HI TEAM ~
Well we just knocked off some burgers and hot dogs, at the son's house, for our family monthly get together. One each for me but the chips and the potato/macaroni salad will do me in for the calorie count!
DANG! why does summer food have to be so fattening?
We did have a great time though
First family party at son/dil's new house, played some bean bag toss in the yard...my family cannot stand to sit the entire time! My son and a few of his buddies were having such a great time and they didn't even go to bed until 8am this morning! Hanging out with professional Football cheer-leaders last night....oh...to be young again!
By 7:30am Angie and I had already walked the dogs a couple of miles.
KAT ~ I think you looked GREAT! in the last picture. We are not perfect people but I can tell you something you already know...as long as you put the effort in to be the weight you want to be at...and do it without excuses that are just plain BS...you will succeed and you will be where you want to be in time
JULES ~ Things that we say out of anger or hurting are usually feelings we have carried for a long time...feelings that we carry that we most probably shouldn't have to! People through out our lives are going to be jerks! There is not a whole lot we can do about it other than how we respond to it. We all should have fathers that adore us and raise us up on pedestals...but that does not always happen....as human beings we fail many times. MY father was not a great one....although I always felt loved...I really should say he was not a great husband...but he was abused as a child by a father that loved church kids more than his own...I hope that...no! I know that I am a much better father than those two! My kids will tell you and their friends will tell you...I was given several hugs today by, now grown men, that are friends of my kids, at a party we had, that have always told my son how lucky he was to have such a great dad..ME
....I guess my point...and it isn't bragging about me!...is that at any time WE can change the cycle! I know that you have changed it just from the conversations on the grand kid! Our FATHER, Creator has always been there for us....sometimes we need to move our lives a bit to see the blessings He has given us. If I preach to you they YELL at me here! So I will leave it at that dear.
MINDY ~Enjoy the time away from the fridge!...be careful
DUTCH ~We all crawl back from time to time...we are a
TEAM here and that is why we succeed when others fail! We watch out for each other. All of us have failed ourselves at some point...but we always come back...we need to...we depend on each other to get us through!
There are very few threads here that are as solid as we are! That ain't no baloney!
ALL IN FOR A GOOD WEEK OF CHOICES SAY AI!
