Friday Fill-Ins


1. Why do we have to exercise to be really healthy? It's just not fun!

2. Some healthy choices are now habits, exercise in not one of them.

3. I have more than I could ever ask for. God has been so good to me.

4. I had never heard the phrase "Progress not perfection" and it helps me know I don't have to accomplish everything immediately.

5. I have had to refrain from asking that my husband load the dishwasher the way I always do.

6. How was I to know that if you didn't tell me?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to celebrating my 27th wedding anniversary with my husband, tomorrow my plans include a trip to Six Flags over Texas with a favorite friend and our kids and Sunday, I want to attend worship services and hang out at home!

Happy Anniversary!!!! Wow 27 years that gives me such joy to hear of couples who have shared so many years together, and are still looking forward to more.

Your #1 made me laugh, I was complaining about my ex dvd's in my post.

Hope your having fun in 6 flags.

Love,
Carol

What a testimony---27 years!!! CONGRATULATIONS. It was a beautiful day here in East Texas; hoping you enjoyed that same sort of weather at Six Flags.

Totally agree with you about the exercise. Simply walking regularly sounds like a very do-able task but I've yet to even master that!!

Hope your weekend is filled with laughter and precious memories!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
