If I were to win a dish cloth that is being given away here, I would choose a dark maroon one with dark green edges. I hope I WIN one. |

My sister, Robin, encouraged me to show the world the bookshelf my husband made last August. So here it is. The beginning.  The middle. The end.

I was so blessed with the following beauty on my walk this morning. It is beautiful EVERY morning, but this morning I took my camera to share with you.  I started walking 10 minutes north and 10 minutes south in March....got a little side tracked, but am back on schedule. Now I walk 22 minutes north and 22 minutes south and THIS MORNING, this was the view as the sun was coming up. (don't worry, I don't walk in the dark, it just looks darker than it is)
 As I looked north I saw the eye of a hurricane (Go Figure!!! I live in Indiana). God was just messin' with me.
 At this point I have made my 22 min. north, and am heading south.
 Another pretty view. This is a hill. I live at the other end of it. When I first start out, it is a nice stretch out for the old legs. Then up hill I go and I am on a incline/level out/ incline level out for 22 minutes. On the way back. I still huff and puff (you would think it would be DOWN hill on the way back ????) This is my final obstacle. Going up that last incline after taking it easy for a little while is tough, but not as tough as it used to be! May YOU be blessed in YOUR exercise today! |

I have lost 5 pounds since starting my exercise/food reduction plan. It is tough. Just wanted to share. |

Acclimate means to adapt to a new temperature, altitude, climate, environment or situation. (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition). As winter plods along dutifully, I had an occasion to ponder the word 'acclimate'. The weather in Indiana starts to chill around October. There are warm days and cooler days. November brings chillier days. December brings even chillier days. But there are no words to describe our beloved January, February and March. Global warming doesn't cross my mind in these three months. Thankfully, God has made it so that with each month, you become MORE acclimated to the weather. It's not 90 degress one day and then 20 degrees the next and that is all there is to the changing of the season. It is a gradual process for the most part. (yesterday was the exception: 50 degrees in the afternoon with thunder/lightning.....a few short hours later ... blizzard-like conditions). As cold as the temperatures can get, I can say there is NOT a more beautiful sight than looking up into a crisp January night sky and seeing a multitude of celestial bodies gleaming right at you. God makes them shine just for ME. (or so it seems) They seem close enough to touch. As I stand looking up in awe....somehow the 14 degree temperature doesn't bother me a bit. I guess the stars help me become acclimated. |
