My mother has always told me this, as told to her but her mother, Adelaide - "If you're gonna stay, shut up, if you're gonna leave, shut up. Either way, just shut up and do what you are gonna do." My grandmother never mixed words. Now that's some food for thought lol

One Day at a Time
I receive emails from Joyce Meyer on a regular basis. A couple of days ago, I received one that contained one of her teachings on Power Thoughts. So I am listening and making notes and she says something that is profound to me, even though I know I have heard it a gazillion times in…
Do It Alone
Yesterday, Moo and I worked out a bit harder than we anticipated. Then I worked, ran errands, cooked dinner, and so on. I was still hurting from the workout, so I took 2 aleve and went to sleep. Of course, because this is KP's world, I woke up late. I woke Moo up and told…
A Kinder, Gentler KP
When Moo and I got outside this morning, I announce that we are starting our version of interval training this week. Moo seemd excited, so off we go, jogging a while, walking a while....during one of our walking episodes, Moo tells me that he really needs to burn some calories today, because he had some…
Getting My Own Way
I woke up and heard "Go walking today", so off I went. I decided to walk to the gas station at the end of the main street I live off of. Moo and I had discussed walking that way, so I thought now is as good a time as any to find out how far…
The Little Things….
I did my usual this morning. I woke up, but laid in bed for a few minutes. I do this mind game thing where I try to guess what time of morning it is by turning over and looking through the blinds in my room. I know, it would be easier to just look at…

A New Route
This morning Moo suggested we walk a new route. I told him that I had mapped out a new route on Nike.com, so we decided to walk that route. When we got to the main street, traffic was a bit heavy,(yes, even in the country, traffic can be heavy lol) so we decided to cross…
Crabs and Pearls
I will readily admit that I did not want to get up and walk this morning. I lie in bed for a while, thinking of all the reasons why I shouldn't go walking this morning, satisfied with my one - woman pity party...and having a great time lol...Well, I decided to go ahead and get…
Stop Running and Find Some Shade
Last week, Moo and I were walking and he was doing very well. As a matter of fact, he was walking ahead of me at a steady pace. It was very hot that morning, and we were sweating profusely. But when we got to the back street of our little neighborhood, there were rows of…
