building faith

Totally off the the weight loss subject. This morning I woke up to find that my cable and internet was out. I was certain it was over some box they say I have. Which I probably do, I just have to find it. Anyway, in my head I am thinking this is going to be a crap day. I am going to have to call and fight with Mr. Cable and I just was letting it get me down. Making me into a Negative Nellie. This was at around 4:30 am. I decide that I am going to get on my knees and ask for help. Not turn back on my cable, but basically don't let this ruin my day, please. I head out the door to walk. I have another walking buddy this morning so I have to cross a kind of busy street. As I cross the street I notice a guy getting back in a truck. He turns to me and I ask jokingly if he's the cable guy. He says yep, I just turned your cable back on. I love it when my prayers are answered like that. He knows me and He loves me. What is important to me is important to Him. Something as trite as cable TV. What a great faith building experience.

Anyway, I walked 3.5 miles this morning. I walked over to a coworker's house and got my bike back. I forgot I even had a bike. She it took away from me because I never used it. Which was totally ok with me, then I just forgot. She got a new bike and so I asked for mine back. I am anxious to start riding to work! I was just thinking how I wanted a bike too.

I am going to ride this good feeling for all it's worth! Feeling positive and confident. It feels so good! Keep the mood and the food real!

    Wow - I wish mine were answered that quickly!

    And the bike - that surely is another sign - of course you have to post the obligatory "me with bike" shot on your blog now!

    Prayer isn't supposed to work like that. You're supposed to steal cable, then ask forgiveness.

    Glad I could serve as your spiritual advisor.

    I love it and hate it. My thoughts on God and the Universe are changing. Along with my thoughts on me, myself, they are evolving!

    Still, cool!

    I love it when prayers are answered! The Lord always answers our prayers even though it sometimes at his own time for our own good, but I'm glad that your prayers were answered quickly!

    Sorry I'm so behind with reading your blog. Glad everything turned out ok. I really do think prayer does wonders. I prayed the whole way to walmart the other night and there was a new shower tent for me lol. Glad your cable is back on and you have a bike to ride now. Ok moving on to the next post *smile*.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
