Life Recovery

I am so thankful that I am witnessing the good in people. (More)

My daughter accepted the challenge.   So we are off and running!  God give me strength to resist what I crave.

Why is it so easy to gain weight and so darn hard to lose it? (More)

The next house we live in is going to have an air conditioner!!  Granted we live in Northern Nevada and it does not get anywhere near as hot as Las Vegas.  However, it still gets hot.  Today was cooler than yesterday, but it is still hot.  My husband thinks I'm nuts, because his skin is always cool to the touch.  Meanwhile, I'm not.  So, it could be menapause, it could be my diabetes, it could be the extra insulation I have on my body and it could be it really is HOT!!!  I'm thinking it's all of the above. 

 

To all you Fathers out there, have a very Happy Father's Day!

Have you ever ballroom danced?  About a year or so after I graduated from high school, 2 of my friends and I took a dance class.  Unfortunately, it was all women, except for the male instructor.  So we didn't get to learn too much and I'm sure he was pretty wiped out after dancing with each of us all night. (More)

Hi, I'm Deb and a recovering Catholic who gave up on religion, but was searching for something. I also thought I had given up on God, only to realize I hadn't and that He had not given up on me! What Good News that is! I live in Northern Nevada, married, have 3 married children (2 daughters and 1 son) and 5 grandchildren. Nope, they all live in different areas, which makes seeing them difficult. Thank you God for pictures!

I work on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and am thankful for the drive I make everyday.
