My Day 1-11-012

Hi Bloggers,

What a special day this has been for me. I was awakened this AM believing something good is going to happen today. Ed and I went to the mall for a very short time, and when we returned I had a message that a special friend would like to come visit tomorrow.

We had only been home a short time when our good friend Carolyn from our YMCA group called with the most pleasant surprise!!  The group is planning a lunch party on Monday of next week.  One of our group lives in UP State New York in the summer and comes to live with her son in Atlanta for the winter, she is 92 years young .  Today was her first day for aerobics.
She and I spent much of our class time together in the shallow end of the pool visiting.
She asked about me,  so the class decided on the spur of the moment  to bring her to see me.
We have a lunch date on Monday in Roswell.... What an honor!!!!  I'm so excited !!! I haven't seen some of these folk in awhile.  There is nothing like old friends getting together.

My Day 1-9-012

Hi Bloggers,

What a blessed day it has been for me my email buddies, telephone calls, and a message from one of my special cyber friends have made my day.  Friends are so special.

Susan took her family to a museum in Madison, WI last week.  She described all the  the activities they enjoyed together so well that it brought back  many pleasant memories of the many visits my family and I made to special museums  while traveling in the USA and Europe. American History has always been my  favorite subject.

When God blessed us with our first son it was my desire to take him to our nation's capital every five years so that he would appreciate our country's history...

That goal I set for Doug so many years ago has truly paid off for him.  He is truly a history buff.  When all the family are here visiting and watching Television, he sneaks the remote control and bores all the others with the history channel.

Museums have always have been very special to him.  He spends hours reading monuments. We have often laughed at my mathematician husband's interest in museums he can go through a museum in five minutes. I think he could cover the Smithsonian in thirty  minutes.give or take a few.

I hope your day has been as special as mine.

My Day 1-7-012

Hi Bloggers,

When I was a child I have a vivid memory of my mother's favorite article from the Birmingham Post, entitled My Day.  This was an article written by the wife our president at the time and published daily in newspapers all over the USA .
  

Ed and I consider every morning when we open our eyes it is our day, NO MATTER WHAT!
Since the challenges we both have had battling cancer we think the best way we can spend the sunset years of our lives is encouraging others who have been diagnosed  with a degenerative disease.  My advice to each one reading this post::

.1. Live every day as if it were the last day of your life.

 2. Set goals as if you will live forever.
 3. Always think positive thoughts.
 4, Keep a song in your heart and a smile on your face.
 5. Stay close to your loved ones and let them know you love them.
 5. Give Praises to our Creator for every blessing.

Keep Looking Up

January Happenings Jan. 1, 012

What a wonderful experience to be in the house of our Lord and Savior Jesus Chist on this special day...... the very first day of 2012.
Dr. Ron delivered a most meaningful, inspirational, encouraging, and thought provoking message to our congregation, and Tyler and our wonderful chior sent us out with a smile on our face and a song in our heart.  Who could ask for anything more?

January is such a long month but there are so many projects whirling around in my head I feel sure the days will go so fast that on Jan 31st I will ask myself where did all the time go?
I have so much to share with my  family, friends and cyber acquaintances I hardly know where to
begin.

Keep looking up
Counting our blessings

Alice
