So many thoughts wanting to come out...

Max and I have spent the day running and doing..... I am weary. I got my allergy shots today and I aways feel badly after I get them. We were on the North Side today at the very large TJMax Home Store! Oh how much fun to go there. I purchased some fun things for our home and also some things for the home I have been helping to decorate.

I received word that the son of one of the ladies in the aerobic class lost his battle for life today. Charolette is one of the dearest ladies and is such a joy to be around. Her son has been very ill for a few weeks and she was believing with all her heart that he would regain his health. My heart goes out to her and her husband. I pray God will wrap his arms around them and comfort them.

I also learned that Roberta, the oldest of our aerobic class, died this morning. She had just said (yesterday) that she was feeling well and would attend our monthly birthday luncheon on Friday. One never knows???? She was 90 and so very sweet. I believe she has been in the group from the very beginning.

Life is precious and it is so very important that we live it in beauty and thankfulness. In the face of death, we realize there is no time for bitterness, hard feelings, 'not getting along' with those we love or fault-finding. Life is so beautiful and truly a gift from God. I choose to live life loving others, loving God and endeavoring to make life pleasant for others. I want to learn new things and discover all the gifts God has given me. I am so thankful He has given me a few gifts. Thankful for the gift of friends and family.

I get to stay home tomorrow!!!! Yeah! I think I shall have my quiet time in the morning, walk the treadmill, read the paper and work the crossword puzzle, have coffee with my husband, write some letters and maybe work on pictures for scrap booking. Well, we will see what all I actually do accomplish....Mmmmm, maybe I will just do nothing at all.

I trust you all have a very wonderful night, filled with sweet dreams.

Talk to you another day.
