Been thinking

What went wrong? I eat right, many years ago I looked up in a vitamin book what to take and we have been taking them ever since. Vitamin, E, Selenium, Folic acid, Balanced B, Multi, Iron, Alfalfa, we had to take half in the morning the rest with our evening meal.
Meat I can live without, I love homemade vegetable, or pea soups. Hardly any sweets.
I for one lived a rather disciplined life. I weigh the same as about 40 some years ago!

I do exercises, never believed too much in gyms, some go five times a week, get discouraged, and stop, what a waste of money.
If I need an item, I’ll asked for it on my Birthday or Christmas and I do it at home.
The boys still talk about it as every night I’d go on the twister,swoosh…..swoosh…. on the beat of some country music. But slim I was!!!
Even bought a treadmill, I stopped that after I had my feet operated on. It is downstairs in the gym room/baby room.

What I enjoy the most is working in the garden. I would have three yards of soil delivered and single handedly would move it to the flower beds in one day. One time as I was filling up a wheelbarrow, an older Filipino man walked by, stopped and asked: “You no husband?” to which I replied, showing my skinny arm, and with all my might trying to show him my muscles, “ me, is very strong!!!! He shook his head and walked on.

Last summer had gravel delivered for our three car-parking pad. The deliveryman looked at us, (as Yvonne had come over with the girls); probably wondering and pittying us but again, we did it!
By the time he came with the soil we had spread the gravel out.

Having said all this, it has made the recovering from the operation a lot easier. Getting up from a lying position, no problem, the wound has been healing well, (Vit E). Plus, as per my surgeon, for the operating staff, it made the work so much easier.

Some people smoke and live to be 100. Does that mean, I am throwing in the towel?
No way, I think we owe it to the Lord to take care of His temple, we owe it definitely to our spouse and children and grandkids. So I just keep on doing what I have been doing, keep on wearing those hip jeans and according to Yvonne, no old ladies hairdos! After all, I don’t like shopping in old ladies store’s either!

Talk to you later
