Question

To anyone who reads my blog, can you answer a question for me.  If I am supporting you am I undermining what you are saying or meaning?  To me if I am supporting you that is what it means. I am agreeing with you, I am standing with you. How can it be that I am undermining what you said?  I don't understand.

End of July

Wow where did the year go let alone July,  as someone said the older you get the faster the days go which make the year go faster too. Back to the sunshine of summer, but the weekend of rain did help with the forest fires situation. Thank God for that.
Has anyone bought the Chicken Soup for the Soul Inspiration for Nurses?  I hope you have and are enjoying the stories in it.  Like all Chicken Soup books it is a good one.
I hope everyone who is going away camping this weekend remembers to be careful with fire of any kind including cigarettes. Just have a wonderful weekend and come home safe.

Rain yeehaa

How many of us remember the little rhyme rain, rain go away and come again another day. Well today Vancouver and any other part of British Columbia that is getting rain isn't saying that right now.  What we are saying is rain, rain come today and last a few more days.  The forest fire fighters need it, the gardens of Vancouver need it.  The reservoirs need it to replenish the water that they held. My rhubarb leaves are curled like a funnel to catch the rain so it runs down the stem to the ground below.
Thank God for answered prayers. It is not showering it is raining and looks like the rain we should have had in the winter but didn't get.

Wednesday 22

Today is a big day in family birthdays. My step-son's and grandson's birthday is today, a friend's son has his birthday to day and one of Ken's daughter has a birthday today.  I wish them all a great birthday, no matter what they do today.  I do know from his brother my grandson is getting his drivers licence today and his father is working.
Yesterday was a great and stressful day for me.  Chicken Soup for the Soul, Inspiration for Nurses came out and I also had a colonoscopy.  This time I was awake and could have watched the video but my eyes were closed as there was some pain.  I didn't expect to be awake. The last one I had I was put out.  Oh well different doctors do things differently.
Anyone who purchase the Chicken Soup book, and lives in the lower mainland can come to Unity In Action at Edinburgh and 17th in New Westminster and I will sign it for them. I've sold the 10 copies, well didn't sell them all as I gave a few away and there is a couple at the church.

She's Fit

I got a complement for going regularly to the gym, I thought I would quit as I'm going alone and it is  hard to get out  to go when I could be doing this or some other thing. But now I'm going to make an effort to go. That staff member gave me a boost that I needed. Thanks, oh darn I didn't get her name.
Don't know if it is helping me or not but once I get there I glad I'm there.

Health, love and prosperity

Those are three things that mean a lot to me but God as my source is the most important.  When I put God first everything comes to me in mega ways. I'm so happy to have finally seen my Chicken Soup for the Soul story in print.  I've been asked about it before it came out and I didn't want to give it away.  I wonder if that lady is still alive and if she is remembers saying those words to me.  Or her family.  I was so glad to see that woman walk out of a care home that she had come into in a vegetate state.  Why and how she was diagnosed that way was and is a mystery to me.  I hope anyone that reads this buys the book to find out just what I am talking about.  Bless you and I hope you enjoyed a long and happy life after walking out of that care home. I will never forget you.

Water

The forests and the earth of B.C need the rain, it needs water. I'm water logged.  I've been drinking 3 pop bottles of water a day and sometimes 3 and a half.  But I need it because this heat is causing me to contain fluid in my extremities. My legs and hands keep filling with fluid.  You would think I should reduce my water intake but my acupuncturist says to increase so I urinate more to take more excess fluid out.
Oh yea I get my 10 Chicken Soup for the Soul tomorrow night.  They came to Ken's cousin's U.S mail box and he and his wife are coming for dinner tomorrow night.  Will have a few at Unity In Action Sunday.

Wonderful weekend

Oh yes Perry was wonderful, sorry for those who couldn't make it, you missed a wonderful evening and also a baked potato with all and I mean all the trimmings.  Maybe the next time, I will be sure to let everyone know when where he is performing again.
This smoke is getting to me, I hope it is blown away or rained on and the fires go out all over the province and Washington State.  We need water, rain water for about a week then we just might be able to get through the summer with out burning up the province.  

Perry Dickison

We're going to the Columbia theater in New Westminster tonight to see a dear friend perform.  Anyone who wants to enjoy an evening of song and piano music come and enjoy.  Perry Dickison will be performing at the Columbia, across the street from the Columbia Skytrain Station in New Westminster tonight at 7:30 doors open at 7PM and price is $20.00.  Hope to see those of you who read this there.

I'm hot

I'm hot, I want some relief, asap.  Vancouver has had 28 days of sunshine and growing temperatures in June, didn't count May but there was about as many.  July looks to be going in the same way.  I want rain.  I want cooler weather.  I want to go where there is some cool air.  I know down south, way down south on the other side of the equator.  Too much money or darn I can't go.  Should be spending time and sleeping in the basement, cooler down there than on the main floor. If it wasn't for the grape vine which hangs down over the south side of the house and gives some shade it would be hotter.
Yesterday in the house it was 87F cooled down to 84F when we went to bed. Out side the thermometer is in Celsius and it was 34C in the shade.  The temperature at Vancouver Airport broke a record from 1942 of 32C.  I want some cooler weather but may have to wait until fall when it will start to cool down naturally.

July 1 2015

Wow, half the year is  gone. If the last half goes as fast as the first half it will be Christmas before we know it, then the new year will be upon us.
I hope everyone has a great Dominion Day, I'm an oldie, I grew up with Dominion (of Canada) Day. I know now they have changed it to just Canada Day. Okay I'll go along with that and I am proud to be Canadian.  A number of years ago my late husband and I went to the Ukraine and were were treated very well because we were Canadians.  They liked, at that time, Canadians.
Try to keep cool, but with this weather it maybe a little difficult, go swimming, that will cool you off. Too bad I'm not near the water.
I feel for the people of Nelson B.C. they are cleaning up after a very bad storm that uprooted trees and made a mess of the beautiful and well used Lakeside Park. I pray and and am glad there was no mention of anyone being hurt.
