To Lighten up. That's my goal - both literally, and figuratively.
Lately, I have this overwhelming desire to take up less space in this world.
There are only 20 days left until my 51st birthday and the count down to my 100 mile in ninety day goal. I'm actually doing OK. My weight is down to 232lb (about a 13lbs loss). I have ran 72 miles so far. I have now graduated to 2 miles per day so I should (good Lord willing) make it with plenty to spare. It will be a nice birthday present to me from me.
I'm also on another kind of diet in my quest to take up less space. It's really more of an ego diet.
It includes things like keeping my mouth shut more and expressing my opinions less. It is coming to grips with the fact that I don't really have all of the answers, and the answers that I do happen to have, no one really wants nor needs to hear.
I am on the I Thessalonians 4:11-12 Diet:
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders ans so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
My heart knows but my head says are you sure??

It is so hard to lighten up with so much going on around us. I say take one day at a time. I have learned to try and process before I open my mouth.
Love ya,

If you ONLY drink water and ONLY eat lettuce, you will loose weight fast. LOL
We sure miss the family at MHCOC. We didn't get to worship with you guys long enough. It's tough to find a church family in NC. God will find a place for us.
