- Bought new runners today, so that means I have no more excuses for not beginning to run/walk regularly! (well, except for the Arctic temperatures lately!) A friend and I signed up for a 5km Trail Run happening March 23rd. See, if I tell you here, I'm more likely to follow through. Please keep me accountable. ;)
- Son M (who lost his job when the Daily News shut down) was offered a new position yesterday! He now works for TRU, our local university, as a graphic designer. His first day was today, and he LOVED it. :) Very, very thankful am I! Nice to keep all my chiddlers around, if possible. Three out of four right now!
- Made mashed cauliflower today and hubby asked if there wasn't some potato in it. That's how tasty and creamy it is! ;) I think I've won him over. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up potatoes. Apparently they are very high in potassium and my body likes potassium.
- One of the reasons I'm continuing with lo/no sugar and grains is because it seems to help with lowering blood pressure (speaking from others' experiences). I am still trying to be free of my medication. It's a slow process, and frustrating at times. I don't take a lot, but I am hoping to lower it and then eliminate it, but it's not that easy! Wish it was...
- Continuing on with my Bible Read Through 2014 and finding it fascinating how much more I'm learning and seeing the 'big picture', how events and people are connected. Seeing Bible characters' personalities so much clearer and feeling more emotion about certain people and events. I loved Moses (almost cried when he died) , and thought Samson was a spoiled kid who never grew up. Saul was so insecure from Day 1, and now I understand a bit more why he was. He came from the tribe of Benjamin (the smallest tribe), which apparently, made one pretty close to being a 'loser'. Wow, he was totally driven by fear, anger, and jealousy. Not a good combination. Have read 1/4 of the Bible so far this year. There's a Facebook page where participants can share what they've 'seen' that day. Very interesting. As well, I've met with a friend down the street on a weekly basis. We get together, have tea, and just chat about what we've learned that week. It's a great way to study the Bible, really it is.
Have a great rest of your week!
keep blogging - I like keeping up with your life! =)
ReplyDeleteI'll tell Dan to stop in and see Mike! That is pretty sweet.
Yes, it is pretty sweet! :)
DeleteI like how you are reading through the Bible and sharing it with your friend and FB page what is learned. It is fascinating isn't it to get to know the people of the Bible better? Since I've been doing this study sort of of the prophets and the kings, etc., I've come to appreciate so much more what was going on during that time in Israel's history and why God had to send them into exile; it was the only way to get their attention I think.
ReplyDeleteYea that son got a job and didn't have to relocate!
You can do that 5K run! I hope the weather cooperates though so you can get out and do some training.
betty
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Betty!
DeleteHi Neta! It's so nice to see a post today! What great news about your son! And that fact that he loves his job is such a bonus. It does a heart good when the children are settled, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAre you cross-country skiing? Is that what you meant by runners? How fun! And such good exercise too.
I love that you are trying to advocate for your health. I decided to day it's just 'time'. Then my friend just dropped off a chocolate cake...sigh. I've got to be strong. Thank you for being a role model for me, I need it!
Blessings,
Ceil
Hi Ceil! Runners are running shoes or sneakers (American?). Cross country skiing would be fun, too, but it's too cold right now for me to even consider that! ;) Chocolate-- that is hard to decline!
