Hello March......2014

Hi there friend(s) it's been a month since my last post.  All is good here, besides the crazy snowy weather, that won't go away!!  We do know March can "come in like a lion out like a lamb". With all the snow that came the first week of March....it's gone...except the piles of snow in shopping parking lots, but even those will be gone very soon.  That is good news....we are ready to get out of our houses....smell the dirt once again....feel the warm sun, and look for the Spring flowers peering up thru the ground.  Very happy for daylight savings....it's light out at 6pm.  Whoot-whoot. 

Another thing about March, I turn a year older.  Just had a birthday.  Yup....I tend to feel this one.  Early 50's.....wow, when you really think about it {which I really shouldn't} it's like "where did the years go"?  In a split second I can recall all down memory lane and say oh that's where it went.  It's 31 years of marriage.....three awesome kids..... all kinds of homes along the way.....dogs....hamsters.....ups and downs. school projects..school lunches  brushing the girls hair  braiding their hair....and wonderful times.  Gains....and losses....LIFE happened in those years......I am grateful....I am blessed.......yes I am "wicked bummbed" about ....the grey hairs (which are multiplying by the hour"....the weight.....just look at food and gain......the change in my face...my hands....  I'm being honest here dear friends.....I know...I know....it's vain......but let's face it.....these changes are real.....they are happening, either way they are happening.....I am a year older.

What I have decided to do....and need His help to keep doing this....is thank Him for giving me another year (which I do ..do),  recognize it's a blessing to be here with my family.....friends.....to enjoy what the Lord has given me thru the years.....a wonderful family.....great friends......a home....health...inner healing....wonderful church family....so...so ....so many blessings.!!!!!

It's ok to take a minute...access where you are.....don't take longer....LOL, deal with... ok this is happening...age(ing)... but don't dwell on it.  It's how it's suppose to be...yes I will dig deeper in how to take care of this 50 something body....get in better shape....treat this body this vessel the best way I can.  I need to get the "best mileage" I can out of this "ol girl"..LOL    Then keep running the good race....go forward....do His will.  Know His will.  Keep going.......forward, thanking the Lord always for His grace and mercy for "this day".  Thank you Lord for another year.

I am grateful.....I am blessed....and I choose to accept this 50something, :) and move on...I had my moment....now I look forward to this year and I won't let my mind rob me of dwelling about my youth, I choose to embrace my 50's they won't come again...so I better.
