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...

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!

Homemaking lessons

Back when I was growing up we all took Home Economics in High School; and we had Home-making lessons at church. We learned: Budgeting, sewing, cooking, taking care of children, cleaning house, etc. Some of our projects didn't turn out so well. In church we were taught that having children was the most important role of a woman until you had kids who looked like this: Some women have just given up and have given their kids this for dinner. And we've told the kids to clean up their own messes! We tell our lazy no good husbands to get a job for a change!
