The weekend

O.K. Sorry that once again the promised pictures did not get on here! This time I just ran out of time in my weekend. Friday night as I was arriving at the dance I found out I would be working not from noon to 5pm but from 8am to 5pm on Saturday. In essence that took away my free time for messing about on the computer and trying to get the pictures on here Saturday. Thought I might have time this morning before church but I had a slow moving morning not sure why but everything seemed to take twice as long to accomplish this morning! In reality the time this weekend was used up quickly and pictures got shoved to the bottom of the list so did not get done- again!
There has been no walking tracker this week because I have been doing other exercise things like dancing and weight lifting so I am trying to figure out how to track those and because of an extremely busy week all the walking I got done was the obligatory half hour every day. So just to report I did walk 210 minutes this week. Went dancing on Friday and if you strung out all the dancing I did it amounted to about 60 minutes of dancing. Weights..hmm... not sure how to even report weights but did do weights on two days.
This morning I put on a skirt that did not fit me a month ago. By did not fit I mean I could not zip it up at all a month ago. Today I wore it to church with a top that, while it fit, was uncomfortably tight a month ago and today it was fitting nicely.

I love the little things that are happening to let me know things are working.

The chairs that are more comfortable.
The cloths that fit or are loose.
The lack of pain and discomfort.

Tonight I went to a fireside down in Friendswood (which is south of Houston). The speaker was an LDS author who spoke on talents both recognizing and developing our talents. Got me to thinking about working a bit harder on developing some of my talents and on working to develop some of the talents I wish I had. I may never be a singer of note but I would like to be able to sing better. My family would probably say "better? Don't you mean at all?!?!" But I know something about singing and my abilities to do so and I believe I can learn to do better. I also would like to learn to conduct music at least the basic church hymns and to play a couple of hymns on the piano. Away from the music arena of talents I realized that I really need to be writing more. I have a million and one poems and short stories that go through my brain that I need to take the time to catch and develop them. Also I need to practice my writing skills. But on top of that I need to share those things with those around me. I have always wanted to be a writer and a speaker and even if it never does anything in the way of money for me I need to share my talent with others and not hide it under a bushel
