SIGH!! SOME DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME. The roofers have left a ladder leaning against the building right up the middle of my living room window.
Now my prince can climb the ladder and swing in to my apartment. A prince older then me so I don’t have high hopes. I am on the third floor so he will have to be agile. Dream on, Marge. Staying on plan and exercising more then ever. Just thankful that I can. 32 pounds less does make it easier to travel up ramps and around town. Yesterday I was coming home from my rambles when I saw someone had littered our front lawn with torn up paper. I pulled onto the grass and was bent over to the ground picking up the scraps. A car pulled into the entrance of our parking lot and stopped. I raised up and about that time I heard a woman’s voice ask if I was okay. I told the two women what I was doing and we had a good laugh, BUT wasn’t it wonderful that they stopped to see if they could help? Sometimes I feel a little isolated since Ed is gone, but the kindness of strangers is so comforting. Thank God for all the wonderful people out there who care about others. Take care of yourselves and smile at the people you meet on the street. It will raise your spirits whether they smile back or not. Keep battling our problem! You will make it. Just never give up. Hugs and love, Marge

You are such an inspiration. Great job on staying on track and being positive. Have a great day!
GREAT job on the weight loss Marge. I think it’s really inspirational that you’ve remained so dedicated to this.
A little story….
I was at the grocery store the other day and as I arrived I saw an older woman finishing loading her groceries into her car from the cart. I stood behind her about ten feet off, waiting for her to finish so I could offer to take her cart back to the store and save her the trouble. As she took the last item she looked at me a little suspiciously until I asked if I could take her cart. She smiled and said “Yes, please” and then said, “I thought you were going to steal my groceries!”
We laughed and said our goodbyes.
I still don’t know if she was worried I’d take her food because it’s a sign of the times or if I just look like the kind of guy who takes a LOT of groceries from people!
Have a good week, Marge!
Great story Marge! Glad you had the experience of meeting people who are nice enough to just stop and help if needed. It is a rare occasion these days…. Hope you are doing well… luv ya…flo
Thanks for sharing this Marge. Sometimes it seems like the news is always about people being mean to others. I love hearing about random acts of kindness. Take care. -Dee
what a sweet and wonderful story - both you taking the time to clean up and her stopping to check on you. one of my favorite things is the random conversations with people in the neighborhood - it is so nice to connect in that way. i also hope your price charming will come - that’d certainly be fun!
Too funny, and if anyone deserves a prince it is you!! I love how you keep active, you are such an inspiration.
Great story Marge! You too have an active imagination. I love reading your blogs.
Great reminder Marge. Because we can make things better with just a smile. You just never know what might happen next.
Wishing you sweet and pleasant dreams tonight. Have a good weekend Marge. *hugs*
