Three days until Thanksgiving, then Christmas. WOW! Then 2009! I can hardly believe how fast this year has gone by. I will have to reflect on this past year, and think of what I have accomplished. Not tonight. I have got the crazy bug that seems to be going around. Yuck! and now....... JB has it.
I did get out of the house today and bought our Thanksgiving turkey and the fixins' for dinner, so I am glad about that, I need to pick up a pie or two from Sams, and JB wants eggnog.
Speaking of eggnog...that's a segway, I will be at Weight Watchers tomorrow, I need to get back on track. I have lost about 17 lbs in a little over a year, 12 of it on WW, I have 9 or 10 more to go.
This has been a journey, kind of like driving cross country, without a map.
I just have to remember:
You made my whole being; you formed me in my mothers body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What YOU have done is wonderful. PSALM 139: 13-14
Hope everyone has a blessed tomorrow.

- I am a 50 something stay at home wife. I am a mother,and a grandmother. I am a Christ Follower and I am daily learning how much God loves me. I have seen God work in small ways and big ways all I consider miracles. Oh, how he loves ME! One of my biggest gifts is that I am walking this Christ walk with my husband, JB. We keep each other accountable.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JB
Today is JB's birthday! The years have flown by! Yesterday was Haleys birthday! Again time has flown by.
Not much going on in my world today, dinner at Panera....Yummy, I need soup. I've been watching the snow flurries out my living room window. I love seeing snow, of course I am warm and cozy in my house.
My thought for today, think before you speak.
The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl. Proverbs 25:11
I just read this my daily planner and thought it was worth sharing. Speaking of daily planner, I am working towards the goal of being more organized in 2009. It is a process. They (whoever they are) say it takes 21 days to develop a habit, well I have about 40 days left in this year so hopefully I will get there. Life is a journey and this is just one that I am on.
Be Blessed

ONE CAN
Here we go again! Waited waaaayyyy to long to post.
JB and I have taken on a mission to help out out local food bank. They totally ran out of food two weeks ago, and have gotten some donations. My heart was really touched when I learned there was no food, complete with pictures of the empty bins, and shelves.
I feel like the Lord really touched my heart and with it gave me a real visual of kids collecting one can for the hungry. So, we named our mission/campaign (this is the first time I have called it a mission) anyway it is called One Can---Feed the Hungry. If I can post the flyer we composed, I will. We have had great response in our neighborhood just by going door-to-door!
My thoughts and request is check out you own neighborhood, there may be a need that you can help fill. This winter will be very cold, there are homeless who need coats, socks, blankets, maybe you can collect gently used items and donate them. There are families who will not have Christmas, maybe you and a group of friends can adopt this family. There are so many needs to be met, and what a gift to yourself to make a difference in someones life.
Blessings to All

Feed the Hungry
We are doing a food collection for our local Frederick, Maryland Food Bank. The shelves and baskets at the bank are empty. This food collection will continue until the shelves are overflowing. The theme of our food collection is ONE CAN, Feed the hungry. Our belief is if we can only collect one non-perishable food item from each of our friends and neighbors we can make a difference in the lives of others. If you would like to contribute one or more items to the ONE CAN campaign, please drop them off at:

ELECTION DAY
What can I say? Voting today was a very emotional experience for me. It was an odd reaction (I mean for crying out loud, it was a vote)but for me, an emotional one. It would serve no purpose to say who I voted for, but to experience such a historical voting day is beyond any words I could write. I was moved to pray over the whole process, and cast my ballot. Viola, it was done.
I went to the poll(s) at about 9:30ish (am), and it was a breeze, no line, then JB went around 1:00ish (pm) and the same no line, no wait, no problem.
I then went to McD's and told the manager I was having a celebratory cup of coffee ( I thought I was funny), went to Sams to pick up a couple of things, then to Michaels, to check out whats new in crafting, and finally the highlight of my day, I went to lunch with my friend, Midge.
So, I was gone for about 5 hours, just killing time.
Tomorrow I have a Dr.s appt. He is supposed to do a nerve conduction test on my leg. I am a wee bit nervous about this, we shall see.
Thats about it for me for today.
One more thing, today is my dads birthday! Happy Birthday, on this historical voting day.
Blessings,
