Happy ducks.

Jan 12, 2017

It is raining, really, again.  I am so glad that I was able to go to the pool yesterday.  It was a little cool until I got in, and because it was heated, it was nice.  I took my towel out of my beach bag, where I had my clothes, and put it by the hot tub so it would be handy when I came out, then I could go straight to the shower and change clothes.  Well, I went to the shower after the hot tub and was merrily washing my hair.  Right in the middle, I realized, "I don't have my towel!" It was still by the hot tub (with a man in it).  OK what to do?

Use paper towels? Then I remembered that I had a Kaftan cover-up that I wore over my swimsuit, so I threw it on with my hair still soapy and ran out and got my towel.  Can you picture it? Thank God, it was almost dark, so I don't know the man's perspective but I didn't stay long enough to find out.  I find that at age 74, I don't get as embarrassed, as I used, to over stuff, it is just funny.

I met some more wonderful people at the pool.  One man was with his 15 year old son and 4 year old Grand Daughter.  He and his wife had been full time RVing for 10 years and home schooling their children.  They were Christians and his wife had MS. 

After my swim I went to Bible Study.  I am glad I took my Bible because I was the only one there, and I got a chance to do some reading on my own.

After Bible Study, I listened to the Shaklee call I missed on Monday (because I couldn't get the internet).  God takes care of me!

Charlene was very good and practical.

Some of the things she said:

·        Commit to personal development, a lifetime of learning.

·        No one thinks about you, as much as you do. (others aren't paying that much attention to you, they are on themselves)

·        Her job is to "craft lives that matter to others".

·        How can I step out of my box and AMAZE myself?

She is a Lifetime Master Coordinator in Shaklee and the money she earns is well over six figures.  She is a Missionary (paying her own way) to help restore Women in third world Countries to a better life from slavery and trafficking.

This morning I heard from two of my newly adopted Grandchildren.  What a blessing!  The first one was sick and I got to pray for her (food poisoning I think).  The other was my Grandson in Las Vegas (the one that went to church with me).  He has been working double shifts and overtime for two weeks straight and was exhausted.  He was able to get a better apartment and paid cash for a car.  He figured out his finances and had been saving up for some time.  He paid to have a mechanic check out the car and will pick it up tomorrow. Pretty good for a 20 something, year old! 

He also said he was real hungry one day, he got 3 burritos from Taco Bell, after he got them, he saw a homeless couple asleep at a table in the back.  He gently tried to wake them up, but they were knocked out.  He left two of the burritos on their table for them.   Way to go Grandson!

His first trip with his car is to Long Beach to surprise his Mother and family, since he wasn't able to go for Christmas.  He already has their gifts and he also said he may stop and see me. Me?, Wow, it is about an hour drive from Long Beach.  He wants to take me out to a nice place to eat. 

He asked me if I had met any nice guys.  Were you wondering that too?  Well, if so, this is what I texted him.  "Ha,Ha, Jesus will do just fine, for now.  I am not looking, they will have to find me, and then go through a lot.  I am very picky, after Jesus. They would have to measure up!".  He texted me back and said, "Yes Ma'am, ha ha, that's what your Grandson wants to hear."  Sweet guy!

It is still raining and I can hear it on the roof! Yeaaa!  (5 hours so far)..  Everything here is gravel or pavement, so no mud. just some puddles, ducks are happy..
