The Note

I remember a particular time when I was a teenager. There was a ballgame at school, and I wanted to go so bad. One problem I faced was my dad. I was scared to ask him anything. Then I had an idea I would write him a note.

 My dad always got up early to go to work and so, the stove was the first place I knew he would come to. My fingers trembled as I wrote the note and laid it on the stove top. I could hardly sleep I just knew he would say yes and could hardly wait to get up in the morning.

I woke up bright and early and headed for the kitchen and picked the note up. To my surprise, the note was lying there just as I had left it. I quickly opened it anticipating the answer.  No answer. I was heartbroken.  How could he just not answer me?

My mom walked in the kitchen, and I said to her, “Did daddy not read the note?”

She said, “He did read it, but Daddy said that if you could not ask, it was not worth going to.”  I was stunned and mad for not asking him.

 Why had I been so scared to ask him? All he could have done was say yes or no. In my little mind I thought of him as a big bear and was scared he would bite me. In reality he was not, this was just the image I had. Rest assured I was never afraid to ask my daddy again.  I found out all he wanted was for me to ask. To take this a step further that’s all God wants us to do is ask.

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you. What we ask must be in line with God's word. God wants us blessed spiritually, physically, and materially. Don't let the fear of asking keep you from attaining God's best for your life.

Little Conductor

This is my little man. How handsome he is to me. He dressed up to go trick or treat. Oh how I love him. He hasn't quite got my name yet. Gram is what I want it to be. My little conductor has just learned to walk and oh what a treat when he learns how to talk. You have to be fast when taking his pic cause he doesn't like a hat on his head. So this is what I got instead.

Eharmony Awareness

I got a call this morning concerning my bank account. I found out someone had a spending spree with my money. Come to find out they three transactions to FTD Florist, one transaction to Eharmony, and one more to a dating site.  When using a debit card online use it as a credit. It's the same thing just a little different process and a lot safer.
Be aware what you see is not always what you get. Whoever the flowers were sent to probably thinks they just met prince charming and instead they have a thief. Beware of hookups on any dating site. You have no clue what's on the other end. Anyone can charm you with their words, flowers, jewelry, etc... A real woman or man does not need to take from someone else which is not his or hers. Just imagine what they may take from you if they are doing this three or four different people at a time.

Celebrate Your Birthday

I just celebrated another year of life. I've had so many people say sarcastic remarks about getting older. I would just laugh and say yes I am. You are either getting older or you die young. I think I would rather get older and enjoy life instead of worrying about a number. What I know is that this life is not all that there is. I thank God everyday for saving me and letting me learn about who He is and His ways. He is good and He is love. He loves me unconditionally. So if it's your birthday celebrate life and get out and enjoy things like you did when you were a kid. You may not be able to do some things, but I'm sure you will find something you really like to do. Listening to the birds or just riding by a freshly plowed field. I love to be around small children and watch all the new things they discover. I often think about how I felt as a kid and would sit for hours playing with the four leaf clovers and making necklaces. Those were some good times. I hope anyone who reads this has a blessed day.

Encourage Yourself

I have been making little changes here and there about my eating habits. I use to love sweets and still do, I just make sure I eat them in moderation. I've started eating more salads and vegetables. Which I knew I should have been doing all along. One thing I had let slip was my walking and a few stomach exercises. A couple of weeks ago I started a whole new routine. I get up in the mornings and walk 2 1/2 miles, three to four times a week. I feel better just knowing I'm doing something to better my life. If you can't do that much just do what you can. Start somewhere otherwise a month from now you'll still be trying to decide what you're going to do. I had lost my motivation to even try and funny thing is I don't even know why. This is to motivate you and say you can do it. Come on my blog and give me your progress, sometimes that helps or even just blog about it to yourself. Whatever helps you to keep track of what you're doing. Here's to a new day for me and for you. Have a great week.

HCG Drops

I have tried the HCG drops for one month and I for one was not impressed at all. Matter of fact I got to feeling very bad after taking the drops. Instead of losing I even gained a few pounds back. If you like it that's fine. I walk three to four times a week and thought this would help to get these few extra pounds off, but it just did not. I always like to try something before I give my opinion on it. My opinion is that it's not for me. If you do try it please be careful with it. Be mindful of how your body is feeling.
