My 2012 Promises to Me

Sunday, January 01, 2012

Today begins a New Year. I pray it is a better year for DH and me than last year.
Beginnig today I will remain positive. I will accomplish this by daily beginning the day with formal devotions, just me and my Lord.
Then I will faithfully do an exercise DVD.
Followed by a nutritous breakfast.
I will walk about the house every two hours if we are not going out.
I will closely monitor my snacks. Three snacks, AM, afternoon and evening. At least two will be fruit or vegetable.
All this to aid a weight loss of half pound per week.

Now it is in writing and I can re-read it as needed amd add or amend as more comes to mind.

THERE IS NO X IN CHRISTMAS

Friday, December 09, 2011

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Take away all the secular aspects and this is what is left. For Christians December 25th is Christmas. For all others it appears to be Winter Holiday. Ok! Call it that if you must. But please don't exchange Christ for an X. A Blessed Christmas to All

December 7,1941

Thursday, December 08, 2011

On the national level this was a day which has lived in infamy. However, in my small two year old world, this was the day I finally met my baby brother. He was born on Thanksgiving Day and came home from the hospital on this infamous day. I called him this evening to commemorate the happy aspects of that day

On the other hand, after this day, Dad and Uncle David joined the marines. Uncle Bill joined the navy and served on the USS Iowa, and Uncle Woody joined the army. David lost his life on Okinawa. All the rest returned safely. David, too, returned to be buried in the local churchyard.

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!!! I will never forget,

I Finally Saw the Light

Tuesday, November 08, 2011

Everyone in the great NorthEast of the USA knows that the power went out/off October 29th. Ours faded to black at 4 P,M. No heat, no light, no cable, but we had the telephone.

I had more exercise than I usually do when we have electricity. I ate according to the heart healthy diet. But we probably didn't eat enough. We went out everyday for a warm meal and drank water at home.

November 2nd was our 48th wedding anniversary. Ate at IHOP that day. Surprisingly it is possible to order fruits and vegetables more than in years past.

We had a lot of tree damage in the yard. The emergeancy areas are taken care of and an appointment made for the other damage.

Last evening I was dozing (have been going under the covers for warmth). When DH said the most beautiful words I have heard,"They;re here". Four trucks of angels from New Brunswick illuminated the street with their high beams and tackled our problem. Within an hour we had lights and DH turned up the heat.

So I am finally back and hope all my Spark friends fared well through the dark week.\\The trees have been removed from our vehicles. Cable should be reastored anytime now.
God's in His Heaven, all's right with my world.

The Week of the Dentist

Friday, October 21, 2011

What is the dental hymn??

Crown Him with many Crowns LOL

I don't remember what we had planned for this week. It all changed Tuesday when my tongue found a loose crown.


Wednesday an AM and a PM visit to the dentist replaced a fun meeting of my retirement group. Plus it was raining meaning achy joints and real pain walking.

That evening I had trouble flossing around that tooth so another phone call in the morning set up another visit this noon. Niw my teeth are once again forming a beautiful smile.

A decade ago my teeth were being ground down to small stubs. I prayed to God to save my teeth and He sent me this wonderful dentist. Thank You God, and thank you Dr. K.
