A tribute to our fathers

Saturday, June 15, 2013

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!
7 years: My Dad knows a lot...a whole lot.
8 years: My father does not know quite everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?
60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

Good News

Wednesday, June 05, 2013

We took our youngest daughter to the neurologist today. After her first, and only, seizure that occurred three weeks ago we are now reasonably certain that she does not have epilepsy. She had recently taken a new prescription and the doctor believes it is possible that her seizure was a side effect.

I am happy to know that he is pretty confortable that she will be okay. She will follow up with him on occasion. I am thankful for answered prayers. So many of you have been so supportive.

I am encouraged

Saturday, June 01, 2013

I have mentioned in previous blogs that I love to join challenges. If I follow challenge teams, I will stay with them and see progress. I need the structure of challenges. I had been rather discouraged in the past few weeks that I had stayed the same weight. But this evening I looked back to February 2013 and realized that I was 7 pounds heavier. Many people lose more than that in a month. However, I am in my late 50's with health issues. I am satisfied that I see the improvement. I hope that I can do as well in the next few months.

A quick blog and a prayer request

Monday, May 20, 2013

What a day....I drove my daughter to a doctor's appointment because she was dizzy and nauseated all weekend. We were driving her car and of course, she had to tell me how to drive all of the way there. After all, she is 25 and knows much more than her mother who has driven 40 years. lol I then drove her to work since she felt ill. I was back at home and 3 hours later received a call from a co-worker that she was in a seizure, vomiting, etc. in her office. OMG, that scared me. She has never had a seizure. Thankful that we had driven back to Ohio for a few weeks. She was transported to the hospital E.R. where where hubby and I met her. It seems after all of the tests it was an epileptic seizure. She will be having plenty of doctor appts since this was her first attack . So that shall keep us busy.

Asking for prayer for my daughter.

I am a butterfly!

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I love the 5% challenge. It gives me the uuumph to actually focus on my freggies, water intake, increase my exercise minutes....challenges seem to really help me.

I belong to the Beautiful Butterflies. What a perfect time of the year to be a butterfly in the sunny Spring. What a friendly group as well.

I cannot say that I look forward to weighing in every week. However, from doing this challenge previously...I do lose weight when I participate in a challenge. Try it, you can do it as well.
