The Clock is Ticking

It's Saturday, November 11 - Veteran's Day - our flag is flying high today!

I went to my Weight Watcher meeting this morning and as they talked about upcoming holidays then mentioned that 8 weeks from today is January 6! Their point was that we just had 8 weeks, one at a time, to get through the holidays and all the tempting moments without significant weight gain.

That thought about 8 weeks sent what felt like an electric current through my body! It's true that 8 weeks from today is a significant day in our family, especially for one very significant lady! But my thoughts continued -- if that is only 8 weeks away, think of all that will happen in between now and then. That means that 3 weeks from today is the Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend -- our last weekend as residents of beautiful Elk River! And since we're hoping for a weekend to relax and recharge before moving, that means we have just two weeks to get all the heavy packing and preparing done! Wow!

I think I'd better quit writing and get busy. More news as it happens!

Are you really aware of all that you have to be thankful for? You can avoid the big rush that Thursday and give thanks today!
