Once again I find myself laughing at what people are saying to me and I am amazed. I was told the water you drink today, will not be released until tomorrow, and you should keep drinking half your body weight each day.

I agree water is good for everyone to drink every day. When I am at home. I will drink more water, and it’s strange, because an hour or so I am closing the bathroom door. I don’t know of any place one can work and stay in the bathroom more than they  are working without a medical note.

So, that theory of what you drink today comes out tomorrow, I don’t buy it, nor does drinking a lot while I am working, but I am drinking more water then I use to. All in all I am good.

One can laugh as you listen to the foolishness. In order for you to walk off your extra pounds, you have to be outside, or in a gym. There was a time when I would go to the mall an hour before it opened, and enjoyed comfortable walking inside cool air. Today I walk around my apartment and do a low impact workout. 

I must be doing something right, because I am a better me. I may not have reached my goal yet and I know that’s a good thing. The faster you lose it, the faster those pounds return, and I’m not going for that. I pound or two works great for me.                           

Today I added an upper body workout and my arms are yelling at me. The phrase “no pain, no gain” comes to mind and I must have done it right.

Walking also helps clear your mind. I am working, but working 13 hours doesn’t feel like work at the end of the week. Looking for a better job is longer and without pay. You get a few hopeful leads, but have to turn them down. Then when you finally get something you believe you could do and you share that joy, only to be shot down.

Yes, your so called friends know you are struggling to keep a roof over your families head, food in their rummies, and everyday needs. They never offered a helping hand and you never asked. I made it through, but sometimes a person get tired of barley making it through.

I can laugh through their careless words, because I put my faith in God’s Words and not the everyday men and women. One can listen to another person’s point of view, but in the end obe has to do what’s best for them.

I still say people are funny and who knows they may be feeling the same way about me. It’s time to take a step out into the unknown and be free to be me:  The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?Psalms 27:1 NLT

See I am still Smiling 😃

 

THE END!!!

Still keeping my words and feeling good by it. I’ve been working on my book, only stopped, because the computer isn’t agreeing with me. I know I just need to type a little slow, but I still say its the computers fault haha.

I”ve been reading about forgiveness.

Mark 11:25‭-‬26 KJV And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

So , with these words I followed through and forgave tbe person (a co-worker) who for some strange reason wasn’t talking to me. I also apologize and send these words to her. I am not looking for a respond. Good or bad I forgave and let go.

Time to get back to working on my panthers blanket. I can also cross personal writing off of my list with this blog. I just finish reading a book, so I’ll get a book review soon.

Its now time to End!

 

Another day of walking in the sun…

Another day of walking in the rain….

Another day of walking in the cold……

Another day of walking against 4,021 lbs

moving death machines  called cars…

It seems once people get their driving license

they totally forget the rules…………….

                                               People are putting on makeup….

People are on the phone……

People are making up

their own rules….

A driver & A  pedestrian can both be hurt.

A pedestrian following the rules

should be safe to walk, but

if that driver thinks they

are above the rules..

Just, because you can turn at the light ——–

don’t mean you can run over a pedestrian

as   the  theylk across the walkway…….

Just , because the turning signals you can turn –

doesn’t mean drive faster to get in front of

a pedestrian who you know

has the right of way.

Pedestrian and driver’s

have to share the

Road…

Although a person is driving a car

that person driving sometimes  forgets

Tthat a  pedestrian is a person too…

And…..

In the hurry to get to their designation

they put aside safety & rules…..

The problem with that

a car can be fix

a pedestrian can Die..

Then again another driver

could hit that same car

And…..

The person in that car

can Die too..  

 

The     End!!

 

 

 

Wasn’t feeling sad

                          Nor was I feeling happy

Wasn’t feeling great

                          Nor was I feeling bad

Wasn’t feeling my best

                          Nor was I upset

Wasn’t showing any emotions as I went about my day

I admit my thoughts sometimes take me away from reality if only for a second or two.

 

“Hey.” Was said as I passed by and gave a “Hey in return, oh it’s you” I replied not knowing it was a co-worker with a new hairdo. She was surprised I wasn’t the only one who didn’t recognize her. I started to reply a good thought on her new look, but then she says, “Have a good day grey hair lady,” and she turned back to her work.

 

I said out loud as I was walked away, “I like my grey,” but in my mind I said “at least I’m real.”  I am not putting anyone down for wearing a hairpiece, because I have worn them too. I just don’t understand why I cannot like my grey, because others don’t like theirs? I think grey hair is beautiful and I AM BEAUTIFUL.

 

Was feeling Happy

                     Because I Love me

Was feeling Great

                      Because I can Smile with true Joy (mind – body – and soul)

Was at my Best

                       Because I know who I am – where I stand – and I No One can say or do anything that can stop me..

 

                                 The

                                       End!!!

 

 

 

 

Once again I am wondering about people and why they are curious about my stuff? First, it was my umbrella, and now it’s my bags. I’ve been called the bag lady. I know they are  not meaning it to be cruel, but as a joke. It comes out hurtful to me.

When ones thinks of a bag lady, one thinks of a person who carries everything she owns in bags, and bags everywhere she goes. True, I lost my apartment, and had to move in with family. So I have a place to stay and I am Not carrying everything I own around. Yes it’s true I do like bags and have a few. I carry a bag for different reasons rather going to the store, because I like to eat or going to the laundromat, because I also like clean cothes. I also have lunchbox or two, because I like it to match my outfit.  In the end, “I am not a bag lady,” because I carry a bag or two.

I smile and calmly say, “Since I don’t have a car I need a bag to carry my personal items. I crochet as much as I can (it’s my side money and it’s what I do) and one can’t crochet all the time, so it’s good to have a book on hand. If anyone has ever been on public transportation, one needs something to do or some fool will try and talk to you.

Then if I’m going to service after work, yes I will have a change of clothes, and yes they will be in a bag. Not everyone has the options to be picked up from their home and wear real clothes to church. I’m like I want to be cute too and I will be rather they like it or not.

Then I realized I’m repeating myself and I stop talking. I will have to let the “New Yorker” out just a little and ignore people who only see what they want to see, because you don’t know me. I am laughing, because a surprise shopping trip I already have a bag. While I can put everything in one bag, you have to carry more, so who’s the smart one?

 

                                   The

                                          End!!!!
