as I know you know, but just to remind you...
when knocked down, the saints get up again...
we fall down, we get up again.
I'm on a track to better health, too - and I encourage you to keep on, keepin' on!
Something I've learned is that it is very easy to talk myself out of a hike when it's raining or snowing or just plain cold. And it is JUST THEN, precisely that moment when I begin telling myself that it's just too ________ to exercise, that other part of me has learned to say
JUST GO.
It's not a matter of feeling like it, it's a matter of obedience. Which has such sweet rewards!!
Those things you listed are all before you...GO MEET EACH ONE of THEM = ' )
love to you. you are on the prayer list of many you know. :)
