A New Year

Well a New Year is here and can't believe another year is upon us.  I had a pretty nice Christmas this year and was given many gifts I didn't expect. 

Such as a blouse and cookies left on my doorstep from "Santa Claus" and two books by Brother Pontius "Visions of Glory" and a book he'd written before he died of cancer in December 2012.  And the meat.  This was from my home-teacher and his wife.  Brother Rich has been so good to me and his wife too.  Left a bunch of food on my porch this past year too. 

I feel blessed to be part of the LDS church.  The Lord does watch out over his sheep in these last days. 

Sissy is doing fine and is fat and sassy.  I don't think I could love a cat more than I do this one.

My family have kind of forgotten me and sometimes it really hurts.  My sister Carolyn had Open Heart Surgery in November and I guess it was pretty serious.  It took about 5 hours for the surgery but she is still with us. 

My goals for this year are basically the same:

Food Storage

Going to the temple & scripture reading

Doing family history work

Getting more exercise and losing more weight

Fat women in America

I know being overweight or obese is unhealthy for us. I've been overweight for sometime now but not nearly as heavy as these poor ladies. I think being overweight is more of an "emotional" issue rather than just genetics or poor eating habits or not enough exercise. When I was in high school I was always told I was too fat and I weighed appromately 140-150 pounds and at almost 5 feet 7 inches tall that wasn't fat at all. I think the abuse of family members and my ex-husband and boyfriends caused me to gain weight more than anything. When you are beaten with a belt by a brother it causes emotional issues. When your sister screams at you all night long she hopes you become a prostitute when you are just 19 it causes emotional issues. Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano

When you don't have your perfect ever after

When I first joined the LDS church in 1971 I could have had that perfect Mormon wedding. The one where you found Mr. Right and got to marry in an LDS temple and live happily ever. But life never turns out like the way we wish. Some of our prince charmings are killed in war and never come back. They die way before their time and never come back to take you to proms, to dances, or to even kiss you on the cheek. You have to go to proms with absolute mental retards that leave you stranded at the prom. When you do get married it's to someone who is mentally challenged. This is where you stay on your honeymoon. Your kids make big messes in the kitchen. You get super fat. Your husband yells at you to clean the house, even!  He tells you the house is a stinking mess! You find yourself divorced and hom

More and more homeless families and children in America yet President Trumps cuts foodstamps

I guess homeless families, and children, and growing poverty in America doesn't concern a billionaire president who just recently cut foodstamps for America's poor. One out of five children in America today are homeless and hungry yet the richest president in America's history has cut foodstamps more than 1/2 for the nation's poor. And most of them are children. Funny how our government can build new missles, new ships, build a Berlin wall, and help the refugees all across America and yet allow America's most vunerable to go hungy. Shame on you Donald Trump, shame on you!
