I looked up awareness on AI. It had some good things to say. I deleted a little bit on self awareness due to some differing ideologies, but it had some points that were right on….If you aren't aware of your sins, you won't repent and come to the Lord, and that's the only way to be saved. Christian perspectives on awareness…

Another beautiful day for a walk! 1.34 mile. Not a huge walk, but as long as I like to be away from Bill for a walk. Right now I am showing 61 calories over on my tracker, and I'm not sure if I will adjust or not. I was trying to find something that I thought Bill would eat and decided to try burgers, baked beans and…

This has been a weird week. How often do you get recall notices from Amazon? This week I have gotten 2! I almost didn't open the second one thinking it was just a second notice on the first one. The first was a wound cleaner that I had purchased and not yet used. I was almost out of a bottle (not recalled) and purchased…

I've read the first 2 in the Robin Patchen Wright Brothers series and they are very good. The rest are on my YouTube watch later list. I had the freebie and passed on the other one.

I am so blessed where we live. I have library cards for 5 libraries (and in 2 states) and if I wanted to take a drive for an in-person visit for the card, I know of 2 more neighboring counties that offer reciprocal agreements. Plus Bill has a card for our county's library. I have a total of 38 hoopla borrows. I usually use…

I have been working my way through some Love Inspired and Love Inspired Suspense through the library. When I get bogged down with heavy reading, books with inappropriate language, or life, these books always hit the right spots. Years ago I had a susbcription for them, now I enjoy through the library.

Short walk this morning, .93 mile. The bottom of my feet are still really tender and the trash trucks were getting in my way. My scales showed a 1.6# loss, but I didn't log it. That sounds like a lot for 2 days when I had been fighting for tenth of pounds in a week.

Today everytime I wanted to take a walk it was raining, close to Bill's meds, or I was detained by something. I finally went at 7pm. I wore the same shoes as yesterday, but by the time I got home it felt like someone sandpapered the bottoms of my feet. They are still tender 2 hours later. They are usually favorites for…

You were very pro-active! Great job, and that way you don't feel so cheated. I didn't make church this morning. Bill was really weak and wasn't behaving like usual, and was very restless through most of the night. I was exhausted from lack of sleep, and his behaviors were rather scary. Things improved through the day…

2 very good and one that would have been better, but some rare unappreciated language. THE CEO & THE CHRISTIAN GIRL by Nicole Lam - could have been good without the language THE SANDS OF SEA BLUE BEACH by Rachel Hauck - very good romance! GELATO AT THE VILLA by Robin Jones Gunn (wms fict) - I'm really enjoying this one.…

I thought I was staying in my calories tonight for dinner, but I went over by 211 calories. Oops. Usually if I go over my dinner calories, I can make them up in my evening snack, but I don't think I can make up that much. Oh well, it was good. When we were with sparkpeople, it had a range and this would have been within…

It is so good to see you Carole! Tomorrow is the shared birthday. Since I am on today, and who knows what tomorrow may bring….Have and amazing birthday!!

I didn't get a walk yesterday, and the weather was perfect. I had to be home for a prescription delivery and had no idea when it would come. By the time it came, it was time to cook dinner. I thought I could take my walk after dinner, but then just got involved and forgot. Oops. Hopefully today will be better. I have the…

Great thoughts!

I had a digital credit, so I got the Amish 50 cent book. I already had the other two. I really like Valerie Comer books, and I tend to save them for reading challenges….then binge read a whole bunch at once.

Well, I finished SONG FOR THE QUIET ONES by Carrie Chance. Please don't bother! It didn't hold my interest, and the couple moved in together out of wedlock. I would have DNF at that point, but I was almost done with the book. I am listening to another that isn't fast moving, but I am seeing the Christian influence. I also…

Sorry for the pain, Kim. Keeping you in prayer. We still have amazing weather, so was perfect for a 1.33 mile walk. It could just stay like this year around!

I put down A SONG FOR THE QUIET ONES for a while. I don't know if it was me or if it's boring. I starting reading Misty Beller's Sapphire Ranch series. I am currently on book #7. I'm really enjoying them. This is the best series of hers that I have read.

I had the Deborah Raney book, but got the other two! Thanks!

The weather here was glorious today! I took my longest walk and then tried to get Bill to sit outside where he could enjoy the weather, but he wouldn't budge, so I let him sleep. Right now I am showing a few calories over my normal goal (that leftover cupcake!). I think I will be okay by the end if day, because I can…

I enjoyed CAPTURED SECRETS by Carmen Peone. It takes place on a reservation in Washington. It is definitely Christian fiction, but often the main character calls God "Creator". It is about a lady that looses her parents in a car wreck and she is trying to save their guest ranch. She finds a LOT of problems the further she…

I have grazed all day long, and no walk. I don't do it often, so I am just enjoying eating whatever I want and how much I want…..

I finished a couple Love Inspired Suspense and the Tess Thompson book. I enjoyed her book, but it had no Christian content and a slight bit of language. My current read is CAPTURED SECRETS by Carmen Peone. I'm not far into it, so we will see.

Great job with the loss! Praying the Sugar counts go into the optimal range! Kim, praying that your pain can at least be managed. We had another day of incredible weather, today! I got 1.25 miles in my walk, plus grocery store and Dollar General, so pretty close to 1.5 miles. Today's calories are running pretty low, but…

I have been looking at excercises to do indoors. Has anyone heard of or tried the Arm Swing exercises. I think I may try them. My middle back gets stiff and part of the PT I was given was a type of arm swing. Hmmm. May be a good hot or cold weather alternative to walking.

My BP was always low, as well. Now it usually runs in the teens or low twenties. The professionals can't believe that I am able to keep it that low without meds….just good genes, I guess. I got my walk in today. It was a little later than normal, but in the temperature was in the low 80s so it was great. It was warm, but…

I picked up GUARDING THE HEART, thanks! Already had the western. It looks like something Bill would have enjoyed.

I'm on the last book in the Redemption Ridge series, FINAL SINS by Edie James. I am also reading THE SPINSTER by Tess Thompson. A new challenge came up on Kindle insights and I looked to see if anything Christian was on it..hoping to find through Libby. Instead, I found one I already had...even better. It takes place soon…

All is pretty calm in the Randel household. Hospice seems to be working out well, and we are getting used to people here all the time. One thing that is a blessing is that they have taken over his OTC meds and his underwear. That comes to about $110-$115 a month. I decided to have a cleaning company come once a month to do…
