Could Be Better

A year end review?

Can't say that I've been taking very good care of myself. After being hospitalized in March in kidney failure, I really haven't made much progress toward quitting smoking or dropping the obese weight. I did quit for three weeks and lost twenty pounds directly afterwards, but my pathetic habits took me back to a careless lifestyle. I've not once gone to a website to help me see what I should and shouldn't do with regard to the kidneys. I just do take my blood pressure medication religiously. The least I can do.

Presently in a blue mood post-Christmas. Not all it's cracked up to be. I enjoyed singing in the Christmas Cantata. I'd like to sing more. I wish the church people would be more forthcoming; there's hardly ever any other occasion other than the official sit-downs for socialization. I'd ask to join the Praise Band, but would that fly?

My finances are at a bare minimum. The truck is good. The place is a mess. Ah, I'd rather go out (as I am now) than be there. I've made a friend in Jan Hunt. She's pushing 85! I like her and hope it'll make a difference with the lonliness.

Were I to make resolutions, yes, no smoking and diet. And commitment to The Lord.

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
    your justice like the great deep.

    You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

    Psalm 36: 5-6
