Worked out with weights this morning. You can use cans of food or milk jugs filled with water. Just try some squats while holding the weights down at your sides and then do some arm curls in front with your elbows at your sides. It all helps you to keep up your strength and feel better!
Get Faith
Psalm 103 - my favorite psalm. It really speaks to me personally. I want the whole psalm read at my funeral. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits -- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, No sin too big - confess (for your own sake) and be forgiven.
On this day:
2001 Soccer was played in the spring then. South Lakes team won the Districts against Mt Clemens on a Saturday. My friend Norma came to watch the game and Lloyd who often showed up at her games was spotted in the crowd. They had a star on the team Jenny who was the best in the state - who played through, even with mono. It was a great season to watch.
1835 - P.T. Barnum launched his first traveling show. The main attraction was Joice Heth. Heth was reputed to be the 161-year-old nurse of George Washington. I found this to be laughable, how about you? But nurses WILL hang in and work.
Parenting
Went to see Mom yesterday. As I said she really likes it there, so far. I notice most of the others, even though they are playing a game have a so what kind of look on their face. Eventually, I guess they begin to realize this is it. Many seem depressed. My Mom was the only one excited about the game and chatting with everyone. I hope she keeps her spirit up and I will try to help. Taking my neighbor to see her today. Al has dementia or Alzheimer but calls everyday to ask how Mom is.
Come Get These Memories - of the Sixties
I loved to be round the older cousins and
listen to their conversations.
“Hey Patty, want to go to the boys camp
tonight?” asked Kathy.
“Why, you want to see that cute counselor
Kenny?” replied Patty”
“Maybe you’d like to find George over
there, huh, Patty? You seemed to be in a
pretty deep conversation with him the other night!” taunted Kathy.
“We were just talking” defended Patty.
“Not what I saw” said Kathy, turning the table
on Patty.
“I wouldn’t mind going and seeing if that
Bill is around” said Kate, Patty’s older sister.
“Ha! That Bill practically runs the place you
can’t get in any trouble with him around huh Kate?” said Kathy with a wink. They all laughed and agreed it would be a
good night to go.
Mauritania
i/mɔːrɪˈteɪniə/ (Arabic: موريتانيا Mūrītānyā; Berber: Muritanya or Agawej; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane; Pulaar: Moritani), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in the Maghreb region of western North Africa.[7][8][9] It is the eleventh largest country in Africa, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, by Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara in the north, by Algeria in the northeast, by Mali in the east and southeast, and by Senegal in the southwest.The country derives its name from the ancient Berber Kingdom of Mauretania, which existed from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, in the far north of modern-day Morocco. Approximately 90% of Mauritania's land is within the Sahara Desert and consequently the population is concentrated in the south, where precipitation is slightly higher than the rest of the country. The capital and largest city of Mauritania is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast, which is home to around one-third of the country's 3.5 million people. The government of Mauritania was overthrown on 6 August 2008, in a military coup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April 2009, General Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July elections, which he won.[10]
About 20% of Mauritanians live on less than US$1.25 per day.[11] Slavery in Mauritania has been called a major human rights issue, with roughly 4% (155,600 people) of the country's population – proportionally the highest for any country – being enslaved against their will, especially enemies of the government. Additional human rights concerns in Mauritania include female genital mutilation[12] and child labour. This looks more like a mission sight than a vacation spot.
Enjoy the day! Make it Memorable!
