Rambling on Friday
Sleep depravation drain my energy and make it nearly impossible to do almost anything I love and enjoy doing. One of “the things” is trying to lose weight. Yes, lose weight that is! I started gaining weight ever since I stopped going to aerobic classes and playing squash. What makes me stop doing these activities?
Well, I am enjoying the presence of my grandkids and keeping fit is tucked away at the back of my head!
The urge to keep fit and maintain a moderate weigh is unfortunately, bogging me a lot!
So my sleep hours (not enough of that) jeopardize my weight loss efforts. Gee! I probably am having a very busy life! More often than not, the sleeping hours are used for other activities such as quilting till the wee hour of the morning! I sew and quilted after 9 pm most weekdays. It has become a habit (good habit in the sense that I managed to finish one or two of my quilts, and is not because I lack sleep). :( Weekends are reserve for spending quality times with my family and grandkids! We always have a long list of ‘things to do” planned for the weekends. Be it just staying indoors watching our favorite TV series and playing school or stay outdoors on a fine day doing gardening, cycling, walking around the neighborhood and enjoying Mother Nature’s beauty surrounding us. Such glorious joy and thank God for it.
Ok, guess after musing here, I think I have got the answer to the reason why I constantly felt lethargic, disoriented and cranky. It’s time to examine my lifestyle patterns and I am going to do me a mile-long-to-do-list.

Thank God It’s Friday!
Another day passed and Praise Thee Lord for keeping my family, dear friends and me in your Love and Mercy. Amen.
~ When at night you cannot sleep, talk to the Shepherd and stop counting sheep. ~
Give us help from trouble; for vain is the help of man. – Psalm 60:11
