October 6, 2018 Saturday #Great things#C'mon#baking cookies!#Illinois

Get Faith
Joel 2:20 " Surely he has done great things."  I can't count the great things He has done for me.  It would have to start with giving me my daughter and continuing to bless me with who she is.  My life has been a great mixture of ups and downs.  I suppose if you are going to have a life at least mine has been entertaining.  AND He has watched over me through it all, that to me is great.  Creation comes to mind.  What is on your list of the great things he has done?

Get Fit
I went to the Daily Dozen today.  Good stretching and strength training.  What did you do?  C'mon I'm trying to energize you!

On this day
2011  I was still fighting health issues from this year and left work early to go to a doctor's appointment.  When I got home Mom had been baking cookies.  There is nothing more uplifting then to come in from a chilly fall day into a house that smells of fresh baked cookies...

Illinois (/ˌɪlɪˈnɔɪ/ (About this sound listen) IL-ih-NOY) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is the 6th-most populous U.S. state and 25th-largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire United States.[7] With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in northern and central Illinois, and natural resources such as coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base, and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports around the world from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean; as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois Waterway on the Illinois River. The Mississippi River, the Ohio River, and the Wabash River form parts of the boundaries of Illinois. For decades, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms[7] and politics.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
Happy Birthday Diane, Katie, Kay and Aimee!
