MORNING CAME ALONG SO EARLY that I opened the French doors allowing fresh, cool air to float indoors. Had to shut the doors around 1 in the afternoon as it was too cool inside and the chill not welcomed. As the winds were blowing, it reminded me of days gone by when I was a child delighting in twirling about in the piles of fallen leaves and allowing the Kansas wind to blow madly onto my face. A sweet memory for an old woman who has to sit more often than twirling these days.
Thinking about when the Irises first bloomed in the Spring being 7 months ago which means we are about 5 months from when the Irises will bloom in April. That makes me smile. Looking forward to looking at them and taking some clippings to display in the Cottage. Perhaps we will be living in the Cottage come Spring. We are so hoping to be.
I can walk today with a little bit of pain in the back of my right foot. I am waddling some, but it's considered walking. Off to the COTTAGE I will go this afternoon taking my potted geraniums to Winter inside in a sunny room. Taking the ladder with me, so I can climb up to reach the wood fan blades to clean and polish. I hope to vacuum the Dining room and shuffle the exercise equipment in there. That'll be my afternoon so I can return HOME to rest, work on paperwork and launder two more loads of vintage tablecloths. Pleased that I am just about finished washing all the vintage tablecloths. Tonight will be TV night munching on popcorn. A very pleasant day. Reading Psalms 24 today.
24 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Aiming to lower calorie count today as I went over my limit yesterday. Today I have had an apple for breakfast and a warm meal for lunch. A small combination salad with dressing, small baked potato with a pat of butter, 3oz. of grilled steak and water to sip on. This evening, supper will be skipped and will eat popcorn with seasonings. This is a low cal day for me and I'm willing to eat this way for the week.
My weight has plateaued which means I need to have a break through to continue dropping weight. Hoping to drop another 10 pounds by December.
TODAY, is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Amen. I choose to rejoice and be happy. A decision to be happy. We can become addicted to being unhappy and not allow happiness to come forth. Choosing or by making up one's mind to be happy is possible. BE POSSIBLE.
LOVE,
~d👵
