Hope and Fun all in One Day!

Is this a hopeful color?  LOL  I was looking at all the colors looking for one that looked hopeful and this is the one that I chose.  When I think about it, this color really fits the topic I'm writing about because it's close to my skin tone.  I'll connect this in a second. 

I went to my water aerobics class today.  There wasn't as many women there today because the 4th of July is next week.  I guess some lucky people are taking the Friday and the Monday off and making it a real vacation.  After class, I talked to the instructor for a few minutes and asked her what I could expect as far as toning and firming up.  I explained that I had lost a lot of weight and I thought I might have to have surgery to get the results I wanted.  She told me to do the class 2 to 3 days a week for a year before deciding whether or not to have surgery.  She said I might really be surprised how much good the exercise would do and I may not need to do anything that hurts.  LOL Now wouldn't that be wonderful?  I would be so pleased and so would my savings account.  LOL  So you see, this color is skin color and we were talking about skin toning.... oh, well, it was a stretch, I know... forgive my silliness.

This is Megan's favorite color.  Her bedroom is painted two different colors of purple with a border of fairies separating the two.  Tonight we are going to dinner to celebrate her birthday and then going back to their house to watch the kids perform their new swimming tricks.  Every moment spent with them is a joy for me.  I can't wait! 

An update on my Aunt Helen.  Since she was transferred to a nursing home/rehab center she is getting physical therapy every day.  She still does not have much strength because she is hampered by the hip replacement.  She still needs help turning in bed, sitting up and she cannot get out of bed without the aid of the therapist.  Her spirits go from very good to in the pits which is understandable.  She is frustrated, scared, and feeling uncertain about what the future holds.  My Mom and her youngest sister, Ruth, drive to Denver from Laramie, Wyoming (about 2 1/2 hours north of Denver) every 10 days or so to see her and they call when they know my cousin, Vicki will be in the room to help with the telephone.  This is going to be a long road back and prayers are appreciated.

That's it for the moment so until later...............  ô..ô

I hope you can get the results from the water aerobics rather than resorting to surgery! I'm so glad your aunt is still doing well. Have a great weekend! Jeannette xx

I hope you get the results you need without surgery and I will remember that in prayer.
I think it's  a very hopeful color and tell Megan that my favorite color is purple! Mandy's is pink & purple....her bedroom here had white furniture, baby pink walls, lavender carpet, A black bedspread that had baby pink and lilac swirls through it, with matching poof valance over white blinds. She also had a border of fairies but her's was at the top of the wall and she had sponged silver stars all over her celing that glowed in the dark and a big paper type star lamp that hung from a hook over her bed. She collected dolls and had a room full of which she only took a few with her. It is all still up stairs just like she left it because I can't stand the thought of it not being there anymore.....even though Marv is ITCHING to turn it into an exercise room. Men!!!!!!!
Still praying for Aunt Helen.....God be with her.

Pooh Hugs,
Linda~
