Remembering Duncan Macleod

Leave a comment

Bored out of my mind today as I stood in the front of the store, supposedly greeting customers and wishing them a farewell greeting as they leave the store.

A young man come in wearing a long grey and black sweater and all of the sudden I was thinking about “Duncan Macleod.”

Oh for anyone who hasn’t heard of Duncan Macleod from the TV show called, “The Highlander” that is where my thoughts sent me.

I had to blink again, because Adrian Paul Hewet had black hair and an English accent that would make you smile. Well, maybe just us (meaning me) females.

Oh well That was a Pleasant Smile….

Still Untangling…

2 Comments

Day four and I am still trying to untangle my yarn. I will never again start a new spool of yarn, without using all of the one I am working on, and NOT throwing it into a bag to be forgotten.

Yarn is for creating something new and Not for making a mess. It takes more time undoing what could have been prevented in the first place.

(taking a deep breath) Time to get back to my mess, because it will not get untangled by itself. I would really like to start on the new project I came up with, but that will have to wait until another time….

A Nice Walk….

I surprised myself by walking 30 mintues today. I was singing and dancing as I listened to gospel in my headphones.

I believe once my tummy started yelling at me “feed me” and making a list what I could make?

The idea of cooking made me close my eyes. Breakfast doesn’t have to be eggs,  because food is food. So, as I started preparing a salad, and I couldn’t stop thinking how I will see a better me one day.

Walking and eating right as I start my day😊

Heart Rate is a little fast as I slowly control my breathing. I admit I sometimes overlook the obvious. Then once I have time to actually think about what I said as well as what was said, I am smiling at my foolishness.

I read (NIV) 1st Samuel Ch 15:1-34 and I couldn’t understand why Saul didn’t do as God had told him to do?  Why did he only do half of what was told and believe that was okay?

I am no saint, but I do follow man made laws as well as the Good book (The Bible). I am honest and sometimes I have to hold my words back to not hurt someone’s feeling. I will say what I have to and stop pushing my point. I only wish others would feel the same.

I allowed self-doubt to enter my mind and my spirit and had me thinking about not moving forward. I am now YELLING satan GET UNDER MY FEET, BECAUSE JESUS IS GUIDING MY FEET. Fear was trying to get a hold of my spirit. So grateful for the Word. True I may have read 1st Sam last night and I just got a hold of what I read. I did say I was a little slow sometimes.

It is a little scary stepping out on a different plan, but if you don’t how can you improve your life. I also know this isn’t my true job, but it will get me closer to it. 

Why do people want to hold you down? They know you are strangling and keep wishing you well. Then once you get closer to opening that door, they are pulling you back? More questions without answers. Then again I might not like the answer if I look a little closer.

(Laughing) I am not going to worry about anyone or anything that tries to hold me down. I am about to get me a cup or two of coffee and then start working on my book. Yes, I am writing another series of books and can’t wait to get into my world. Never let anyone take your joy….

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 😃
