Now Lets Get on the Healthwagon!

Ok, Folks, I'm not gettin any comments! I know I stopped blogging for a long time, though, so I guess it is my fault. ANYWAY, here I go on the blogwagon again. This is my SECOND post in one day!

I just realized that I haven't told you about our new push for exercise. It feels so good! This is the second day that we worked out, cause we joined the community center. I also ordered one of those Core Exercise programs, which includes the ball. I worked out on a Core ball today and it really DOES work you out! I'm gonna get slim and trim, so LOOK OUT! I'm gonna be a healthy ol' mama. Actually, for those who don't know yet, I am actually somewhat of a health fanatic and I LOVE IT!!!

I feel so bad for people. Most people are oblivious as to what is really happening with them. If they really KNEW what is in their food, they would get sick just thinking about it. I have done lots of intense research and I can no longer in good concious eat the garbage. If you ever do research on some of the chemicals in that food, you wouldn't eat it either. It's know wonder Americans have the worst health of any nation.

It costs more to eat organic, but in the long run it really doesn't. You get a lot more flavor and 10 times the nutrition. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying the hospital bill later. I think the worst is the situation with the meat, though.

Boy Am I Blessed!

I don't know how I managed this, 'cause I can tell you I'm a comedy of errors. I'm just continually amazed at how I truely am blessed. I'm blessed in the best possible way, too. I have the most wonderful family - my wonderful kids, my sweet husband, and even my terrific friends. I want you all to know that you don't have to be some really smart person, or to be super witty, or wealthy or any of that. You don't have to be beautiful, or popular, or powerful either. If you are blessed, you've got the best of the best. Sure, I have frustrations like anyone else. I have difficult times, I get angry, I get out of it, too. Yet there is one thing that separates me and sets me up above my troubles - I can't deny, I'm so amazed at these Blessings God has given me

Take Heart Mommies Everywhere! Here is the Joy of Motherhood Returned.

My sweet daughter wrote this.

So, I write this post for all you mommies everywhere.

Don't fret for the small stuff, mommies, everywhere. In due time, you WILL see. Don't fret for the big things either, when the way seems hard to find. Your day glorious, on the horizon will fly. How does it somehow come to be? Though you may not see it now, be sure. Everything always turns out way better than you could believe.

Just look at those amazing ones that came from your own womb. Nurture them with your gift of love, then more sure than any guarantee, you will see that love come back someday when you may least expect, or maybe later, every day, in some very special little way.

Your little ones will grow, go off and on their own, but surely as the sun does shine, that day will one day come, when in the distant sunset glow you see your bird come gliding back with gifts of love and life for you. And then the Joy within your heart will overflow its borders. Oh, how wonderous, how glorious this life of love we have!

So, paint you picture, mommies, everywhere, with love. Paint it, too, with hope, though hope is really small, for surely as the sun does rise, will come clear victory. And even greater and more true and sure as sure can be, the Joy of Life will come to you and be your masterpiece.

"My Poor Blogspot" or "Have Shell Will Travel"

Well, for all you who have given up on any news from my blogspot. I guess you are in for a surprize, because I'm really, back this time. No kidding! I have been on a long journey away from blogging. AND, I really WAS on a long journey! Infact, since my last blog, I went down to Florida to visit my sweet daughter, Loxy, then up to see my sister in St. Louis, Mo. After that I went back to Tennessee, moved out of my house and all the way over to "deep in the heart of Texas". So, that really HAS been a journey.

I am presently living in a 5th wheel RV in a camping resort and I have to say..."I'm lovin it!" I really don't think I will miss living in a house. I like the simplicity and living close to nature. I'm liking learning to pull my house, too. A bit scarey, though. I feel like a hermit crab.

My other daughter showed me her pet hermit crabs the other day. She had their cage all set up with 3or 4 empty shells, each painted a different color and design. Beside them stood a little sign with the words "For Rent". She told me that they like to change their little mobile homes every so often. They are quite cute, I thought, but then, when I saw those little eyes peeking out of that cute little mobile shell house and peering into my own eyes, I was reminded of myself, ha! I could relate to my own new little mobile house. I'm lovin' the little hermit crab life! "Have shell will travel!"
