Believe in yourself!
I ran around to all four Walmarts and a Target store today looking for shelving for my closet. Probably stacking wire racks or baskets would be good to ripen fruit. Had a taco and a tostado from Taco Bell. Mmmmmm... my Favorite! Kinda hot today. Came home and made dad and I root beer floats. Very refreshing. Later we shared a can of Campbell's beef soup. Joined online www.MyFitnessPal.com Invited Cinnamon, and turns out she has already been on it for a month. So far, I am waaaaaaaaaaaaayyy over my daily calories. This could be a hint why I keep gaining weight. lol So, keeping track of the food and calories. With Cinnamon on my side, I feel positive this is a step in the right direction. My water filters from HSN came in today. Tomorrow, I will try and install them. Ugh. wish me luck! I'll try and do it while dad is at exercise. Everything is easier to do when he is not underfoot. Can't believe this is the last day of July. Time just keeps flying by. Tomorrow is August 1st. Would be mom and dad's 64th wedding anniversary. Sigh.
Welcome to My World. I spend almost 100% of my time in Hayward, CA taking care of my dad. This is a great opportunity to learn about blogging. This is Jordan Pond in Garin Park off Mission Blvd. in South Hayward.

One smile can make everything better. Especially your smile.
Dad and I are going to the movies this morning and see the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises". This is the one that had the mass killing at the first midnight showing in Aurora, Colorado a week ago. It is 2 hours and 45 minutes. Hope dads back will be okay. I told him to get up and walk around a little. He says he will be okay. Sure hope so. Learned from Bev Mendes that dad's cousin Louis Buserwini has been sick and was in the hospital. They have sold his house and he is living with his son. His girlfriend Connie Johnson, who lives on our street, has early stage of alzheimers and woke up one night and didn't know where she was, so.... she has now moved in with her daughter and they have put her house up for sell. I wonder what I am going to do when I get that old and cannot live alone any more. Sure HATE the idea of living in a facility. Getting old is so scary. Better enjoy this youth thing while I have it. lol
Dad and I took Luigi across the street to the park this afternoon and practiced "heel" with him. For the first time outdoors, he was doing pretty good. Then of course we played Fetch. That little guy Loves to Play Fetch.

First, You Have To Ask Yourself, What Is It That You Would Most Like To Do In The World - And Then - You Have To Do It!
Fun Day Yesterday Tony and Susan.
Quote:
"Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where
you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are
born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have
received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be
content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into
your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and
love. It is there for each and every one of us."

You're destined to succeed!
My adorable nephew Tony and his beautiful wife Susan took dad and I out for breakfast this morning to Denny's. Then they came back to the house and we all visited. We had such a great time. I wish all the family lived close together again like we use to. Being with family is always the most fun.

"The Healthier You Are - the More the People You Care About Will Follow You"
Go To Health. So much easier said than done. I have been obsessed reading about eating naturally, fruits and vegetables. But, I am finding that it is not satisfying enough for me. Need to keep experimenting to find what combination works best for me. I would like to be a good example. It's so much easier to preach to someone else to be healthy, than to take the steps to do it for yourself. Lesson to Self: Take Responsibility for Your Own Health. Note Taken.
(Maybe) :-)
Dad and I had a fun lunch with Uncle Joe and Auntie Isabel at Shari's Restaurant for lunch in Castro Valley today. Keeping very busy, but enjoying nice, relaxing days.
