Easter and the following week seemed to vacuum my time from any outside activities! Between Joey's rehearsals and performances and our granddaughter's first birthday party, we spent hours on the road. I love driving my little car, it's a 93 Subaru Loyale sedan. In my favorite teal color and the seat and wheel fits my body perfectly. While all my friends driving SUV's are having to do serious readjustments of their budgets to afford gas, I have had to give up one cup of coffee a week and since I decided to switch to tea and water, it has had no impact on my budget! We drove through beautiful farm and forest land with a view of Mt. St. Helen's and then went to the coast of Oregon. I became aware of how rich I am. I have views that people budget their entire vacation funds to come and see. I daily walk through green spaces rather than cement and asphalt paths. I have neighbors who even though they may not like my farming in the backyard of a city lot, still stop and visit and smell my lilacs.
I am investigating ways of working from home. Not through the online scams but with spending more time working on my books and self publishing them as well as some other friends works. We are looking at mainly ebook production. I am also preparing to totally redo my web site and everything concerning the Holiday Grand Plan. I am studying at the feet of the masters. Napolean Hill, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Wayne Dyer and God. I am finding the greatest words of wisdom in the Bible and writing by people who have found a deep relationship with our Eternal Father, Creator and Redeemer.
I am also looking at how to improve my health and body. After investigating my body type I have decided to use the Apple Patch Diet, not as much for the weight loss properties as for the constant reminder that the patch will give me to think about my food choices. It will remind me that I can have any food I desire as long as I eat in moderation. I have started walking on my breaks. I can get half an hour of relaxing exercise, get my heart rate up and avoid negative conversations without taking away any of the rest of my day.
At home I have restarted my home clear out. 5 boxes of papers down 8 more to go. Why did I have to chose paper to be my first clear out?!!! I am also getting rid of clothes, anything that makes me feel dumpy or drab. I am pulling out my good dress suits and realizing that I am within an inch of fitting in to several of them again. I barely believed that just thinking of being trim, healthy and energetic creates this, but it does. It doesn't need a gigantic belief system. Just that still calm thought that God will provide if I will just ask and allow the universe to act.

Hey, "cousin" Katie. I saw your post in 2005 on RootsWeb and ancestry.com. Yep - we're related. I have your mum in my Legacy list and also show that Lucy and Edwin also adopted a Beatrice.
I can be reached at winema@adelphia.net and have tons of info on the Merrills, Hamiltons, and Drinkwaters.
