Work out with weights today! Show off those muscles!
Get Faith
Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint." This is my mantra this year and today it shows up in my Bible Devotional. It is like a good friend to me now, reassuring. Be one of those who hope in the Lord - let Him help you soar, run and walk. Do not sit and wait to feel better. This is like a message to get motivated in living!
On this day
1987 Nicole was a two year old and I was home loving every minute of it. Mom had moved into her home in Eastpointe and we were still painting. I did the bathroom on this day while Mom played with her grand daughter. We stopped by the boat store on our way home to see Grandpa. When we got home I raked leaves and cut the lawn, then made dinner did some laundry and bathed Nicole befor putting her to bed. Then I ironed. I turned 40 this year and it appears I was trying to prove something.
1792 - The French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy. Wow! Down with the king!
Fresno
The "West Side" of Fresno, also often called "Southwest Fresno", is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The neighborhood lies southwest of the 99 freeway (which divides it from Downtown Fresno), west of the 41 freeway and south of Nielsen Ave (or the newly constructed 180 Freeway), and extends to the city limits to the west and south. The neighborhood is traditionally considered to be the center of Fresno's African-American community. It is culturally diverse and also includes significant Mexican-American and Asian-American (principally Hmong or Laotian) populations.
The neighborhood includes Kearney Boulevard, named after early 20th century entrepreneur and millionaire M. Theo Kearney, which extends from Fresno Street in Southwest Fresno about 20 mi (32 km) west to Kerman, California. A small, two-lane rural road for most of its length, Kearney Boulevard is lined with tall palm trees. The roughly half-mile stretch of Kearney Boulevard between Fresno Street and Thorne Ave was at one time the preferred neighborhood for Fresno's elite African-American families. Another section, Brookhaven, on the southern edge of the West Side south of Jensen and west of Elm, was given the name by the Fresno City Council in an effort to revitalize the neighborhood's image. The isolated subdivision was for years known as the "Dogg Pound" in reference to a local gang, and as of late 2008 was still known for high levels of violent crime. Every city has "that" neighborhood.
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Paradise!
