The Big Old Fat Old Lady

One day the big old fat old lady decided she needed some exercise. So she said to herself, "I can do it." But she was big and she was fat! (laughter here please.) So this lady began her walk. The hill went down; the road was flat. The other walkers out said "Hi!" She turned the corner slowly becasue she was big and she was fat. Across the way she saw a young boy jogging. "I wonder if I know that boy" she thought to herself. But she is big and she is fat and when she took her eyes off the sidewalk she tripped over a crack. SMACK! "Wow! This stings and I have a cramp in my leg." She agonized. "Can I get up?" The big old fat old lady reached out and put her hands on the grass. She was big and she was fat. "Can I get up?" she wondered one more tme. One push two pushes!"There I did it," she said. And so the big old fat old lady limped home wondering why she even tried to exercise.

This is precisely why I need to walk every day. I tripped over the crack in the
sidewalk and If I had a camera I would show you the scraped knees and hands. That was this morning at 8 something. The rest of the day was down hill from that. My list didn't get accomplished but I did some things not on the list.
I did pray and read the Bible today. The devotional today was perfect for me. You can't go back again but you can go on and walk closer with God.
I did half the laundry.
I went to CVS and bought band aids and gauze and medicine.
I went to the library and got some new books.
Then I slept all afternoon!
A friend stopped by and brought me some dinner. ( I couldn't eat it though because it had too much pasta.) However, it is the thought that counts, right?
Another friend came by and we drove around Oxford delivering things to her students. We walked around Miami and named the trees we saw.
So it was a good day. Not the planned one but a good one.
