~Inspiration~

I want you to know that I feel special..and guess why?
Because of all of you that read this little bit of my world..
You say such sweet, nice, encouraging things to me that
make me feel so good. You tell me I am a inspiration...I
feel so special, that is such a good feeling. This IS so not
easy to do, but I do what I have to. I told a friend of mine
today, my dearest friend Twinks..well- Jo..Bless her heart..
she is going thru so much and I dont know how to really
help her. I cant go there, there is not much I can do as far
as physical stuff..my ways to help are I guess by just being
here, ready to listen, give my 2 cents of course. All I can
do is offer a hand. help pick her up..like she does me-its
like riding a seesaw, we take turns being up and down...:-)

I got such cute comments today via email and posts here
about comparing ingredients to so many things..but it is true.
You put the wrong combination of them together, well you
could cause some damage, to yourself or whatever those
ingredients go into, you dont use the right stuff your in trouble.
I like the RIGHT stuff :-)

I have been working for 3 days on this check book of mine..
I wonder if I am the only person in the world that CANNOT
balance a check book? Fooey..with the dribble of money I
keep in that thing you would think I would have NO trouble
to balance..Well WRONG.. I have gone back to January now
and added, re-added and done everything except KISS this
checkbook to PLEASE balance..and think this thing will go
along? haha sure it has..Those poor women at the bank
KNOW my voice when I call I call so much!!! lol..Well living on
a very strict budget you have to be very careful..nothing can
go to a overdraft..they charge $35.oo at my bank if you get
a over draft notice..So I am VERY careful. I think its just I go
brain dead and that darn Heimer keeps asking me to dance
all the time..lol :-) i WILL get it to balance..just take time..lol..
I KNOW I am the only one that cant balance one. .lol...

I slept so bad last night that I went out finally and crawled
up on my couch and laid there..with the back it worked as a
good support for me.. My couch was my mothers..I did manage
to salvage it from my destroyed belongings.. I had it cleaned
real good, and this is THE most comfy couch ever made..the
cushions even after storage of 3 yrs are strong and still firm like
the first day she got it.. Its a good one... my mom got this..hmm
i bet 25 yrs ago..I should look it up she kept records of every
thing...I should do that..she knew every dime she spent...and
on what and when and where she got what ever it was...Stanley
every time he comes over (brother in law) lays on it and goes
instantly asleep..says "Lois, you dont have to leave me a thing
when you die but PLEASE, leave me this couch, its the most
comfortable one i have ever laid on" and its true..it is a good one.
I'm just not happy with the colors, and its like that velvet, velour
material and unless I wear silk I stick to it when I am on it..I can
get on the couch quite easily, Stan put blocks under each leg..
sure makes it nice for me..when I had a tv in the living room many
times i would sit on the couch just to get out of my chair..I started
to fall asleep doing that so I moved my tv into the bedroom I
figured I might as well already be in bed when I fall asleep..I
only go into the living room now and sit if I have company. It
did help my back though. I guess I will have to let Raelynn flip
the mattress for me ..I worry tho be too hard for her..I try
but smattress for me I worry tho be too hard for her..I tried ..but
i just couldnt do it..maybe ill wait till my sis comes on saturday
and ask stan..I just hate putting it all back together and stuff
THATS the hard part for me anyway lol...

Speaking of flippin..I have some great fresh roast beef and
THE most delicious swiss cheese that will make a really great
grilled sandwich that I have to have.. lunch? well lets not go there
today..I have NO idea what it was..smelled awful ..Dutch ran from
it, and I KNOW this sandwich will taste 1000 times better..I am
a good cook you know they used the right ingredients on me lol..
but you knew that ..cuz I'm just SO GORGEOUS ;-) I had to say
that lol...nitey nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv Ya & thanks Bunches !!!
ALways, Lois****

May God Bless you today,
I'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Dear Lois,
    Ever thought of using a spread sheet program to keep tabs on your cheque book? That is what Management does. She finds it very useful. Not subject to Dr. Heimer, either!! lolol ;o)
    Jo is lucky, having such a good, good friend, bless you.
    Take care, hon, lots of love and hugs from
    Raife

    Comfy Coach used to be a segment on a tv show for children I used to watch with a 12 year-old autistic boy. It was one of those shows on our public tv network. I sleep on a Captain's bed and sleep well. If I doze off in front of the tv - I am on my comfy couch.

    I met Fred Rogers a couple of times and once watched him film a segment on elevators in a public building. He was surprisingly funny, noticeably respectful of the film crew, and did more than his share of the dirty work like cleaning up and carrying.

    Does your bank do electronic banking? Mine does, and has a feature to help you reconcile the bank's records with your own, including checks that have not hit the bank yet.
