My Journey Toward A Trusting Heart

Thursday Thoughts

Catchy, dontcha think?? Oh brother...

We're gearing up to leave tomorrow for FL, for TWO WEEKS!! Its our first 2-week vacation. We usually split up the four Mark has into at least that, all a week here/there...but this time we're stretching it. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

I'm taking no more clothes than usual...we can do laundry...but I am taking several books, plus my writing "stuff" (floppy, notes, etc)...and music (iPod) and some walking tapes.

I'm at it again...walking, I mean. I go in spurts. Last time I gave up because I just wasn't seeing any benefits quickly enough. I mean, honestly, I was walking AT LEAST 3 days a week, for about 45 mins at a shot, and noticed NOTHING changing at all. How discouraging. I mean at the very least I thought maybe my shoes would be looser or something!? I am gonna have to walk a LONG time to see any improvements in the body, but there was NO visible improvement anywhere...I at least thought my face might show it. But no.

SO, I'm at it again. This time determined to stay with it, improvements or not. In the long run I know it'll happen...I must stay the course. So, I'm supplied with some walking music, and a couple DVDs for walking indoors. (Leslie Sansone) I haven't tried those yet, but might find time while we're gone...considering it'll probably be 100 degrees in Orlando, even early!?

Wish me well, will you???

Too Kate down south about 45 miles to meet up with our long-time friends, the Jorris Family, from Ft. Wayne IN. They are kids pastors there; heading to IA to do the Assemblies kids camps for the next two weeks. Kate is going along for the fun of it, and will help with puppets and a few skits...plus probably find some stuff to do around the campground. The directors are also dear friends, the Oberbecks. So it'll be like spending two weeks with family...then after that she WILL be spending time with family.

Her dad's parents, Bob and Aurlette Driver, will pick her up from camp on the 21st. She'll then spend about 10 days with them and the other Driver clan, esp her cousin Rachel. Rachel is older than Kate by 2 months. They have stayed very close...

then on the 30th, they'll drive her to Des Moines where she'll be met by my brother and then they'll head to KCMO, where she'll spend about 10 days with my family.

Whew...busy busy times, eh?
