A VERY GOOD TIME TO THINK, ADMIRE THE SURROUNDINGS AND PRAY

HERE I SIT with a fan blowing on my ole sweaty bod, cooling off from my morning walk.  Jumping in a pool looks very inviting right about now.

After I get cooled off, I want to get in the car and clock how far I went since it was a new route for me.

Hubby woke me this morning to tell me it is probably the coolest temp it will be for this Summer day with a cool breeze blowing.  He was outside mowing our lawn.  I got up, put my hair in a pony tail and got dressed.  Out the door I went and decided to take a new route.  A very good time to think, admire the surroundings and pray.

It was wonderful conditions for a morning hike.  About 77 degrees out with a gentle breeze.  I timed myself and was HOME close to 30 minutes later.  Sweat was dripping in my eyes.  Need to carry a hankie in my pocket on these walks or were a bandana.  

When I walk the neighborhoods, I always see things that I haven't noticed before.  I truly need to walk more in the cool of the day.  After I have completed my walks, it lifts my spirits that I actually have done it.  Now to get lighter in my weight.  This would certainly help make my walks easier carrying less weight.  Let it be.

This walking thing is my newest HOBBY.  I have to look at it this way so I don't feel burdened down.  I weighed myself this morning and not much has changed.  Which can be looked at as a positive that I didn't gain.  I think of the character ROCKY sometimes when I walk.  grins.

The head cold I've been fighting off is still hanging around.  More Vitamin C, please.  I'm feeling slightly better, but still have the sniffles, a slight cough and watery eyes.  Shucks.

If I can cut this off at the pass perhaps I will be able to stop the train wreck of a cold.  A simple cold can cause such misery.

It's been a couple of years since I watched THE GILDED AGE.  Last night was episode one of season 3.  I think the costumes are getting a little more elaborate for the women.  How's the story line going?  Will I stay interested in this drama?  Hard to say.  At least there is no swearing. 

I started watching THE BETTER SISTER and should have turned it off right away when the verbiage included the  F  b o m b.  I suppose the actors get paid more to swear foul language, show skin and grunt.  

If I can break the habit of watching television during the daylight hours, which I did along time ago, then I can break the habit of watching programs with foul language.  

As for TV I'll be watching OFF GRID WITH DOUG AND STACY tonite on youtube to see what Doug says if anything about the  b o m b i n g  of Iran.  Concerned about WW3.  sigh.

TODAY's PLANS.  Walk, blog, research on the internet, laundry, write out our bills, work in the front bedroom, track the milage of the new walking route, water the plants, work on paperwork, take a nap, fix a huge salad for Lunch, shuffle some things about the house, oil down the dining room chairs and table.  Scrambled eggs with spinach for Breakfast.  Some fruit later.  Water of course.

HAPPY ABOUT IT.  I got the dining room table cleared off.  PTL.  It was a long time in the coming.  Now to conquer the pile of paper accumulating.  Just do it and be happy. 

Looked after our youngest grandson on Sunday.  He is such a live wire and a talker.  Love him.  Took him to the swimming pool and let him play in the Baby Pool for an hour.  Temps hit 93.  I sat in the sun with a hat on and a towel laying over my exposed legs which were burning.  It was HOT and I was ready to be back indoors once we got HOME.  We walked there and back.  Not bad for an old lady.
