Happy Saturday!

Ok here are my flowers! Aren’t they gorgeous!! I had to wait till Ted downloaded them!

Any hoo, I just read Joyce’s daily reading for the day, and wanted to share it! I kinda thought it goes with the train of thought to keep pressing on and not get lazy and complacent, which is where I never want to be!

Balance Life

July 26
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law, that You may give him power to keep himself calm in the days of adversity.
Psalm 12:13

A person who is lazy and passive is not happy. A passive person is someone who wants something good to happen, but who just sits still and waits to see if it does. Successful people live disciplined lives.

First Peter 5:8 says, “Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times.” The devil would like you to go overboard in some area, but stay steady and God “will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you” (v. 9).

I love how it is titled “Balance life”

I also love what Shan wrote yesterday, too. Been thinking alot about balance. I do want to get to goal, but for some reason, my body is not going under 137 no matter what I do. So I am just pressing on and trying to remember to focus more on my health (which is so greatly improved) and how much better I look, and how grateful I am for all my buddies and my new lifestyle.

I love how she said she loves certain foods. I for one LOVE bananas! I have been on South beach Phase 2 for awhile, but I can’t resist having a banana once in awhile. I just love them and they do have their benefits, too.

Ok I have to stop and give a shout out to my buddy, Linda(Poet), this lady amazes me with her wisdom, wit, and compassion. I learn so much from her!

Well, today will be busier, did NOT clean last nite, was kinda sore after my workout, so I just showered and made a nice dinner and relaxed. Still need to do my nails, lol.

Today will do some on the house, then go to the grocery store, and maybe to a meeting.

Tomorrow will do paperwork with mom, she didn’t want to do it today, just need to have it done by Monday, so I can fax it in. Plus I have to have her syringes filled for the week.

Doing good with my eating, having salmon for dinner tonite, yum.

Ok time to go post and read blogs, love you all!

    I loved that! Very motivating. I was thinking, about you not being able to get below 137, maybe that’s just where you’re meant to be? I am so glad to hear that you aren’t getting upset that it isn’t dropping and that you are focused on your health. 137 is a pretty darn good weight to be at; you’ve come so far and I’m so proud of you! :o)

    Balance in life is a great idea! People who do nothing tend to never succeed…they just dream about it.
    So planning and action are the formula for success I think…

    Kama your flowers are so pretty. I am happy Ted gave them to you, you deserve them sista! Isn’t Joyce just wonderful? I was shopping today for books and hers kept staring me in the face. I guess He wants me to buy one. I will after the 1st. of the month payday for us retirees, lol! I cannot thank you enough also for the “shout out”. Several hours ago a family member (not immediate), called my husband on the phone (out of town call) and told him to keep me away from her. I had emailed her to see if she would consider making up, she lost her husband and now she does not like me after 30+ years of family gatherings etc. with no incidents, no discord. She says that I am heartless and I do not understand her pain. She is grieving badly still after almost 2 years. I have been crying since that call because I know if there is anything I do have, it is a heart and I bent over backwards to prove that to her when her husband (my borther in law was dying) was so ill and since then. OMG! I am so sorry! this is your blog. Love You Kama!
