Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 <Grin> Very cool! When I get to goal, I'm going to start buying myself a single perfect flower every week to stick in my own marble trophy vase to remind myself of how far I've come. A little levity to end the week... this is a poem by Dorothy . One Perfect Rose by Dorothy A single flow'r he sent me, since we met. All tenderly his messenger he chose; Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet- One perfect rose. I knew the language of the floweret; " My fragile leaves, " it said, " his heart enclose. " Love long has taken for his amulet One perfect rose. Why is it no one ever sent me yet One perfect limousine, do you suppose? Ah no, it's always just my luck to get One perfect rose. Found My Marbles ! BlankI took the advice of one of our members and got a glass container and some flower marbles. I put a marble in for each pound I've lost. The cool thing is that it's a nice reminder for me to see how far I've come and no one has to know what it is . I can't wait to put some more in tomorrow after I weigh in : ) Ginny 260-186-129 Goal for 2004 380 Pages Completed 485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I lost mine. If you find them, will you email them to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I pulled out my marbles (actually more like glass stones) and two vases (one for pounds I want to lose and one for pounds lost). I have to admit that when I counted out the marbles it looked like a pitifully small amount - especially holding my 3 marbles in my hand (3.5 lbs loss). So I decided to count four marbles for each pound - that way I could also count my half pound loss!! My vase with pounds lost is on my bathroom counter so that when I wake up and get ready for the day I can see my progress. Right now my vase with pounds to lose is under the sink so I don't get overwhelmed. I love this idea - Thanks !!
