It's Spring, It's Snowing, and Other Things

Even though last Thursday was the first official day of spring, just four days later as I write at my sisters it is snowing outside at dusk. You've just got to love our state's wacky weather! One of my favorite seasons is springtime. Mainly because of the real meaning of Easter and the message of new life for Christians.

As a whole family, we need your prayers. My sister's husband (Grant) was diagnosed with cancer last year. My husband's aunt (Beth) was diagnosed with cancer about a week ago. Having these things affect your family in both a positive and negative way. The positive things that have come out of it is the reality that time with family is priceless, seeing the good instead of the bad, and it even has caused me to have a physical today. The doctor was concerned about my elevated blood pressure and weight gain among other things. I guess you could say that is one of the negatives. I will not go into great detail about the other negatives.

My future healthful living goals are to drink more water instead of Pepsi, and to start back walking the driveway after a long cold winter of not being able to. Why do I walk the driveway you might ask? Mainly because it's free and I have no excuse of the gym was to busy or gas prices are to expensive, etc. My favorite thing to listen to on my iPod is the song by Point of Grace about Walking with Jesus. I cannot wait for the weather to cooperate.
