I don't smoke or drink alcohol or coffee. I do drink herbal teas occassionally-at home. I do overspend though. The way I do that is spending on things I may need or want but did not plan to spend or have in my budget. I generally always write a budget but do not always follow it which messes me up in a lot of ways, especially inside , I feel guilty and out of control

i used to be so desperate! I am still hungry for a mate , but i am learning to not to look for it - to let go and let God. I focus on my relationship with Him, my children, my job, my business, and etc. and other things. God is preparing me and him. when the time is right we will get/be together. in the meantime i am just enjoying my life and getting to like/love/know who i am in Him. Thanks for your comments.

i can agree with Janna too. i know now that i do not need a marriage to be happy .

I agree with frankie's comment. I like to break down big projects into smaller ones either by times of 15 minutes like she suggested or by taking it down project by project such as hanging clothes up today and sorting a small pile of papers.

I thank God and you for this article. I really feel I am on the right track now. I keep making small changes.Like eating an apple. Eating a fresh carrot and cucumber salad with less dressing and etc. Key-don't give up!
