Day 7...First day of Winter

The radio started talking to me at 6am. I really didn't want to get up yet, mostly cause I know how cold it is. One round of snoozing...then I was up and walking with Leslie Sansone. My trips to the gym will be later in the day, I don't want to go out into the frozen tundra that early in the morning. On the other hand, that is a great way to wake up!! You don't have to worry about not being awake enough to do your workout, the blast of fridgid air opens the eyes quickly!!

And now...upstairs to the scale to see if there is any improvement. Even if there isn't, I won't mind cause I just feel better knowing that I worked out 5 of the past 7 days!!!

Feeling blessed

I was thinking about my perception of my past. When I go to Celebrate Recovery and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life. It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about. Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person. He had some good qualities. He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous. He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better. We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape. We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

Happy Monday! Not quite as cold today - but still fall-like. Left work early today to go to a Dr. appointment - now I have a little extra time to relax before heading to Celebrate Recovery tonight. I will tell you more about this wonderful ministry some other time, but feel free to Google the name to learn more. My husband looked back at some pictures he took this summer when my sister and her husband were visiting. My brother-in-law passed away a couple of week ago, after a battle with cancer. DH cropped down this pic for me - I love it! Have a blessed night! Missy

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting
