Yesterday afternoon, a girlfriend stopped to see me. She asked me if I had been losing weight. I must say, that sure made me feel good. Hearing someone ask, it is such a pick up. I sure don’t see any change. We started writing a book about 6 months ago, but she has had things come up in here life that has caused us to put it on hold. I know God has a time and place for everything so figure we’ll get it finished in due time.
Reflecting back on my college days, I was living 85 miles from my home town. I met Deb my first day of college at my first class. I told her I thought she looked familiar. When she told me her name, I couldn’t believe it, she was from my hometown and I had remembered her. (I didn’t start college until I was 28) That was her first day of college as well. That was the beginning of our friendship. We went all the way through and got our Masters Degree in Health Sciences. We even did our internships at the same place and did our thesis together.
After completing all that, our lives lead us in different directions for about 12 years and we lost contact with each other. God has put us back in each other’s path. I believe it was for the purpose of writing this book. It is going to be a Christian based parents guide to helping their children who abuse alcohol and drugs. We have too many kids getting caught up in these things and parents don’t know how to deal with it, often turning a blind eye.
I guess I better get moving here. I can’t build muscle or lose weight sitting here…..heading off to the gym. I’m going to grab my pedometer and my Propel water and head for the door. I’m hoping everyone has a great day.
