I love when you share what the Lord has taught you. Thank you Sam.........today I needed to hear those words.
In a casual conversation with a friend I came to realize how people might view the things I write, say or experience.
I asked the person if they believed God spoke to me.
The answer.......I can't answer... only you and He know for sure.
WOW. Eye opener of me.

Well, I didn't want to totally assume a new identity!  And you can't see my nametag in the pic, but it is a "Fun Betty" nametag!! (I have a Betty nametag and totally snuck to the label maker machine and made a "Fun" label to put in front of my name).
It's a little cool here in TX. Kind of weird for mid-april, but no complaints from me, because Summer's coming!

Indeed. I had a job where my boss gave me a label maker to use (for a specific purpose, of COURSE!  ) but right before I quit to move away I made a label that said "Tina was here" and stuck it underneath a desk. That was 4+ years ago, and I sooo wish I could go back and see if it's still there (it probably is)

Doing a little devotion that I like to sneak in daily from a special book ...
The high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days
2 Chronicles 15:17
Are there things in our life - whether physical or intellectual - where we are not paying attention? Just as our heart must beat continuously day after day, and just as we must feed and exercise our bodies to maintain our health - we must spend time in the Word daily, we must spend time in conversation with God - it is necessary for our spiritual health.
Are we guilty of thinking "Oh, that thing in my life doesn’t matter much"? Is the enemy trying to refocus our thoughts away from what God desires from us? Next time a thought runs through your mind, rather than pushing it aside, ask yourself "Why am I thinking that?" Is it something God is convicting us on? Is it a little thought that we need to bring to His attention to help in our walk of faith? What is it? Why are we thinking these things? Phil 4:8 tell us to think about things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely ... are these the things we are filling our mind with? The wonders in this world that God has given us to think about and enjoy? Or are we focusing on what's next? What more can I buy? What more can I have?
Are we appreciating what He has given us? Or are we just taking it all for granted? How much longer are we going to prevent God from teaching us even one thing He wants us to know? He is always trying to teach us, and He never loses patience.
Praise God for His tremendous love and mercy and grace!

Today, I am humoring myself. I found my pedometer and will find out just how much walking I'm doing.
Will I be surprised? Will it be a  kind of surprise or a  kind of surpirse?
LOL ...
Last night the munchkin and I went to the workout room. I have learned that treadmills are, well, boring. There's not a whole lot of excitement going on while I'm *walking*. Yeah, sure, I can change if I'm taking a nice little stroll or a fast walk. I can change if I'm walking on flat land or pretend like I'm hiking up the incline of a mountain. But, let's fact it, there's no change in scenery! There's no chance of catching a gentle breeze. There's no running across another person who's also walking and enjoying the day!! There's no interaction with other people!!
The other thing I discovered is I don't like this getting older thing. Now, don't get me wrong - I certainly don't mind the aging factor when it comes to the numbers. No no no, that doesn't bother me in the least. I like leaving those *younger* years behind, and enjoy knowing that I'm learning something every day. I love that!
Then what? It's the little aches in my bones. When I do the stepper, my hip hurts from overdoing weight training in my 20's. (Why didn't they tell me upfront that I shouldn't have been doing that amount of weight - just because I could do it didn't necessarily mean it was a good thing.) When I walk a lot, my ankle sometimes hurts from tearing ligaments many years ago. (I still hear echos of the doctor telling me I would have been better off breaking my ankle. Nice. Thanks. 'preciate that doc.) When I ride the bike, after a while my knee does this little popping thing. (I have vivid memories of that bike crash... and the bruises, and the glass imbedded in the palms of my hands. And I remember telling myself that I couldn't let that stop me from doing something I loved so much.)
*sigh*
THAT's the part of getting older I'm not enjoying.

Sometimes I get discourage at the things which are harder for me to do now.......then I look at other people my age and think wow, girlie, you have it so much better then you think.
A strong, healthy body is a blessing for sure.

It sure isn't for wimps - but we don't have a choice 
A friend suggests that I try - I don't even know if I'm going to say it correctly, so laugh if I'm way off - a supplement with glucosamine / chondroitin. But isn't that for arthritis? I take something for my arthritis (which I've had since I was 13), and it's most helpful. When I am negligent about taking it, I can definitely tell, so I know it's working well for me. And I get it through natural sources.
I really hesitate to just take something because it's the popular thing to do. That seems like a bad idea. I'm thinking I need to check into some other forms of exercise to help with the hip / knee / ankle issues. I am all about natural remedies - whether that's the diet (the whole of the foods I consume), exercise, supplements, or cutting something out of my diet. I am all for chiropractic, massage, and accupressure.
Have you done tai-chi? I heard it's gentle on joints, but also good for strengthening. In fact, I have a couple tapes - and let me tell you - wowzers! Talk about a workout. Okay, the ones I have really focus on the thighs and behind. And does it ever work those areas. 
I think I'll keep a food and exercise log, to include aches and energy level notes. That way I can look back and see if there are any trends, of if there is something that triggers certain things - good or bad.

I have to remind myself where I live. What did I think?
