Pilates with the ring.  Again exercising on your  back, a plus.  It does work everything out though with less stress to the back.  There is so much info out there about exercising, surely you can find something that appeals to you.  I read that when you take a walk a short burst of fast walking, just a few seconds will benefit you immensely.  First you got to take that walk.

1 John  Chapter 2 - tells us that the greatest indicator that God loves us is that he calls us children of God.  Parents love their children, claim them and care for them, as God does for you.

1984 - On this day, my husband Mark and I went down to Mott Center and had an amniocentesis test done.  I was 38 and their was family history to worry about.  The news was excellent, the baby (Nicole) was fine and that we were having a daughter.  Mark immediately decided her name should be Smedley.  The test was easier for me then Mark, I thought he was going to pass out.

Parenting - Everyone wants a healthy baby, and most are, but there are the ones that have to bear and extra cross in life.  God does not do that, now is the time to consider evolution, after creation.  I had a brother, David, that was born with a stem cell abnormality, a genetic defect.  He never matured past infant stage, but lived to 16 years old.  It gives you an extra depth of emotion to love someone like that.  God bless the caregivers.

Unalaska - lets look at some history!

“Crossroads of the Aleutians"

Unalaska has witnessed sweeping change in nine-thousand years of human history.
The Unangan people were the first to inhabit the island of Unalaska which they named “Ounalashka” meaning ‘Near the Peninsula’. They developed an intricate and complex society long before the first contact with Russian fur traders who documented their existence. Artifacts, stories, and re-creations of their rich culture can be viewed and studied at the Museum of the Aleutians with many artifacts dating back roughly 9,000 years.
The Russian influence is best viewed by touring the Holy Ascension Russian Orthodox Cathedral, one of the oldest cruciform-style Russian churches in the country. The Cathedral is a National Historic Landmark and houses one of Alaska's largest and richest collections of Russian artifacts, religious icons and art pieces, some having been donated to the church directly from Catherine the Great.

Enjoy the Day!  Make it memorable!
