On my feet all day!

My body woke me up at the early hour of 8:30 this morning.  By that I mean it told me it was time to get out of bed.   This week I have been awakened many times through out the morning, but my body didn't  get the message until about 10:00.  I take this as progress toward feelin' better :)

I was able to go to Curves today and exercise, not to my normal level, but I did the circuit 2 times and made all the machines move.  That is more than I could have done on Monday by a long shot!  It felt very good to move.  I was a little tired when I was done... but not bad.

After that I did some banking, went to JoAnn's to get some fleece for some warm head coverings, and to WalMart for groceries and scrunchies.   I found a couple of cool long scarves while I was there.  I also found a cool hair clip that I thought would hold a scarf nicely.

The scrucnchies are for an idea I have for wearing scarves on my head.  Rather than knotting them, use a scrunchie...kind of like you would long hair.  Worth a try don't ya think.


This is the scarf and hair clip I  wore to the football game tonight.  (red and black are the school colors, and we tend to like plaids because we are TigerScots... emphasis on the Scottish heritage in the area)  I put a cotton knit cap underneath it for warmth.  It sorta stayed in place and was warm.   A  little fun... and crazy maybe.

The football game was long (two overtimes) and I still have enough stamina to blog.  I had a great! day.  I wonder what tomorrow will hold!

I am thankful for the strength for today!
Thank you for your prayer!
God is Good!

Great idea to use a scrunchie for the scarf! And I like how it looks on you...but you always look great to me! I'm glad that the Lord is blessing you with increased strength and energy, because that's what I have been praying for.

Love you!

... WOW! Arlene, the scarf is wonderful! I love it, and the method you use to pin it in place.
CLEVER! My goodness, you don't even need a wig (albeit a gorgeous one!), your scarves are beautiful too. You always come up with something better than the options given. You go GIRL! and YES!!! THAT is MY SISTER!!! :-)
