Be Captivated by the Wonder of Today Have you noti Be Captivated by the Wonder of Today Have you noticed that most women are always in a hurry? We hurry to potty train our children, and then hurry them off to preschool so we can have more leisure time. And yet, when they finally leave home, we long for the days when they used to put their little arms around our necks. Then we wish we hadn't hurried through those years. Or, we hurry through the grocery store in the afternoon because we still must make it to the drugstore, the gym, and the dry cleaner's before 5:00 p.m. Yet, in our haste to check things off our to-do list, we miss the elderly man in the produce department who needs a word of encouragement, and we never even think to help the young mom in the checkout line with three young children and a cartload of groceries. Hurry has become our addictive pattern in life. The extravagant and undeniable truth is this: today is the very best day of your life! Fall in love with being alive today! As a significant woman, made in the image of God, I can choose how much splendor I will squeeze out of today. If our focus is fixed on the remote possibilities of tomorrow, we will never be captivated by the wonder of now! We must keep in mind that stress and its accomplice, weariness, are unseen thieves that will embezzle the joy and peace right out of a wonderful day! Women in every season of life must always remember that the choices they make now determine the joy and love they will experience in all their tomorrows. Whenever I am fighting off the monster of stress, I have found it invigorating to keep the following declarations nearby. I choose to lay aside my to-do list and take the time to remind myself -- out loud -- of the priorities that are most important for me: "Today, I will make myself at home in the pleasure of this day and find the fingerprint of God in every moment. I will listen for His heartbeat and the song of life that comes only from heaven." "Today, I will connect myself to the present...and be captivated by the gift of today!” This study spoke to a lot of us today. Want in Bible study with us? Message me. I met 95% of them from IG and FB. #reclaimingmylife, #reclaimingpatty

I was so intimidated by “love” growing up. I’d get in a relationship and if it got too serious, I’d cut and run. I’m not sure why. Maybe losing my dad played into that. Maybe I wanted to control the personal disappointment that “might” happen. I fell for Dave but I even cut and run on him. Thankfully he believed in second chances. We got married at 30 and tomorrow he turns 60. He officially kicks off the Deters’ family birthday season. I look forward to many more years loving and living together, especially as I continue to “reclaim my life.” Happy Birthday, @davestri.ing! #reclaimingmylife #losingweight #ww #wwcommunity #diet #weightloss #gettinghealthy #howtoloseweight #lifestylechange #motivation #progressnotperfection #transformation #weightlosssupport #fitnessjourney #fitspo #healthylifestyle #health #instafit #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #healthylifestyle #wlstories #nsv, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #motivation, #birthdayboy, #thankful, #birthdayseason, #birthdayseasonbegins

I endeavor to live this way and teach my kids this I endeavor to live this way and teach my kids this too. It’s not always easy, but if we pause and think a minute before reacting, it’s very helpful. If only everyone could do this. It's not easy but if we can just try, just make a start somewhere; can you imagine how much empathy, peace and understanding there could potentially be between individuals, and in this world? We can't always understand everything another person is going through but we can always try, if we really cared and wanted to. We can always at least be compassionate and kind. And let's try to understand the other person's story before judging and jumping to conclusions. Let's try. Let's try and understand each other's perspectives. Here's to trying! #repost @parneetas_corner #perspectives #respect #compassion #compassionate #kind #kindnessbeginswithme #peace #understanding #empathy #trying #tryingmybest #tryingtostaypositive #tryinghard @drawingsofdogs , #reclaimingmylife, #makeitcount4dani, #wlstories, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #pattysfreshperspective
Keep on Praying! Jesus said, "We ought to pray an Keep on Praying! Jesus said, "We ought to pray and not to faint." (Luke 18:1). He told us to be persistent in our prayer life. Think about Elijah, who prayed one time and fire came down from heaven on Mt. Carmel. But it took him praying three times before God resurrected the dead son of the widow. And Elijah prayed seven times before God sent back rain on the earth during that time of drought. Elijah learned to pray and trust God's timing ... and don't give up. In Christian history, we also think about George Muller who lived a life that was one of the greatest demonstrations of answered prayer. When he died, he had 50,000 documented answers to prayer! Five thousand of those were answered on the day he prayed them. Of course, that means 90 percent of the time, George Muller just kept waiting an praying. He prayed for 63 years for one man to come to Christ before that man ended up doing so! Like Elijah, George Muller learned that we can trust the Lord. He said, "Don't let yesterday's seemingly unanswered prayers stop you from praying in faith today." So, I want to encourage you: pray! God knows His perfect timing. He may answer right after you pray. He may wait weeks, months, or even years. He will wait until He is most glorified in your situation... so, don't give up. You can wait on the Lord and trust His timing. Keep on praying. #warroom, #warroommovie, #warroombiblestudy, ##rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #prayer, #keepgoing, #reclaimingpatty, #reclaimingmylife, #motivation, #inspiration, #whatidowhenitrains

Every cloud has a silver lining. I can’t use my Every cloud has a silver lining. I can’t use my hands right now (carpal tunnel), but I can hike! College children can come home and still keep up with their work, so hello daughter! Pandemic hits! People don’t travel and sit at home and say, hmmm I think I’ll buy new blinds. Business is up 25%, meaning I’m at computer 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week (hello carpal tunnel). I’ve decided to accentuate the positive.

Throwback Thursday! First perm! I’ll guarantee Throwback Thursday! First perm! I’ll guarantee you I did not think it would look like that. Our dad cut our hair in the garage and lots of times with a bowl. I remember when my parents agreed to let me go to the salon and get a perm. That was a big deal. I was hoping to look more like Jennifer Beal in Flashdance than Doris Day. Oh well lesson learned. Do you have a haircut story to share? #throwbackthursday, #reclaimingpatty, #reclaimingmylife, #haircuts, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #funnystories
Inspired by @qfbteresa photography, I thought I’ Inspired by @qfbteresa photography, I thought I’d give it a shot. The lady next to me said people want to see pictures of you swimming????? When I explained my journey and my joint pain with RA, she immediately said, “Oh, I have arthritis and swimming has done wonders for me.” And I said, “See, there it is. That’s the message I want to get out there. And that’s why I take swimming pictures.” Check out @myswimpro if you would like help structuring your swims.

Too good not to share 💕 As we grow older, and h Too good not to share 💕 As we grow older, and hopefully wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $1,000 or a $10 watch — they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $500 or a $50 wallet/handbag — the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $100 or $10 wine — the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 100 or 1,000 sq. ft. — loneliness is the same . You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. SIX UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE: . 1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price. 2: “Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food." . 3: The One who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find 1 reason to hold on. 4: There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it. 5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to give as much love as you can back to the world. 6: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together! . SIX BEST DOCTORS IN THE WORLD: 1. Sunlight 2. Rest 3. Exercise 4. Diet 5. Self Confidence and 6. Friends! Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. If you agree, share it! #reclaimingmylife #losingweight #ww #wwcommunity #diet #weightloss #gettinghealthy #howtoloseweight #lifestylechange #motivation #progressnotperfection #transformation #weightlosssupport #fitnessjourney #healthylifestyle #health #instafit #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #healthylifestyle #wlstories #nsv, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #motivation
