I was asked to list 5 positive physical things about myself . Last night as I laid in bed thinking about how the 5 positive physical things I could list were mostly about my face, and how hard it was for me to think of positive physical things about me! I started to think about my body and what I didn't like about the rest of me. As I was doing so, I realized that I was being very ungrateful for what I had. My legs are fat. But they support me and I can walk! What a blessing. My Mother didn't have this blessing for the last 15 years of her life! My stomach hangs and is fat! But it works right and I can eat and enjoy food because it does. A blessing that Terri Holden and Donna Funk don't have. My arms sag and are fat. But I bet any one to the many soldiers who have lost an arm serving our country would gladly take a fat saggy arm. My hands are old and wrinkled. but all my fingers work and I can write, crochet, crosstich and play with my grand kids. I have many hours of enjoyment because these old hands work. My hair is gray. But I know of cancer victims who would gladly take my gray hair just to have hair. There are so many blessings that I have with My body just the way it is! I want to learn to love it now, and make it healthier for the future. Losing weight, if it happens, will be a great side effect. But I will be concentrating on taking better care of this wonderful blessing called ME! I hope and pray that each of us will come to know what a blessing our bodies are, especially me.

Well I decided I had better post again!! I keep thinking I should wait for pictures but my good camera is still not working right. So anyway we had a wonderful hail storm today!! Complete with thunder!! I love a good thunder storm!! The hail was has big as marbles. I was fun to stand on the porch and watch it. And it sounds wonderful on the tin roof!!
The house is coming along slowly. They are doing a good job but don't work on it every day. I guess they have other jobs that they have to do also. I was going to have a garden window in the kitchen. But after I found out it would cost $900-$1300 for one I decided that my window was just fine. I haven't seen the new side windows for the front of the house yet, but it will be nice to have ones that actually close.

Updates of Porch and Landing

Becky took these pictures and videos for me. With all the cameras we have not one is working right. But this is how far we are now. They have started on the siding, but we got a huge snow storm this morning, so I don't think they will be working today on it. I love my new door and chandelier. The roof is the hunter green the same as the garage roof. It will be so nice to have the hole house the same color.
