ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2025

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is National Women's Health and Fitness Day which promotes the largest event for women’s health of all ages.

Across the country, an estimated 80,000 women of all ages gather at health and fitness events.  From senior centers to hospitals, women of all levels of fitness encourage each other to begin or continue a health journey.  

The day inspires many forms of exercise and supplies informational seminars and clinics.  Screenings provide a way to track fitness levels and help us get back on track.  Developing our physical strength along with mental confidence goes a long way to keeping our bodies healthy.  Many overlook the the rest we need and the healthy food our bodies need to fuel our days.  Everyone should take the time to learn the best way to care for themselves, we the can take better care of others too.

Celebrate today and form a plan for healthy living.

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

A healthy outside starts from the inside. 

Robert Urich 

I did attend physical rehab therapy when I recovered from my heart stint surgery. I was pretty active then, but this sumer, not so much.  It’s been too hot to go out walking which is my favorite kind of exercise. I need to keep my heart pumping by doing some kind of exercise.  So I’m glad it will be cooling off here some, so I can go for walks again. I do eat a healthy diet and get plenty of rest so that part is no problem.

My plan is to get more exercise and keep walking more.  I eat a well balanced diet and get plenty of rest.  I’m afraid I rest more than I work, so my goal is to change that.  

I am going to go for my annual check up today from my primary care doctor.  DS#2 is going to be giving me a ride as DSIL has to work longer days this week and won’t be home.  Here’s hoping that all is well.

It’s important to have regular checkups.  I would never have found out about my high blood pressure or my kidney disease, if I’d not gone to the doctor. 

I hope you all have a Healthy and WONDERFUL Wednesday!

The greatest wealth is health.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

13,680. for good doctors checking up on me

13,681.  for exercise and fresh air 

13,682. for a chance of rain, we need it here

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
