Motivational Gift


My sweet Daughter gave me these this week for my Birthday. Talk about motivation! This book is really good with lots of information about all the ways just walking 30 min a day can help us. And the Pedometer is wonderful! It tells me how far I have gone, how many steps I took, Calories burned, and  fat grams burned.
It's great! I have a perfect safe place to walk in our comminity so I have no excuses. She said she wants to keep me around for a while longer. Thank you Karen!
I had that flue/cold that was going around and it left me very tired and has taken a long time to feel normal again. Plus my Thyroid has been too low. So tired from that too. This week it is up some and I am feel pretty good. So I am walking  and starting to do projects again. 

My hubby gave me a new light on the pole in front of our house and the sconces to match as you can see in my new header picture I took this morning. That is what I asked for, so he put them up yesterday. It's those little things that can make a difference huh?  We had very old brass ones before. 
Now I am working on a house number plague, a painting for daughter, and a sign. So I have been busy!
Well I am going for my walk about 9:00 pm when it will be cooler as this is the warmest day we have had so far. It does not get dark here till 10:00! 
Have a Blessed Weekend!

Happy (belated?) Birthday Sharon!
What a wonderful family you have! I've jotted down your book author's name and will see if I can find it at our library. I love to walk. It is so hot here now no matter what time of day, so sometimes I even walk back and forth the length of my house for 30 minutes.
I love the lights your thoughtful husband put up. Every one of those little details adds up to a beautiful picture. I have prayed and thanked God for the healing that's taken place in you and asked that His healing hand would continue to be upon you.
Blessings,
Terri
