Random Thoughts

Today was pretty kick back and relaxed for once. It was nice because one of my visiting teachers came to visit. She is a really sweet lady who lives basically across the street from me. I wish I had her patience and kindness. Right now I am working on getting all of the laundry done. The house is cleaned so the laundry is the last thing that has to be done. Thankfully though we are blessed to live in a time where we have washing machines and dryers to do the work for us. Today I also was able to get my visiting teaching route letters out in the mail. I feel like I have accomplished a lot today :D

Ok I have been thinking about my goals. I know that what the doctor told me about the weight thing is primarily due to the prednisone and once I am off of the prednisone things will go down for me. However, I am going to stick with the weight watchers points thing with the exercise. I do get about an hour of excercise three times a week at physical therapy so that is good. The days in between physical therapy I will be using my resistance bands for strength training, and I will use my stepper machine along with doing some yoga with my plank pose. Please keep me in your prayers so that I can succeed at being healthy again.

I have been working on my inner self as well. I have been doing my personal scripture reading and prayers. I have also been making sure that my Sunday School lessons are prepared ahead of time as well. I want to be a better person on the inside and out. It isn't easy to do the right things, but I have been scheduling in my time for reading my scriptures and saying my prayers every day and it has been making a difference. I know that after a couple more months of doing it regularly every day that it will become a blessed habit.

Some of our dear friends are moving to Utah. I am so happy for them. I am going to miss them a lot though. Life here in Klamath will not be the same without them. There won't be anyone to hang out with or to do Sunday family dinner with after church. I am praying though, that Heavenly Father will bless us with someone here to adopt us into their family so that we won't be so lonely here. I am thankful though that we do live in the electronics era so that we can still keep in touch through email and phone calls.
