HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL!



TODAY: Lanny's brother, Jack Michael turns 54! Amazing. He's outlived the doctors predictions by over 49 years... all due to the tender love and care of him mom, Waverly. She is amazing. Seems like the last couple times we called she's been so tired and the phone conversations pretty short. Please keep her in your prayers as she deals with this cancer. Michael is still with her and much of the work is on Rita's shoulders....please pray for her, too. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. We may not always get the answers we want..... but He gives us the strength and peace to endure what is ahead. We are so thankful for Michael and for Waverly. We are also thankful for Dylan today and lift him up in prayer. And Lester Bussing....one of Papa's bestest friends for the past 19 years!


Today I am starting diet #234,874. lol! I am actually going to be careful what I choose to eat and start walking Toby twice a day. Maddie and I walked him yesterday like the Dog Whisperer did and it was amazing how he settled down within 5 minutes!!! You can train an old dog new tricks!!! I really love that show.


MORE YESTERDAY: Had a good time with Maddie. I miss my grandkids around me so much it makes me cry at times. If you are a grandparent.... you know what I am saying. They are the best people in the world. They just love me... and don't judge, criticize, or get mad at me over anything. They just love me just because. I don't have to measure up in their eyes! Everyone needs that in their life. Unconditional love. Sadly, as adults, we tend to lose and not use that on others. The grandkids are my role models just as Jesus is and I am trying to improve and love others no matter how they act or treat me. That's what Jesus does. Off the soap box. Speaking of grandkids....Patrick got his braces yesterday and he looks so adorable!!! Check out Heather's website for a picture! Now Dylan is all worried and full of questions about braces. I sure enjoyed my evening with Papa last night. I love it when he is home. Had my doctor call last night and go over the results. He is still concerned about my blood pressure so I need to monitor it every day. My cholesterol and glucose levels are borderline. He thinks if I take off some weight we can manage them all without medication! That is good news. Other good news is that my thyroid, potassium and kidney levels were perfect. So I need to take off 10 pounds by the end of January and he wants to see me again then. I can do it. Well...you all have a great day!

You can do it, you are awesome! Loved the diet number, when people ask how much I have lost, I say at least a ton. I am sure it must be that over the years of losing, gaining, losing, gaining. I was on two different blood pressure medications since I was sixteen, when I lost the weight I have not been on any. You can do it!

You can do it! Its funny, today I just told Randy I was getting back on the treadmill every day and eating better. I was doing so well, I was on a role, but as soon as I took a few days off I was completely off.
So, I am with you! To bad you don't live closer!
