May 27 2014 Tuesday

I did some weight lifting.  It is the time of year we all try to look better and go on diets and start exercising.  To me, the best thing about exercising, is the feeling better.  Aerobics not only give you more energy, but lift your spirits, make you happier, aside from all the health benefits.  Weight and strength training will keep you moving and able to do things that you like further down the road.  Walking now will assure you to be able to hit the mall later in life when many will be chair bound.  Keep your muscles and bones moving, you don't hear kids complaining about aches and pains, (if they are active).  Exercising won't necessarily take weight off, we all know eating less will do that.  But keep moving!  Do it for you - and your loved ones.


John chapter 10 vs 1 - 10 - It is comforting to know that our God gave us the good shepherd to watch over us, set an example for our lives AND save us from our sins.  Thank you God.


On this day -
2006 - It was a Saturday and perfect for garage sale shopping.  Mom and I got in the car and drove around looking for those signs.  Mom can't do this anymore, I realize she is 92, but had she kept moving I am certain she would still be mobile.  She can no longer, easily, get in and out of the car to check out junk or jewels in a back yard.  It's often the little things you miss.
1896 - 255 people were killed in St. Louis, MO, when a tornado struck.  It is the season, be prepared! 


Parenting - Just as Jesus set an example of good living for us, we try and establish good patterns for our children.  My daughter is much like me, very social and busy all the time.  I have a friend who worries about her niece being raised by role models that don't work, live off of the state and make poor life choices.  I think her involvement in the girls life will make a huge difference in who she decides to emulate. 


Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough.  gotta finish this week.


Venezeula -

Breakfast in Venezuela

Breakfast in Venezuela is a small meal that usually consists of a small pastry or toast served with coffee or fresh juice. A typical breakfast option is the famous Cachitos de Jamon (ham crescent roll) which is mainly made up of corn flour, eggs, ham and butter. Venezuela is one of the leading producers of cacao beans, so you might also consider enjoying a few delicious pieces of Venezuelan chocolate with your coffee at breakfast time.

Lunch in Venezuela

The largest meal in Venezuela is lunch, which is also when most restaurants offer nice specials on traditional Venezuelan dishes, and cuisine from all over the world including Italy, France, Spain, the Caribbean, and foods from many other countries. Almost all restaurants offer a set meal with several courses for a reasonable price, which is often called menu ejecutivo or menu cubietro.

Dinner in Venezuela

Like breakfast, dinner in Venezuela can be a lighter meal that might consist of smaller portions of many of the popular Venezuelan foods


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
