We finally got another
lovely day. No wind, or cold temperature. It's just right to stroll
around the block. I came in after a short walk around the
neighborhood. I stopped and took a picture of my neighbor's golf
cart. It is a very nice low-speed electric vehicle, and it takes
commanding position over it's owner's truck, which stays parked in
the street. My next door neighbors were sitting out in lawn chairs
enjoying the beautiful weather. They both are recovering from illness
that kept them inside for a long time. It was nice to visit with
them. We are also rejoicing over a nice rain that made everything
start to green up fast. We are truly counting our blessings.
I stayed home from the
Center today so I could clean house. I will be having company in a
few days, so I had to get it in gear. Maybe I can take off a few
pounds that the good food at the Center has put on me. It is very
easy to get into a habit when it comes to eating food that you didn't
cook yourself, especially when you eat with others who are guilty of
the same lazy habit. Three times a week we have these blessed
lunches, and I am always ready to go. The meals are anything but
calorie free. I find myself indulging in the cake or pie with ice
cream that is served so often. After running the sweeper over my six
rooms of carpet plus a long hallway, I am starving. I have a light
meal set out for the evening, but It will take some extra discipline
if I stick with it. Fish and mixed vegetables isn't much to settle
for. Absolutely no dessert for this evening. I need to lose ten
pounds in one month. I will let you know if I make it happen, but I
really doubt I will. I love my Senior Citizen's food and fellowship
too much to give it up for a month. I have a certain dress outfit
that I want to wear to my granddaughter's college graduation in a
month. I can't wear it unless I lose ten pounds.
I have felt much better
today after finishing a week of ups and down's. I don't know why we
all have to endure those days, but it is always so good to see them
pass away. That is not saying everything is perfect, but it is saying
God took the worry away from me. I believe He will make all the
crooked roads straight for some who are striving to travel the sharp
curves without any brakes. I will never stop praying for them, but I
will be able to unload my burdens of them. Jesus walked on the water
to get me when I was sinking. “Praise His holy Name.” He said He
would not put more on us than what we could handle. I have stood on
that promise for many years. He has never failed.
God Bless
