Heaven Is For Real

I read this book in one day. It was sad, inspiration and has kept me thinking since I finished it
last night. Being raised by strict Catholic Mother I was taught by priests and nuns there was a
heaven, hell and puratory. I spent a lot of time as a child in fear that I had to be really good to
go to heaven. I feared what it would like to die.

This book by a small child told me heaven is a good place where even if you are old or sick you
will be young when you get to heaven. It is never dark in heaven and it is a happy place with
angels with wings. I wondered if really existed. I am more sure now than ever.

I felt a calmness after reading this book.

I got this book from the library but have decided to buy it and put it with my special books I
cherish.

Amazing what one small book can do to a person!

Just Plain Cute

Somedays you just need something cute to make you smile away all your stress and daily frustrations. This did it for me today.

Don't worry I  know this does not apply to my almost 70 year old butt!!

Period!

          This sums how I feel about life period. I try to live by this.
           If You are nice to me, I will be nice to you. Period.
           If everyone would do this things would be so much nice.
           Period!

Trying To Keep Busy

Retired and recently laid off trying to keep myself busy led me to a card making class at Humana.
It was a very small class and all supplies were included and really is was fun. Each of the ladies in
attendance were very nice and I signed up for another class for St Patricks Days card. I am trying to
fine things that I like as sitting home is just not what I want to do. I figure if I keep searching I will find
something to keep my mind busy. I have managed to keep physically busy by attended an almost
daily class at the gym which is such fun for me. I have met nice people and look forward to each and
every class.

Keep trying and trying is all one can do!!

First Snow Of Winter

Today 1/12/12 we finally got our first snow of the winter. A total of 3 inches has made the birdhouse roof
look like frosting on a cake.  The front door has snow blocking the opening. Been waiting for snow since
first part of December and hoped for a light covering for Christmas but this did not happen. So finally we got
the missing snow which was quite a shocker due to the fact yesterday it was 54 and sunny. Tonite below zero and windy/cold.

To add fuel to the fire the recently repaired snow blower decided it did not want to run today! Out came
the snow shovels and a backache to follow! I am always the one who says I like snow and winter but this
afternoon I wanted the warm and sun of yesterday!

Note to self: Be careful what you wish for!

How Can You Not Smile

So the Weinermobile was at WalMart yesterday and there I was with camera in hand.
My daughter is a fan of the weinermobile and we saw it last year also.
She still has the whistle she got when we lived in Iowa. She is now 50 and that was maybe 40 years ago.
I tried to get her another whistle but they had all been handed out!
Honestly I have no memory of seeing this when she was a child but she does and that is the most
important thing. I smile at this through her eye and memories. It is pretty cool!
My daughter is pretty cool also!

2012 My New Scale

So I decided I need this new fancy scale that ofcourse gives me my weight but now I have my body fat, water , muscle
and bone percentage base on age, height and weight. After I got all this programmed I wondered why I needed this!
I have wanted to know for some time my body fat percentage and now I know. It really is just slight 2% over where I
should be. All other stats were in my good range so guess I should be happy about that. Now this scale is looking at
me everytime I even think about a chocolate treat. Perhaps like my old scale it needs to become a a toilet paper holder!
It is January isn't this what people think about this month!

Oh yes and I got my new programmed pedometer so now I have all the necessities!
