My tuesday update

I posted this morning, but this is an update


I have gained 6 pounds in a little over 3 weeks.  That is so disheartening.  But I think I hve gotten it under control I hope I have gotten myself under control.

Today I went for a really long walk, my pedometer steps is 12112 that is 6 miles.  Now I did not walk that much when I went out walking that is also all the steps that I did while I straightened up and talked on the phone.  I talked o my mom and my sister and I talked to my dd about 4 times.  I am really glad that I have a good relationship with my dd,  at one time I was doubtful that we would ever be able to talk to each other civilly.   Those teenager years were torture for her and of course I was the one she took it out on.  But we survived.  She married in her early 20's and her husband was a crackhead.  He sold allmost all that they had before she called me and asked to come home with him.   I said yes with stipulations and he stayed maybe a month and could not hold out any longer and he wanted crack worse than he wanted dd. Husband and I paid for her divorce and she remarried two years later and now has a beautiful son .  WOW where did all tha come from ?????

It is cold here and I am so thankful that we have shelter.  It is supposed to be record lows here.  There are 5000 homeless people in our nearest city.  Lord take care of them and keep them warm and safe.  Even in one place some businesses have come togeather and bought tents for the homeless so that they will stop sleeping in the dumpsters, Butit is so cold that I fear they will freeze, and what about the children.  So very sad.

Stay safe and warm everyone
God bless
