Because of my job, I have a whole week off for Thanksgiving. This is great! Of course, I will probably squander it as I am normally too lazy for anything else. Okay, that's not really true. I have a goal this week. Well, the goal is going to take more than a week, but I'm going to get started this week. I want to make a quilt, so I have bought a "Teach me to quilt" book written for preteens and am going to start at the beginning with a small project. Maybe by the time I get to my summer vacation, I can start on a real quilt. I really want to make one, but I don't know for who. I find my projects sort of start like that and by the time they are done, I have been guided(?) as to who they are to go to. I made a prayer shawl once and as it happened, by sis in law was ill at the time I finished it, so I sent it to her. I guess when things are ment to be, they just fall in to place.
Well, I went for my 20 minute walk yesterday! I've even managed to start dragging my mom along. So, now I have two projects to get anybody who reads this updated on. My training for the Race for the Cure and my quilting.

Life Today
I have found myself listening to the Christian radio station lately. Oddly, it's comforting. I've been away from the Church for so long, I don't really know if I could find my way back. I know that God and His Son are all forgiving, but you have to ask for it first, and I'm not sure that I'm truly ready for that. I think it has more to do with not being able to reconcil within myself than asking God to forgive what I have done.
Anyway, that's my story for today. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a different outlook. Today, I have plans...sort of...thought I would cook a small Thanksgiving type dinner for my mom and dad and son...they are all abandoning me for the holiday this year. Then, it's my day for a 20 minute walk! I know it sounds petty, but I'm in training to do the Race for the Cure in April. My brother, who I trust beyond all others to guide me in all matters fittness related, has instructed me to start out by walking 20 minutes every other day. He promises me that I will be ready in April if I follow this path...eventually, I will start to walk for 15 and run for 5 and work up from there. :)
I'll keep you posted on how it's going.
