A sunny day...

Posted by Marie Winters Adams at 9:24 AM

Here's a few pics from Christmas time that I wanted to post. The first one is of baby Gwen after her last surgery on her lip. It looks sooo much better. She has all the apparatus off now and is doing fine. The other ones are of the Grandkids, (one of Kallista) and Greg is in a couple of them. Maybe because Heidi is the one that took these pics. Mine didn't turn out too well. I've gotta start taking my good camera with - instead of using my I-phone. The last photo is of all of us (except Rocky) at Hoover Dam.
I'm so glad we were all able to get together. I can see it is getting harder and harder to make that happen.

Anyways, I have to report about yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny day here. I decided to do my 11 miles around the Columbia River. And believe it or not, I actually got hot. I had layered on too many clothes. But it felt good to be outside and sweat it out. My phone said that it got up to 55 degrees!
I know it's causing a lot of melting and flooding which isn't good, but I sure enjoyed the day.
Well, I can say that my feet felt like lead on most of the walk . I just couldn't run that much. So that is telling me that I'm not going to be in the best shape for this marathon. Oh, well.......... I'm just going to have to do what I can.
I'm just so thankful that I can get out and move. I feel so badly about Vera. She can't even stand up. Your quality of life does suffer when you are laying in bed most of the day, that's for sure.

To laugh often and love much

To laugh often and love much--
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children--
To earn the honest approbation of critics and endure the betrayal of false friends--
To appreciate the beauty --
To find the best in others--
To give of one's self--
To leave the world a little better whether by a garden patch...a healthy child...or a redeemed social condition--
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sang with exultation--
To know even one life has breathed a little easier, because you have lived--
this is success.

Marianne Williamson

I'm a fan of Marianne Williamson. Here's a quote from her:

Regardless of how dark things get, there is light that will ultimately follow the darkness. For that is guaranteed by God. What lies in our hands -- what is completely up to us as beings of free will -- is how long the night will last and how quickly the light will get here. Many people on this earth have cast great light, and now is a moment when all of us must. At a time of war, let's cultivate peace. At a time of hate, let's cultivate love. At a time of hopelessness, let's cultivate hope.
