Dorothy?

Christmas Last Year

It's crazy but ever since I actually turned fifty, I feel like Dorothy who woke up surrounded by pint size people and a house that crushed a wicked witch. Maybe youth is my "wicked witch" and it's time to put on my red shoes and hop onto this yellow coated (hopefully gold) brick road.

I know for the first time, in a long time, I've made a decision to regain my health. It has only taken thirty years, but I've finally learned that if you put trash in, you get trash out--just a little more compacted. I'm starting the Insanity tapes (sorry-dvd's reflection of my age)--they are named appropriately. I must be making progress because I actually hesitate now before I put something into my mouth.

My journey with Christ is becoming more defined as I age; I do wish I had started this earlier in my life. But like Alice with the looking glass; it's probably best I don't step through. Take things for what they are, knowing forgiveness has already covered the past, and His grace will take me through the future.

I plan on putting pictures on my blog; I love posts when they include a picture. Okay--goal number one is to learn how to upload (correct?) pictures onto posts.  No that is not Dorothy, it was the only picture I could figure out how to upload onto this post.  It's a start!

I changed my title; I was starting to feel like an older woman who sits around with a cup of tea and just thinks. I want to move! I want the Lord to lead me into new adventures maybe even picking up a few friends along the way.

So pack a few things for the trip and we will see what this year brings; maybe meet a few flying monkeys along the way!
