Thanksgiving


Psalm 100:4 - Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

We had a sweet thanksgiving this year. We are such a small family that my husband, sister, and I often opt to dine out versus making the turkey and all the trimmings. This year we went to Ocean City Maryland. We enjoyed a quiet time of walks on the boardwalk, dinner overlooking the ocean, Christmas lights, and a little bit of shopping. We ate well, laughed lots, rested much, and made memories that we will keep in our hearts. I am so thankful to God for all that He has given me, and yes for even what He has not.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone.

I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night
