I woke very early this morning, and as usual, needed a "treatment". However, before I reached for my nebulizer I noticed the sunrise and it was absoulutely breath-taking (no wonder I needed that treatment!)
I wanted so to stand and stare at it, however, my lungs refused to cooperate, but my oh my, how very lucky I was to see it...even if it was for just a minute or two.
It reminded me blessings are often like that...small and simple and so quiet we hardly even notice them.
Then I thought, if it were not for these persnicky lungs of mine, I might not have seen that sunrise at all....which only goes to show sometimes blessings are hardships in disguise!
I'll bet you found something beautiful in your day, too! Would you like to share?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
