Thank you for asking about how I am. Short course I am fine. No direct impact, but as all of us in the area, we are touched in varying degrees. My house was a mere 3 to 4 miles and my school the same as it went along an eastern track across Newcastle, Moore, South OKC, and then dissipated.

I heard Time magazine titled it 16 minutes. In a way you can prepare for tornadoes, we knew a week ago and then 3 days out that a tornado was a "moderate" risk as they forecast. They nailed that perfectly the forecast was 100 % accurate. What caught us all off guard was an F5 developing in a mere 16 minutes. It caught me. I was monitoring the radar at school, and saw a slight blip and saw dark ominous clouds so knew to watch out. Next thing I know we are told to take cover and 5 minutes later the tornadoes sirens went off. That means tornado on the ground.

This has impacted us all greatly. I am physically OK, but we won't ever be the same here quite again. This was the second big tornado Moore had in 14 years. May 3, 1999 there was another tornado as bad that went through Moore on about the same track.

LOVE your status. Gratitude is a powerful force, in my experience. I was very touched by your comments on my page. I truly appreciate the encouragement. I, too, had one of those Easter's, in terms of eating Easter candy as if the Easter Bunny himself had hypnotized me! emoticon emoticon It was sort of horrifying but also very necessary for me to see just how undisciplined and careless I had become around food, once again. I, too, am an ex-smoker (and had a number of attempts, as most of us do, I think). I remember procrastinating every time a craving would hit - 27 years later I am still putting off that next emoticon , thank God. I am STILL grateful to have quit smoking. Yes, my sister-in-law's house was lousy with sugary junk food. I have never seen so much junk food in one house (and I have hosted my fair share of slumber parties for my various kids). It was like she robbed a 7-11 and had the loot delivered to her door! It was really good for me, ultimately, as I feel like I passed some wacky test. Like you said, with each craving confronted and conquered, I become a little stronger. I am glad you are doing so well - you deserve every blessing and then some. Take care!!! emoticon

I keep meaning to stop by and thank you for your encouraging words on my "whole lotta love" blog, so, here I am (finally) thanking you. I am happy to report that the situation with my brother in law is still going well. We are all just taking baby steps. How are you doing? Are you still running a lot? I hope all is well with you. emoticon
