My Blessing for Today

Some of you might know I gave two huge garbage bags of clothes to the church rummage sale give away that took place this past Saturday. What that meant was that I had very little in the way of clothes left. All those clothes I gave away no longer fit, so it was a good thing. Gotta love this diet plan I'm on when I need to get a completely new wardrobe.
So, after the Y this morning I headed to Wal-Mart with clothes shopping in mind. I also got more bananas. They just don't last long in my house. Anyway, I didn't find too much in the way of pants, just a couple pairs of shorts, and that from the lingerie area. Hey, they look like regular clothes, and they're much more comfortable anyway. I also got a couple shirts on the clearance rack.
My grandson gave me a gift card for Christmas that I hadn't used but once and for a very small amount, so I had most of that to use. I also used my food share card for the few groceries I got. Hoping I wouldn't need to use anything from my checking account. I get paid on Wednesday So, I felt the blessing this morning when everything was covered by those two cards.
So, I've added to my wardrobe. I don't expect to buy too much before I get to my final weight and size, but I gotta have clothes to wear and when the thrift shops don't have what I need, and their prices are comparable to what I can get at Wal-Mart, I shop Wal-Mart.
Have you received some great blessings lately? Thanks for reading.

It is always nice w to find clothes that you like when you go out shopping for clothes
I usually pretty much have an idea of what I want and that sort of comes in the way.
How is your swimming going.

Yes, it's food stamps, only it's called Foodshare here. Yes, I am very happy they fit. It makes me feel good that my clothes size is going down with my weight loss.

I know, but I need something to wear. I'm so happy to find I'm only one size away from what I used to wear before I went to college all those years ago - I'm talking 1992, not when I graduated from high school. That's when I gained this weight, sitting in the classroom all day. Now, it's finally coming off.

Thank you, and in a smaller size. Now, that makes me happy!

Thank you. Smaller sizes helps me keep going. I only have one more size to go before I'll be completely happy, but I also have a long way to go yet with this weight. 20 days to weigh-in and I'm hoping the scale will be nice to me this time and give me less than a hundred to go. It feels like it should be that right now.
