November 8, 2016 Tuesday #get moving#helpothers#driverstraining#recount#anotherwriter!

Get Fit
Needed to boost the energy so who else but Richard Simmons and some Disco.  It is truly amazing how moving around for at least 10 minutes or more will reenergize you!  If you think you are too tired to exercise - you need to rethink that!

Get Faith
Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."  Love thy neighbor!  I believe all the people I know reach out to someone else in aid on a regular basis.  Maybe you give food to the food bank, send a check to the Vets or a food kitchen or drive your neighbor to a dr appointment.  Giving isn't just for the person receiving the gift.

On this day
2000  Nicole was 15, so on top of her already busy high school schedule she had basketball practice and drivers training.  Her and Laura were taking it together, not a surprise, I believe they pretty much ran the school.  The instructor was the Physical Education director who kept an eye on Nicole and all the sports she played in and fell victim to a lot of her pranks.  We were blessed with many supportive and caring teachers and leaders during her childhood.  RIP Don F.

2000 - In Florida, a statewide recount began to decide the winner of the 2000 U.S. presidential election. Remember this?  Get ready for a repeat!

This is a definite pattern!    Must be something in the water there!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
