Dawna you are such a continued inspiration with your working out and keeping with it. I'm restarting my program this week and want to make the progress you have. Funny I'm in a nutrition and health certification program and not even working out right now. Work days have been 14 hours lately and trying to do my schoolwork and take care of this new puppy just encourages me to forego the workouts. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Stefanie - Katie is right! My medical terminology class I'm doing right now said that very thing about using flashcards to learn the latin roots of words. It's how I passed my Microsoft Certifications on the first time as well which had never been done in the school before (this is not to boast because it was simply my ex husbands and daughters support and quizzing for hours on end night after night with those flash cards and their efforts is what gave me success not my own).

I've been so remiss about writing and posting lately. Many days lately I've just run out of hours before I have a chance to meet all my obligations let alone enjoy the peaceful joyful moments of connecting with my prayer sisters and coffee buddies.

This morning I enjoyed some wonderful coffee from Jolena, while dusting my beautiful frame with my deceased grand dad made by Deb and then adjusted the canvas made by Martica, dusted around the dress form also made by Martica, then reread my beautiful card from Linnny, readjusted my bird card from Kat and covered myself with my shawl made by Throws. These little things remind me of how truly blessed I am to have friends across the globe caring for me and praying for me. It's good to be alive!
