New Goal

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” ~ Maya Angelou

University of Central Florida

Maya Angelou was such a wise woman. So many of her quotes resonate with me.

Harvey is being moved from the ICU to a private room this afternoon. He seems to be doing better, though was not alert. We talked to various doctors and then waited for the nurse from the nursing home to arrive before leaving. We were there about four hours.

I’m trying to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other, doing the best I know how to do each day, and then doing the same thing the next day.

Stressing about the situation doesn’t help. I’m trying to SEE what is going on as objectively as I am able, base decisions on FACTS – not emotions. I’m not being totally successful, but I’m doing better than I was.

I’m doing everything I can to relax when I can. This helps me stay calm when we’re having to really listen and make decisions based on what they recommend plus what we know about Harvey.

We will see him tomorrow.

Low Carb “Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders” Recipe

Maya of WholesumYum.com really knows her stuff. She prides herself on coming up with low carb recipes to die for that don’t have a lot of ingredients, and the ingredients she uses are readily available. Good food, low carb, delicious.

Yesterday I tried her “Baked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders Recipe – 3 Ingredients”

 

I used chicken breasts, cutting them lengthwise. I have to admit, I forgot to turn on the vent/blower over our stove and the temperature on this is very hot, so two of them went off toward the end of the cooking time, but we removed them and put them outside for the couple of minutes or so left and then during the couple of minutes of broiling.

My husband ate his dinner in front of his computer in the office, waiting for tech support to call. He came out soon after I took his plate into the office, saying, “This is the best chicken of this type I’ve EVER eaten. Juicy and delicious. Please put this recipe in our do-over-and-over group.” To say this happens rarely is an understatement, so I felt good the rest of the evening, basking in the glow of having served such a delicious dish.

THANK YOU, MAYA!
