It's that time again!!!!!!
Now I know you are wondering what is he talking about? Well, I am talking about losing weight, what else!!!!!!!
I just thought i'd blog about the new me and the transformation that I intend to come about. I hope this is not boring for you, but then this blog is not just for you, it is for me also. I will not tell you the starting weight, that's just too revealing, but I will tell you the goal. The goal is to lose 70 pounds.
WOW, you say. Well, yes, me too. I said, HOLY CRAP!!! I weigh what? You have to be stinking kidding me!!!!!!!
Well, as they say in the weight watchers and biggest losers world, "the scales don't lie".
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!
Okay, so. There you have it. My new life. Counting points and getting moving.
So I will check in weekly and give you an update so that I have a record of my loss and also I'll have a you to slap my hand and keep me on track.
TATA for now, until next week!!!!!

Lord, Just Take Me
Sitting in Granny's room, sitting by the bedside, it's intersting of the transformation that is taking place. We've all said it. We've all said, "Lord, just take me, take me today, I'm ready".
Are we? I sat by my Dadddy's bedside 'til his dieing breath, and today I sit by Granny's. We are here saying, she's ready, Lord, just take her and let her rest in your arms. At times when someone comes in Granny seems to know that someone new has come to see her, and I wonder if she is waiting on that someone that hasn't come. We tell her every time someone calls.
All of you who are not here, I write this to inform you , not to pour guilt on you. We can't all be here. You saw the numbers the other day. There are 123 of us directly kin to this wonderful woman, and that's just on Mamma and Aunt Del Rae's side of the family. That's not counting all of the numerous Phipp's that spread the globe. We love you all and she does too. You can't all be here, it just isn't physically possible.
I sit in her room and think of all the times that someone hangs on to life for as long as possible. Why is that? Why do we do that? While we are alive and well and things get tough we ask the Lord to take us, so we don't have to deal with all the stresses that life throws at us. However, when I see someone in the condition that Granny is in and the condition that Daddy was in, I think that they just find it hard to leave us.
It must be harder to leave than we think. It must be hard to leave the children, the grand children, the great gandchildren and the great great grandchildren, the nephews, neices, and grand nephes and neices, the in-laws, and the friends. Love is powerful. Love speaks profoundly, when you ask, "Why doesn't she just go?" Even when she knows she is tired, she knows she has the permission from we who she is leaving behind, it is hard to let go.
I'm of a mind that it is not that easy to leave this world and enter the spirit world. As awesome as it may seem, it's hard to leave the ones you love behind. We won't know until it's our turn. It makes us understand the scriptures even better when He tells us to let our light shine daily.
Granny, it's okay, we love you and again we say, it's okay to go and be with our Lord and wait for us there. We'll miss you, but we can't wait to see your smiling face again. It just gives us one more reason to live the life that is intended so that we can get that chance to be with you and others who have passed on before us.
Good bye Granny, Love you

Blessed
I have a former boss who when asked how he is always says "Blessed".
Blessed, just what does that mean? And what does that say about him? I have always just answered "Fine". Or worse, I have been known to say something like, "you don't really have time" . Of course meaning, if you really mean it when you ask how I am then you really don't have time probably for me to answer you because it would take a while to get all of the griping out that I really want to impale upon you at this very moment.
So, what kind of person does it take to always be Blessed?
I thought of this at length today, because he called me to see how I was doing and just randomly checking on me, and quite honestly, I can't remember what I said. I think I said the patented "Fine" of which is somewhat true. I am fine, but along with "fine" am I not Blessed also?
We are blessed daily in all that we do and in all that happens along the way. I have been so blessed this last couple of months that I can't even begin to relate it in words.
I asked him of course, "And, how are you?" and I am certain it was not a patented response of "Blessed".
BLESSED
Aren't we all blessed?
We tend to dwell on the bad things in our lives. We tend to dwell on all the negatives in our lives. I could go on and on about all the blah blah blah blah blah......are you already asleep from hearing it? Nobody wants to hear all the "STUFF" that's been going on unless you are willing to let them have a say in how you fix them .....Honestly do you really want help in where you are or do you just want to whine about it?
I propose that we are Blessed.
BLESSED
Yes, if I can remember, the next time someone asks me how I am, I will say "Blessed" and MEAN IT!!!!!!!
