Well, happy Friday !! It is good to have an end to this work week.
I was not able to mow this morning. Yesterday morning I got out and watered everything well and for some reason got very ill after. So, I think it best to save that kind of work for Saturday. Having to go in to work feeling ill is not pleasant and is dangerous considering I was feeling to light-headed and faint.

Feeling better this morning, thank the Lord. I know one thing - I played a very small part in getting to the job. The work I did was to get dressed and pray for help getting there.

I am having to access my eating pattern also. That had everything to do with the problem. I usually do not eat until I fininsh my coffee in the mornings. Working in the heat on an empty stomach could be a major part of the problem. It has been fine for a long time but, time is marching on and I am not as young as I think of myself as being. It is a good case of still thinking my body is as young as my mind wants to think it is. Being over-weight is added into the mix and - OH BABY !!

Well, I guess I have had my pitty-party long enough. Now for what I am Grateful for:

to be alive
to have fairly good health considering how I treat my body
to have rain lately
for the prospect of more in the coming days
that I have a sense of peace and tranquility like I've never known prior
for my Faith today
Precious-what a Gift from God
to be changing into a more Faith-based person
Thank YOU

we have a nice breeze this morning-hot but I always welcome a breeze.
tomorrow is Friday, yeah !!!!!
some weeks seem much longer than others, this has been one of those long ones.
I spent much of this morning watering all the plants well. I still have the sprinkler on the front and side beds. Hopefully, I will feel up to getting the yard mowed at 8:00 am tomorrow morning and then can do the finishing - up trimming on Saturday.

this is the first year that I really have been enjoying the yard work - all of it, every time. That is a new feeling for me, just as some of the other enjoyments I have acquired the past year.

I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...

there is a larger group of birds feeding on the bird seed put out this year. I have several Cardinals, Mourning Dove, Blue Jays, Mocking Birds, a Tri Colored (wing) Black Bird (have not been Blessed with one of these for some years), Sparrows and Inca Dove
for the Faith I have today
Precious and her sweet and loving manner
that I am still employed and I am enjoying it more. Even though I must work late more and more
that I use my down time more efficiently and my working time more systematically so I create more down time there too
for life itself ! I have a friend who has cancer in the terminal stages. He was in Catechism class with me-Jack, I'm happy that you achieved what you truly wanted the past year
for new ways of seeing life, death and relationships
God's Grace
thank YOU
