MOTHER's DAY and the week is off to a great start. Telephoned my MOM to wish her a wonderful Mother's Day so far away. She received her card and gift I mailed her a few days ago before SUNDAY got here. Glad she got them. With the mail, I never know.
While we were out for our Oklahoma Grandson's graduation, my oldest son and daughter.in.law blessed me with a Mother's Day balloon and beautiful roses. Received a lovely card from my Sis and one from my Mom.
Flowers and a lovely card from lil Miss.
Message from a Granddaughter. Well wishes from my Daughter. Card from HUBBY and a special Little House on the Prairie COOK BOOK also a 1890s Ironstone dinner plate with TEA LEAF pattern on it. All very much appreciated. SO much appreciated.
My heart hurts a little as I have not heard from one of my children at all. Saddens me some. I mustn't let it bother me so. Perhaps there will be a late night phone call. If not, I'll wish that there had been. How's about that, the phone just rang and it is he. PTL. Talked for about an hour.
We went to a Grandson's High School Graduation this afternoon around 2 before the stormy weather comes in. Home now and resting.
I worked in a MILE WALK in the morning before having to get ready for the graduation. The start for the mile walks has started! A great way to remember when I started walking a mile is to recall I started on Mother's Day 2024. Hopefully, I will get walks in the mornings and get the work-out out of the way for the day.

When I talked to my MOM she had walked the long hallway in the large building she lives in now. She is an inspiration to me. 92 and goes for walks. PTL. Hope to return to visit sometime in June and then I can walk her hallway 4 times making a mile. I'm up to a good thing here.
LUNCH today was canned chicken on a bed of romaine lettuce. Salt and pepper to taste. One of the quickest salads I know of and I like it immensely which helps. If I eat these for quick LUNCHES or even faster SUPPERS, it will help me shed a few pounds.
AND I MUST get back into the swing of things to lose weight for the long haul. I watched some videos on the computer about MY 600 POUND LIFE. Oh my. I was on my way to being one of them.
NOT PROUD OF THIS WEIGHT, but I know I have to work at being a lighter weight. Time and investment required. The walking has begun and changes in the food program has taken place. I cannot return to the way I ate for so many years. I have graduated.
I watched HOARDERS for a while and now MY 600 POUND LIFE. Seeing the programs helps me to walk through what I need encouragement with when dealing with some areas of my life. The first step is to admit there's a problem. Second, something must be done to be PRO-ACTIVE in changing. Third, DO NOT GIVE UP. Stay with changing. I enjoy watching the short reels of people going from obesity to less. I like to see what becomes of the horrible messes in ones house and see it disappear to looking normal again. Decorating shows that take the before to the now inspire me.
PLANS FOR THE WEEK? Finish that laundry. Heavens. This has grown AGAIN.
Round up things to get rid of.
Vacuum the Living room carpet and dust.
Refold some sheets.
Clear off the dining room table.
Mark the Irises so I know where certain ones are.
Praise the LORD, no medical appointments scheduled this week.
Baby sit lil Dude.
Track Meet.
Clean the cars out.
GO WALKING each day.
Break in some walking shoes that have been boxed up for a couple of years.
Count my blessings and be thankful.
