Perspective

My day today made me thankful for my blessings.

To start my day a friend called me while in tears. A dear friend of her's has cancer and took a turn for the worse. She asked me to pray for her friend. Of course I did.

Next, I went to church and really enjoyed the lessons and I felt like I had a spiritual boost. I had considered staying home this week because I am really exhausted, but I am so very glad I was obedient and made a better choice.

Then, this evening after talking with another friend, I realized how much she is going through with her own family. I now feel my family problems aren't much compared to what she seemed to be dealing with. How blessed I have been.

And of course.... the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!

Celestial University

So I am going to try out Celestial University --- a goal setting program with degrees to earn. It's kind of the last thing I want to do right now. But this is why I'm doing it. This past year I have felt my motivation level to complete any goal is really depleted. I get things done but not without a lot of procrastination and then great effort at the last minute.

Now it's time to turn over a new leaf... why does this leaf feel like it weighs 50 lbs?

I am creating a link to my blog if you want to check it out.

A Scary Week!

Golly gee! I am the worst blogger ever! :) Okay.... time to say something new. Hmmmm... well this week Dad had a stroke, minor heart attack and some other serious health issues arise. Talk about a STRESSFUL week. And what did I do? I ate. Man that makes me mad!

Anyway.... Dad is doing great. Really he is.... He is home from the hospital and very active. He's not allowed to drive though because his memory was affected some as well as his vision. We are soooo grateful that he is doing so well.

We had so many people call to check on him and make sure he was doing alright. Dad has a lot of good friends who care about him. I'm sure that made him feel warm and fuzzy inside! If you are reading this and you called to see how he was, or helped out in some way during our crazy week thank you so much!
