it to a grand total of 7 pounds. When I think of it that way it sounds a lot better. In any case, I’m further ahead than when I started. Right?

Ah, and there’s more blessings to add to the day already. Here I am sitting at my computer writing on my blog and Mr. Canpar, the delivery man, appears at my door with a brown package tucked under his arm. Books! I think. But wait a minute. I’m a bit confused. The parcel doesn’t look big enough to hold five books. I sign on the dotted line, send him on his way and take the box to my desk. I rip it open and find out two of the books have been back-ordered and are to follow later. But that’s okay. Look what I’ve got to start with. Three books and all about writing! Could there be a better way to start the weekend?
