the "New" me

after learning that I have a pretty severe case of Osteoporosis of the spine, and with my wonderful Dr. saying "you will be that bent over old lady if we don't change this course", I need to make some lifestyle changes. I've already upped my calcium/vit.D intake, made a decision to join a gym for "real weight bearing exercise" and now waiting upon insurance to figure out what drug therapy they will cover, and awaiting my consultations with physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, etc. All this to declare to all of you women under 30 out there while you are still building bone density, eat more calcium and vit. D, for those over 30 do the same and get a bone density test and stand up straight!

May Reflections

David, Esther & Herbie @ Lovers Point

John, Angie, Jack & Cerys at the S.F. zoo

Ted and I loved having 2 dear and sweet English families stay with us in April . Our own Angie, John, Jack and Cerys and then David, Esther and Herbie Blount. There were many comings and goings by the other clan members as well, so the house was full, lively and usually somewhat chaotic :0) After all the happenings that April brought, May is distinctly quiet, (and foggy) reminding me of work I need to catch up on, a life I am called to and a longing for a deeper walk with the One who loves me most. I am going to make prayer and study of the Word a more definite priority as in the words of the Psalmist "delight in the law of the Lord and meditate day and night". I am so looking forward to the fruit He will develop in me. :0)
