Good
Morning! It is only 5am and I can't sleep. My brain got engaged, so
even though I did not get enough sleep I'm awake. My first thoughts
were about Ryan having gone to the ER yesterday due to waking up in
the morning and have a tightness on the left side of his chest going
through to his back. Don, Donna and I convinced him to go to see
doctor just to be on the safe side. We all prayed and I know the
LORD answered our prayers.
Yesterday
was a full day. I had a nice lunch with my friend Lois at Panera
Bread. Lois was the one that I have known for many, many years from
Christian Scribes writers group. Lois started the writers group
about 40 years ago, and just stepped down from it a couple years ago.
She has also been helping out or leading a bible study at the
nursing home Alva, my mother in law lived in up until she passed away
on February 2, 2019. Lois felt immediately after Alva passed on to
Heaven to give her a memorial service there at the Home for Alva's
staff and friends there. As it turned out, mostly family was able to
come. This was truly a blessing for the entire family, and some
friends that came. We all saw a few miracles the LORD worked out in
the family, so we could all be reconnected and joined as a family.
Alva's prayers were answered for her boys to be brought together
again in unity.
Lois
shared with me how she met her beloved husband. I enjoyed learning
how they met, and what a blessing their marriage has been to them
over these past almost 60 years! They met while catching a train in
Boston during her college years.

This
writing is not going as I hoped it would. It seems harder to journal
than I imagine in my mind. So I'm going to try a little harder.
I
finally got enough sleep in last night. My Cpap machine said it was
8.5 hours exactly! Way better than my 3 to 4 hours a night and then
having to at little naps here and there.
My
other main goals besides writing and blogging is to read my Bible
daily and start walking more. I can walk around my house, go outside
or go to a store or the Kettering Rec Center. Donna and her family
have started the Million Steps Challenge for the next 3 months. They
all got pedometer watches to keep track. She said Walmart sells them
for $30 so I might get one.
Memory:
I was reminded of a story I wrote and just loved when I was in about
7th
grade. It was called THE MOUSE IN THE COOKIE JAR. I
don't remember now exactly how the story went, but I do remember
being so proud of the story I had created. I can journal write, but
never been one for imaginary writing.
The
Inner Circle has been very active on Marco Polo this morning. It is
a fun way to start the day off connecting with everyone, and just
seeing what they have to share so early. Joan and Elizabeth haven't
been on yet though. Maybe later. I know Joan is still probably
getting all the kids ready and off to school.
Time
to do my Bible reading before that gets by me again!
