Happy Fall and Pumkins...
A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?"
The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
God removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
This was passed onto me from a Pumpkin... now it's your turn to pass it onto other Pumpkins...

Until next time... GOD BLESS!!

A long Autumn Season
Good evening readers... oh boy... it's been almost two weeks since I wrote... that doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up... I have. After a long hard month of October, Breast Cancer Awareness month, I have had a bummer start to November with very close friend to wind up in our local Pallaitive Care unit and just recently passed away.
Back in March 2010 I had another very close friend to pass away from Breast Cancer too... both were reaccurances and they both were close friends to one another as well.
Back in 2004, a group of about 12 or 14 Breast Cancer survivors and their caregivers formed an "Adventures" group. Over the years, we all learned to Fly-fish together and went on several Fly fishing expediitions together. We got really adventurous and took several trips down to one of the Carribean islands several years in a row.
We have bonded tightly throughout the years and now three in the group have passed away in the last 18 months. We have heavy hearts to see our dear, dear friends pass on but they are all in such a better place, walking the streets of gold, healed, with no more illness, pain, suffering or the shedding of tears. We continue to take care of the loved ones left behind and try to get back on track with our lives.
So thats where I have been.
I haven't kept up with the food diary in a couple weeks due to being focused on my friend and her family.
Two sermons I heard recently were Hebrews 12:1-2 on Saturday November 13th at the funeral I attended and Luke 6:27-42 Sunday November 14th in church. Both are excellant.
*QAD: "Don't judge a book by its cover, you never know what story it has to tell, it might just surprise you".
Tidbit for the day: Before getting on a scale to weigh... do not fill up on water and its always best to weigh right after getting up in the morning time after going to the bathroom before having the first cup of coffee or tea.
I have found a website called BlogFrog... anyone out there hear of it?? BlogFrog is a free website to that hosts hundreds of communities of bloggers and thousands of topics to discuss and talk about. I am still in the process of researching BlogFrog but I'm getting ideas for my blog topics too... stay tuned.

Major Events
Good morning readers...
Did everyone celebrate or participate in Halloween??
My husband and I do not believe in Halloween, so therefore we do not celebrate or participate. Our tradition is to go out and have a nice meal...
For the past several weeks I have a ton on my mind and haven't been sleeping well... I've been finding myself off to bed between 7-8p and getting up around 5a... mind you my normal hrs are in bed by 8:30p and up by 6:30-7a... last night I was asleep by 7:30p up at 3:30a back to bed at 4:45a and back up again at 6:30a... I can not seem to get a hold on my regular routine or figure it out...
Well today is the Mid term election day... polls are open from 7a-7p... GET OUT AND VOTE...
QUOTES
I love quotes of all kinds...
*QAD: What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult... Sigmund Freud July 2006
"If you Bite it, Write it"... Friend - October 2010
"Get out and vote... For those who do not exercise their right to vote, have NO RIGHT to Complain" November 2010
