Still moving forward

At the age of 64 things look a little different than when I was 30.  Back then getting old seemed far away and impossible, now when I roll out of bed I come up easy and wait a second while my head clears and I can safely stand up, bending over to get something on the floor while not impossible sure takes planning.  Even a brief excursion into the yard to work means sore muscles later and periods of heavy breathing!

Same with work, I now take my time measuring a house, why rush and get it wrong, just take your time and it begins to take shape on paper as you measure.  This afternoon we drove to Stockton, went through a security gate and found the home we were to see.  It was very nice and there was a shade tree so Marilyn would not bake while waiting in the car.  The house was great but a bit complicated so it took a bit longer, so what, better to get it right than try to remember later one what was there.

After we finished the house I was feeling the blood sugar free fall so we went to Spaghetti Factory and had a great dinner, adult portion, whole wheat pasta, broccoli on the side, of course everything was swimming in butter!  Anyway it was a great meal and we enjoyed it.

After we got home we heard little voices, it was Kallie who came into the office and grabbed me in a hug, with a huge smile on her lovely face and sparkling eyes the room came alive.  Keanna was in the living room in the children's play area and was already fast at work in her kitchen.  What a nice punch to an ordinary day.

Well good night to all and a special prayer request for a special friend, and another prayer request for Carol and Roger as they cope with the loss of Carol's father, and another special request that God guide over Carrol as she enters a new chemo therapy.  God bless them all.

Love

Tim
