This year, with...

Just a note about high blood pressure and weight: I was only about 118 lbs when i was diagnosed and I'm 5' 5 and 1/2 ", so being thin does not neccasarily make it go away, but I'm sure eating healthier can!:-)
Love in Christ,

Thank you Ladies:-) That really does help. I know that we usually start with Bible and the 3 R's too, but then in the past, I would be too burnt out for the fun stuff so it would often get skipped!!:-( That's why I'm afraid to do ALL of the basics first. I may have to start with the left side and se...
