Obedience

Obedience.   This word keeps popping up.   Everywhere.   First it was my right foot.   Two years ago, and mind you, I may have mentioned this in a prior post and if I did, it’s okay, just hop on and you’ll catch up, I was showing my husband this cool move my trainer had showed me.   Now before you start thinking “Great, she has a personal trainer”…I don’t.    I did, for about two months.   And it was a love/hate relationship.   Probably the MOST love/hate relationship ever.   It was the most dreaded ten minute drive ever but when you had paid what I thought was exorbitant, which it was a great deal but still a lot to me, you want to make sure you get your hours’ worth.   Anyone want to say AMEN to that?     I really wanted some accountability about my exercises and I needed it.   And I did enjoy it when I finished working out.   Before, I was all over the place with the way I was exercising, the length of time and I was justifying everything I was doing and just feeling fine ab

Yes, I'm continuing with my BLOG about Perseverance, Preservation and Patience. I really enjoy the definition of preservation above, highlighted, "upholding of something intangible intact." That is a really great way of defining the way I love my parents. There is no word for the amount of love, honor and respect I have for my earthly parents.  Our generation grew up with more fear and respect where the divorce rate was much lower so more households were intact, or least that was my percepti
