March 24th

I have to tell you what happened to me........ I am on the Atkins Diet.... Being very very strict... so,this morning had to get up extra early, sent Joe off to work, fed the boys and decided to get a shower, shampoo my hair, put my face on and earrings... So I did.... and put on my sneakers....... so about 15 minutes ago, I took off the sneakers... did not want to walk on the carpet with dirty shoe bottoms... and put on my dress shoes.. the ones I have been wearing for months now.... guess what?????? The shoes were too big.....So, I put on another pair... smaller in size.... they fit... I totally forgot that my feet get big as I get bigger.... I must have lost some weight... in just a few days... probably water weight.. but never the less..... I fit into my 6 shoes.....! What a pleasant surprise....!!!!!!

I refuse to get on the scale yet, thought I would wait about a week.... who knew my shoes would be a clue to my loosing a little weight! Thank heavens for Dr. Atkins.....

I was laying in bed this morning about 4AM thinking of what I wanted to write.. It seemed so important then... for the moment I cannot remember for the life of me what it was.... I know it will hit me.. probably when I do not have a pencil and pad in hand...!!!!

Changing the subject...... I am heartsick about the violence against the congressmen who voted for the health care bill..... I don't mind when people disagree, but NOT in the violent way... No reason for that.... We are ALL Americans, just with different points of view..

I am especially proud of you young people... Like the 30 to 40 age bracket... You're educated, smart, have common sense. Mostly you take people for WHOM they are, not what race, religion, color, political affiliation or where they live.... You are our HOPE...For that Thank you
It sickens me to see men and women my age act they way they are acting now.... Why the guns ??? No one wants to take their guns away..... Why? We democrats did not act that way when we felt George Bush stole the election from Al Gore..... maybe we wanted to ..... but we did NOT..

People must realize you cannot have your way all the time.. it is called compromise.... and I think different opinions are great and healthy! We all have something to add..... At least I think so..

Pass along to others please that we must be civil to each other.... Why can't we be civil? I don't get it....

Enough lecturing for now... When I remember what I wanted to write at 4 AM.. I will write it for sure....

Wishing you all health, happiness and LOVE

Bye for now..... Liz
