My Story
JULY 15TH OF THIS YEAR I WILL BE 86 YEARS OLD. I WAS BORN IN BOWLING GREEN, OH AND HAVE LIVED HERE MOST OF MY LIFE. GOD BLESSED ME WITH 6 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WHO IN TURN GREW MY FAMILY TO 46 IN NUMBER, 21 GRAND CHILDREN AND 19 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MOST OF THEM LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, MICHIGAN, FLORIDA OR GEORGIA SO I DONT GET TO SEE THEM VERY MUCH. I DO HAVE A COUPLE CHILDREN IN OHIO THOUGH AND APPRECIATE THEM VERY MUCH.
THIS PAST WINTER HAS BEEN VERY HARD ON ME. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL TWICE WITH PNEUMONIA AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT KNOCKED A LOT OF STRENGTH FROM ME. BECAUSE OF THE ICE AND SNOW (BEING A WIDOW) I DIDNT GO OUT MUCH FOR FEAR OF FALLING. I DIDNT GET TO SEE MANY FACES AND GOT REALLY DEPRESSED. MY DOCTOR, THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA THAT I GO TO CURVES FOR WOMEN IN BOWLING GREEN FOR SEVERAL REASONS: I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT, I NEEDED THE FELLOWSHIP OF OTHER WOMEN AND I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. I HAVE ATTENDED FOR ONE MONTH NOW AND HAVE LOST 6.6 POUNDS AND 10.5 INCHES. THE FELLOWSHIP AND THE HAPPINESS I RECEIVED FROM THE WOMEN AND MY INSTRUCTOR, ANDREA, HAS SURE HELPED MY DEPRESSION TO BE LIFTED.
PROVERBS 17:22 SAYS, A MERRY HEART DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE. MY MERRY HEART CAME FROM FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER LADIES AND MY INSTRUCTOR, ANDREA. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO GIVE CURVES A TRY AND SEE IF IT DOESNT HELP CHANGE THEIR LIFE TOO.
