Have a positive day

We should all have a good day everyday.
Embrace life as God has given us.

Tips:

Thank God when you wake up in the
morning you have another day.

Think positive after thanking God

Be around people that live a positive

life

Those who will encourage and love

you for who you are.

Want circumstances to change go 

ahead and change yourself.

At the end of the day thank God

for the day even if it is far from

being perfect.

Amen!

What are you doing for a Friday

Here in the Pacific Northwest especially
in in Western Washington we are have
a lot of rain. Also, the rivers are flooding
as well.

The weekend looks to be more rain as

well so a lot of indoor activities are a

good idea for everyone around here for

sure.

So what are your plans for Friday and

the weekend? I hope things are a bit

drier in your area. 

I don't mind walking in the rain if it

is not raining to hard. The trouble is

wind and cold. I don't like either.

Whatever  you are up to enjoy those

around you. Many blessings and I

will be thinking of you. Amen!  

Living Our Bucket List

Most people have places they want to
go when taking something off their
bucket list. Something can be part of
our life purpose. Just think of those
things you have wanted to do.

Someone I went to high school with

said on social media on Wednesday

she was ending a job she had for six 

years she considered a great job 

working at an airport.

In a move she decided which I 

figure will be her last job but

you never know she decided to

be a flight attendant. A classmate

commented she would love to

fly with her. I said I would like

to join in. The one who wanted

to join in said it is a date. 

So on our bucket list can be

work as well. Maybe for years

you have wanted to do something

you haven't done year. Your 

current job you can retire from

so why not try something new

and on your work bucket list.

Certainly something to think

about right?  Amen !

Faithful and Consistent

When it comes to our life purpose
the two most important aspects is
to be faithful and consistent.

Those who are in our lives we

spend time with in our purpose

important to  be in contact as

much as possible.

We can only be faithful and 

consistent to what we know

about our life purpose. More

of our life purpose should 

come to our knowledge along

the way.

I hope this helps you and always

blessings.

Always Interesting See Happens

On Monday we had a sunny day here
in Western Washington after having a
lot of rain over the weekend. This time
of the year always thankful when sun
comes out.

It is so weird or creepy with darkness

at 5 pm. I am not sure why they call

it daylight savings time. I now want

to go out for a walk in the afternoon

I will have to around 3 pm.

Monday morning at the coffee shop

a little girl 2 and 1/2 I said hello too.

She hid behind her mother. I said you

don't have to be shy around me. Her

mother said "I think she thinks you

will take her banana bread". I 

responded "I am not going to take

your banana bread it is all yours."

She was so cute though.

Tuesday I will be back at cardiac

rehab feeling better. I appreciate

any prayers as I am sure you do

to. Many blessings throughout 

your day. Amen!

Excitement about others

 Sunday evening ministry at church
as a foursome we prayed for a man
none of us had ever met. He was
part of a ministry I had never heard
of before and don't recall the name
right now.

We gave words to him what we
each thought God's original purpose
for his life. He and us were surprised
what we wrote down each and then
told him is what he is doing with his
purpose. It is always good to be
confirmed what our purpose is whether
we are doing it all or not.

Without getting details we prayed next

for what we thought might be an area

of his life keeping him being totally

living his purpose. Often it can be a

relationship with a member of the 

family or someone considered a

close friend that turned out wrong

or an experience that went wrong.

We all went away with joy in our

hearts that this man will even do

greater things than he has done

before. Something else happened

which he took a picture of us

all together. First time for that.

Amen!

Doing Both

Last night the time changed back
with an extra hour of sleep or stay
up late.

I actually did both stay up an 

extra hour and sleep an extra

hour. I am sure I will feel better

for it.

Here in Washington state we 

voted for  the time not to change

and stay Pacific Standard time.

We are still waiting for the

federal government to allow

us to. At least our senators are

starting to put pressure on the

federal government to change.

It is sort of funny we are now on

Daylight Savings Time. It is dark

going to bed and dark when waking

up as well. Day light really isn't

saved until February or March 

when the light stays out longer.

About that time we change to

standard time so what is the point.

Right now this means the children

have to go to school in the dark.

Maybe another positive reason

to home school.  

In ten days going to a home group

where I haven't been before. So

this means I have to find the place

in the dark. Also, means have to

walk in the dark. At least staying

on standard time though it won't

be light it won't be dark and actually

find my way.

Anyway enjoy your day in whatever

fashion you took advantage of the

extra hour. Amen!

Life Changes

Life is interesting. Friday afternoon going out

for walk it was blue sky. Within 20 minutes 

it clouded over. When I got back to my car it 

was raining. Now the sun is out again.

Why I am saying this since going to cardiac 

rehab and going on the Mediterranean diet 

my body is doing the same thing. When I

began the diet last week my blood pressure

was normal Thursday it was quite low. I 

am eating foods with little or no sodium so

why my body is reacting in the way it is.

At cardiac rehab I only was able to do one 

exercise. I told them I am not feeling well. 

Took my blood pressure and it dropped a 

lot so I had to rest for a while at the same 

time. Also contacted my cardiologist where

a few hours later reduced my medication.

When I went in Friday I was able to do my 

regular exercise at a slower pace. I drank 

more water than I used to before going and 

I had more while being there.

Today like the weather I feel different 

depending the time. Blood pressure still 

low however drink water more often and

when not feeling myself. I know things 

will be closer to normal when my body is 

adjusted to the diet.

The woman taking my blood pressure

said it is hard to hear you. I said no one

 said that before to me. Lol. She replied 

"I mean hearing your blood pressure".

I told her I know I just couldn't resist.

Holiday Season

It seems the holiday season starts
earlier each year. At least when it
comes to shopping. Someone told
me they were putting up decorations
already. I don't think of the holiday
season until late November. Oh well!

The holiday season though to me 

means we have more opportunity

to share our purpose whether it

is our faith or hope.

With the pandemic and may shopping

on line like some have done for a

while the opportunities are not there

as much but we should take the

opportunity when we can.

I find it interesting, at least where I

am compared to a year ago.  Last

year social distancing was important.

Now as long as you wear your mask

indoors you can be close to others.

Of course you are required in most

places anyway.  

When I am in my cardiac rehab and

my mask is below my nose which

happens once in a while I am told

to move it up. This doesn't matter

whether you are close or social 

distancing. The rules certainly 

change. 

Whatever your plans are for the

holiday season be sure to talk

to others when you can and give

them hope with a smile. Amen!

One of these days

Most days I have something real to
say but this isn't one of the them. At
least not on my mind as of now.

All we can all do is the best we can

each and every day.

I am thinking now it is seems so

early to plan for the holidays but

stores certainly here to remind us

early.

Many blessings to you and have

a great day. Pass it on to all your

friends and those you meet along

the way. Amen!

A Change to diet

It is interesting this will be
my seventh day on a diet.
I am on the Mediterranean
diet.

I have lost about a pound

per day. Most of the loss

has to do with fluid at 

this point.

It is sort of strange because

I feel I am eating more food

though eating more often

with small portions.

I eat vegetables and fruit

along with fish and chicken

primarily. So far so good

I have to say.

It is sort of funny anyway

I feel I see more food 

commercials on television.

Probably the same amount

but aware of it.

Temptation is there to go

back but I am willing to

overcome. I guess that is

what goes on in life. Amen!

Learning from our mistakes

We know as human beings we
make mistakes. In fact, a lot of
them. Some mistakes we do
over and over again. We mean
to learn from them but often
doesn't happen.

What do we do about learning

from mistakes. Basically we

try to do our very best. Along

the way we ask God to forgive

us and help us to do better.

If we wrong someone it is

good to ask them forgiveness.

It isn't always necessary. For

if they don't realize we have

wronged them we don't have

to ask forgiveness unless we

feel the best thing to do.

So today we try our very best

to do things right though we

will make more mistakes, 

Amen!

November Here

We now have two months left in
the year of 2021 before the new
year happens.

We should think about what we

accomplished in our life purposes.

We should think to what life purpose

is not.

Life purpose is not put down 

others. We should not insult 

one another or think ill will.

Bullies should be told they

are in the wrong.

Early October Canada had 

their Thanksgiving and USA

will have it on the last Thursday

of November. We should be 

thankful for we have and make

wrongs what is going in the world.

Amen!
