The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for

I have taken the last 3-4 weeks off... I know, horrible.  I haven't gained a pound... I haven't eaten horribly, but definitely not well.  I've put work first for these past few weeks - and guess what... NOTHING has improved, I'm not a better teacher, I'm not a better person, I'm not better at all.  Me first, Family first, MY HEALTH first.  

I could do a huge long post about all sorts of excuses and such... but i'll just post that i'm back & ready :)
