Gratitude

gratitude.jpg gratitude image by XLadyPortiaXThis says it so well. I owe a big debt of gratitude to Dr Marc, and all my wonderful buddies here. There are too many to mention, afraid I would miss someone(that would be bad!), so let me say it here.

Thanks for all the prayers and support and hanging with me while I was so sick, I feel that all that has paid off. I feel so good today, energized and lessed stressed out! My heart is overflowing with thankfulness for each and every one of you!

I was discussing with the lady I ride with this morning, how much we have to be thankful for. I’m not “rolling it it” But I have enough. Roof over my head? check

Food to eat? check(sometimes too much, lol)

Clothes? check

Friends who love and support me? Check

Good job? Check

Loving family? check

Family healthy for the most part? Check

I could go on and on. But really we all have so much to be thankful for. And I consider my loved ones(this includes my Buddies) and my heath number one on my list.

Had to share this with you all, I’m a thankful kitty today!! Keep looking up!

Beautiful thought for the day…

Got this in an email, touched me so much I wanted to share it…

Keepers

I grew up in the 40’s/50’s/60’s with practical parents. A mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a Name for it… A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.   

   

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress Things we keep.

    

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there’d always be more.

     

But then my mother died, and on that clear summer’s night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t any more.

      Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away…never to return. So… While we have it.. it’s best we love it… And care for it…. And fix it when it’s broken….. And heal it when it’s sick.

    

This is true… For marriage…. And old cars…. And children with bad report cards….. Dogs and cats with bad hips…. And aging parents…. And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.

    

There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special…. And so, we keep them close!

     

I received this from someone who thinks I am a ‘keeper’, so I’ve sent it to the people I think of in the same way.. Now it’s your turn to send this to those people that are ‘keepers’ in your life. Good friends are like stars…. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

Keep them close

OMG!! I’m so busy!!!!

too busyLOL, this is the story of my life right now! I’m don’t have time to be sick! And this bug just keeps hanging on. I did read on Web Md that it is ok to exercise, with a cold, as long as there is no fever, so will go back on it tomorrow. My chest was still feeling gross this morning, so I didn’t do it today. I did do 12 challenges last nite, though!

So, I’m trying. Poor Ted is still sick, too. And work is driving me nuts. Way too busy for my liking, had meetings all day and have to work late tonite!

Hope you are all having a good day! Hugs, to you all! Kama

I’m back!!

CALORIES

Whachadoin So how are we faring on this Wednesday? Work has been crazy, crazy, crazy! Trying to keep up can be so nerve wracking! Plus being sick, too. I’m sorry if I haven’t been the best buddy lately, but I do keep all of you in my prayers! Have been keeping up my devotions, but not my workouts due to being sick. Gonna try some floor exercises, tonite, and go to bed again early, although not as early as last nite! :shock: 

Ted has the bug now, I swear we pass it back and forth! So, we are keeping out distance, which sucks but it necessary. We are getting along better, maybe the distance helps, lol

Mom and dad or ok,  mom is getting over a bug, too.

Ok, I confess to falling prey to the evils of Girl Scout cookies! Last nite, right before I fell asleep, I simply HAD to have some! Or at least that is what I told myself. They were the shortbread kind, and I love them! It said on the box 5 for 150 cals. so I did at least stop at that! But that put me over! Arrggh!! I had to share that.

Well, I’m slowly getting better, coughing more now, but still on my antibiotic and taking Nyquil at nite. Anyone know the calories of Nyquil? Do I want to know?

Well, I’m gonna run and read some blogs. I love you all! Have a great day!

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.

Such a good quote I had to post it here, got it from work. Have to be quick this morning, real busy here, but my day goes better if I start it with you all. I slept from 7:30 last nite to 5:46 this morning! Hoping I’m getting better. Will try some light floor work tonite, and maybe Leslie Sansone in the morning. Still coughing.

Well hope you all have an awesome day, and I will be back at lunch! Hugs! Kama

I hate being sick!

 sick I’m sorry to be so MIA! I miss all of you so much! I was better yesterday afternoon, but not as of midnite last nite. I’m very fatigued, chest discomfort still, and feel woozy again. Still on the antibiotic, so hoping that will kick in soon, Yesterday was my first full day of it.

If I don’t get to all of your blogs, please know I love you all and am praying for you. Been hard to keep up with work and all while being so drained. Feels like I’m only at 35% of my normal energy. But I’m still here for ya, we will get thru this! Love you all, Kama

HI buddies

Trying to catch up on everything. Feels like I was out sick longer than a weekend! Trying to catch up on blogs and forums, etc.! So if I miss something, please forgive me, ok?

Feeling better, still some chest discomfort, so I’m not doing workouts until that is gone, my energy is low, too, still.

But I am slowly doing better. We did get another computer, but it has windows and not the program we are used to. So it is slow, still haven’t been able to get my IM going yet. I will let you know. Well, gonna run and read some blogs, love you!

It’s Monday morning!!!!!!!
