My last post was a bit harsh, I know. Was just feeling cranky and tired of hearing someone complain. I am better now....I've finished all but one of the tax returns that I committed to. Lent began last Wednesday. While I typically avoid church during Easter and Christmas, (as that is when those that do not attend the rest of the year decide to go) I was awake early last Sunday morning and decided it would be nice to start the Lenten season off right.
I had a little bit of a selfish reason as well- my husband is having some health issues and I wanted to send up as many prayers as humanly possible that we will get through this with no complications. I have kept my fears under wraps so as to comfort him. However, when I am alone, a feeling of panic captures me.
I feel confident that all will turn out well--I just feel bad for him.
I've been doing well with my gym attendance. I went to breakfast with my oldest son and his girlfriend last Saturday near a nice shopping center. After we parted ways, I went into a couple of the shops and ended up buying myself some clothes. I purchased my normal size only to find out (to my delight) upon arriving home that they were too big. YIPEE! Of course, I realize that it depends on who makes the clothing. It's a crap shoot.
After looking at what I had spent and even though I need new clothes, I took the whole lot back to the store. I supposed that I've been shopping in thrift stores for so long that I just couldn't keep the "full price" -although -on -sale stuff.
I mentally calculated just how much I could get at the local thrift for a fraction of what I spent in the retail store. Go me! I'd really like to lose a few more pounds as well as firm up a bit more before splurging on new clothes, anyway.
My youngest is coming to town on Friday and he loves nothing more than a good thrift store run...we can each afford a bag full of clothes AND lunch with some left over now that I got my refund .
Hope everyone has a wonderful Lenten season and takes time to reflect on how truly blessed we are.

Hope you husband is okay. It's hard when those we love are dealing with health issues.
It was nice to catch up with you. Good for you going to the gym. I went a couple of times last weekend but just can't seem to get there during the weekend.
Funny about shopping too. I will do that. It seems to get harder and harder to find clothes I like that are justified by the price. Oh well.
