It's been a little minute ... I bought a new computer a while back and changed my search engine choice. That resulted in not being able to find this place for a variety of reasons.
At first it was frustrating, but the good thing that's come out of it is I've cut down on my screen time and pushed a little harder on my real life time which has beneficial for me.
Not a lot has changed in my life on the surface, but some things have been going on that I'm grateful for.
I've made some new girlfriends, which is always a good thing. It's my habit to get out of house to socialize a time or two a week, which is good for my soul. Coffee, a meal out, a walk.
I think this one is new ... I switched gyms from the 'starter' senior gym, and am working with a trainer once a week. I'm building muscle and feel comfortable walking into the gym. My functional fitness is the main goal, but there have been other benefits as well. More about this another time.
I continue to be active at church, and have stepped up a little. As needed, I cover for my Bible study teacher when she has to be gone. It's been a little minute since I've taught an adult Bible study, but it's gone well and is good for me to stretch some muscles I've not used for a bit. Most Sundays I take care of the first time visitors, and that's generally pretty fun; people can always use welcoming smiles and encouragement. And, praise God my daughter, who was badly hurt by a church she loved a few years ago is attending and active with me at church these past couple of months. (I did NOT nag her; that never ends well. I just prayed and waited.) So grateful.
I went on my annual October road trip, with a bit of a difference this year. I hit New Mexico for a week, came home and went to Utah for a shorter stay. I didn't go to Tulsa, OK or Colorado this year ... my budget and the health issues of my friends living in those places helped me make the decision. Hopefully when the crazy flying stuff calms down and my bank account is ready I'll see them in person.
Weather here in my high desert mountain valley ... rain, rain, and more rain. Lows in the 40's, highs in the 50's today.
Happy Saturday!💋
Good to see a post from you! I just smiled and nodded at the praying and waiting for your daughter's faith journey to unfold in its own way. Been there done that with son and some of his decisions.
ReplyDeleteHope your life continues to be full and rewarding. Functional fitness is my own goal these days too.
