Do you exercise your feet? Sit on the floor with your knees flexed. Crawl your toes back and forth, then lift your feet up and tap your toes down and then your heels. Do these a few times. Then lift your feet off the floor and tap them together to the right and then the left. Exercising your feet and ankles will help protect them when you misstep and turn your foot. Stay healthy!
Get Faith
Psalm 121 - I like this psalm. About God's goodness. " I Lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber: His goodness is unending.
On This Day
1967 - It was my fiancée's birthday he was 30. His parents had us over for dinner along with our friends Bill and Sandy and Ron and Gail. This is a great memory - probably because his Mom was Hungarian and a great! cook.
1967 - The U.S. Marine Corps launched Operation Buffalo in response to the North Vietnamese Army's efforts to seize the Marine base at Con Thien. Of course the news remembered this day was about the war.
Parenting
Don and I had a great evening and dinner last night with his cousins - John and Janice from California. Because we had never met before, we covered a lot of topics in our lives to catch up. They had lost their son in the Mideast war's not too many years ago. He was only 27. There are no words to cover the myriad of emotion you feel when someone tells you they have lost a child - grief, guilt, sorrow, compassion, anger - barely touch the thoughts you have. Fortunately their faith carries them along through life with the memories of the 27 years they had with their wonderful young man.
Come Get These Memories - of the Sixties
After Dad’s
death life seemed in an upheaval. I no
longer was Daddy’s girl. There was no
one to protect me from Mom if she went off on a tangent like she was prone to
do. She was a screamer. You would be watching television and she
would walk in screaming.
“Get up and clean up this room! I’m not the housemaid around here. I’m not cleaning up after you kids! I need help, you are a big girl now, you have
to help me”
I never knew where it came from or what
started it. She would maybe get
something in her head, maybe think she had been telling us to do it, but Adam
and I never saw it coming. Our house was
not dirty, but I wouldn’t say it was Good Housekeeping ready either. It was comfortable, until she thought it
needed to be cleaned. Then I found out,
it was my job to clean it. Adam would
just get steamed up and then leave. That
worked for him. Martin was too little he
was off the hook, but me? I was the
housemaid.
