185.5/exercise/walk/funeral home

This morning I got up and spend 25 minutes working out with 5 pound weights.  I know that is not a lot of weight BUT after you have been doing curls and back presses and trying to exercise using all muscles and combinations of of muscles those 5 pounds start feeling like it is 10 pounds.  Of course I know we have to challenge our muscles.

Then I walked for 45 minutes,---pedometer steps are7440,  I did wear my pedometer while I cleaned house, and talked on the phone. But I love walking through the woods.   The air is sweet and the birds sing and occasionally I see deer and squirrels, and rabbits.  Often I see turtles and frogs, and once a huge rat.  Twice I have seen snakes.  I never see people back there.  Just me and nature and I love to talk to the Lord while I walk.  It is very peaceful.

At 6 pm Dh and I went to the funeral home for the visitation.  His friend died Sat. morning, dh is going to be one of the pall bearers.  Visitation used to be called "a sitting up"  My mom told me that they called it that because long ago the bodies would be taken to the home of the dead person.  In the summertime when it got hot they would have to have windows and doors open and someone would have to stay awake all night to keep animals from getting to the body.  I don't know if that is true or not but it does make sense. 

That was my day.
sleep well
God bless
