Focusing

On my list of goals this year is to read the 

online manual that came with my camera and

learn how to take better photos.  See the

squirrel above?  I took several shots and none

of them were very clear.  It was an extremely

windy day (see the tail, it was the wind that

kept it up over the squirrels back) and the limbs were

swaying so I'm thinking the movement was

a factor.  I do know that this camera of mine often

seems to have some problems with focusing.  Or

is it the photographer?  So, it's time to get the

manual online and read, read, read.  Then, 

practice, practice, practice! 

The main goal I've mentioned in another post is adopting a

healthier lifestyle.  It's something my whole family is

wanting to do.  My husband's heart attack last

July was a wake up call.  I'm considered to be 

diabetic even though my numbers aren't extremely high,

they are above the level they are supposed to be.

The doctor tells me I need to give up the sugar.

I suppose that means I won't be baking too many

cakes (see photo above...it's my favorite! If you want

my recipe, I'll be happy to pass it along.) or cookies.

Well, I really don't bake too many cookies because,

frankly, I don't like to.  I'd rather make brownies.

My husband has a sweet tooth and loves salty foods,
according to his heart doctor, he needs to watch his diet, too.  
I can't help him quit smoking, which he also needs to do, 

but I can control what is put on the dinner table.  

Heart disease runs in his family so I'm hoping my

adult children will adopt a healthier lifestyle, too.  It 

requires discipline and focus.  I am determined that

we will be healthier by the year's end!
  

Until next time...
