Twenty seven days and I am still here – keeping track and posting my food diary. I am making a little progress and building habits to carry me through the year.
I have been getting outside for some fresh air and a bit of exercise. I kicked that up a bit yesterday.
Dan and I walked Molly to the dogpark in the morning and we spent an hour watching her and her friends cavort, while we got some fresh air and socialized with the other humans.
In the afternoon, I drove our granddaughter Maddy to Walmart to grab a new pair of sneakers. She was in high spirits as she had just finished her finals from her first school semester and was confident that she would make the honor roll. She not only found her new sneakers, but had the funds left to pick up a couple of small things for herself and her younger sister Prim. We came back to the house and I made her favourite Toasted Bacon and Tomato Sandwich and grabbed a box of costume jewellery that I wanted to send over to Prim.

I always enjoy time spent with any of the grands and yesterday was no exception. They never fail to amuse me, enlighten me, and inspire me to be better. Whether it is your children, your grandchildren, or any young people that you have regular contact with…
YOUR CHILDREN WILL BECOME WHAT YOU ARE; SO BE WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO BE…
For better or worse that is the truth!
