I could not have expressed more clearly. My body has gone through some serious changes over the last several years but in the end I’m still me. A different me but still DeBorah.

Rest in Peace John Glenn
One thing that stood out to me in John Glenn’s obituary other than his NASA career was that he and his wife were married for 73 years!! Outstanding!! That is what I call a True Love bond! Wow!!
Another aspect of John and Anna Glenn relationship was that I admired that his wife whom he affectionately called Annie stammered for many years yet he called her “His Girl” and the rock of their relationship and family life. John Glenn did not care that Annie stammered. Her disability had no bearing on his Love for her. He accepted her as is. Later through intensive therapy Annie Glenn did conquer her stammering along with support and encouragement from her Beloved husband.
Now a days it’s all about hook-ups and booty calls. A Woman has to look like a movie star actress, model with a perfect shape, flawless skin, hair and nails plus Never age. Then we wonder why our relationships don’t last. I’m not saying let yourself go downhill. Yes take care of yourself but marriage and any long term romantic relationship is more than a roll in the hay. What you’re looking for. What we are designed for as human beings cannot be found on Tinder, Grinder or any online dating website, your local bar, disco or club. Nor should you just treat your House of Worship as a social club. The Singles Ministry is supposed to be there to help you create a well rounded Life as a Single person not to just scout for Mr. or Ms. Right. It’s a good thing if you do meet your future spouse at church but God should be first.
Keep in mind that sooner or later you’ll have to get of out the bed and deal with that person as an individual not a sex object or somebody you can misuse, abuse then toss aside. What you do to others will come back to haunt you.
O’ for a Man. A Real Man! A True Man! Who will Love you with all your faults, flaws and Aging Body!! They just don’t make’em like that anymore! More than just Lovers but True Life Partners!!
Proud to say my Dad Edward G. Palmer was such a Man. Forty Years together on earth and Now an Eternity together in Heaven!!
Yes I admire John and Annie Glenn because they both have the Right Stuff! R.I.P. ~~ John Glenn.
Godspeed Mr. Glenn!! Now exploring Limitless Heavens!!

Share Your World – 2016 Week 49
What do you value most in a friendship?
Here goes Y’All!! You knew this was coming!!
Billy Joel – Honesty
Do you prefer eating the frosting of the cake or the cupcake first? Do you prefer a specific flavor?
Chocolate cupcakes minus the frosting. I loathe frosting! Ugh! Way too sweet! Like eating a mouthful of flavored sugar! Yuck! Besides the fact that I’m pre-diabetic I should not be eating any type of sweets especially cupcakes or regular cakes. However sometimes for special occasions I do indulge.
Have you ever been in a submarine? If you haven’t, would you want to?
No. Not sure. Hmmm…. Enclosed space that you can’t open the door and get out of??? I cannot swim. Maybe not… I could see myself suffocating then drowning…. No thanks!!
I have been inside a C-130 but then again I was only 18 or 19 an adventurous private in the Army. My last post before I ETS’d was the 101st Airborne Div. Ft. Campbell, KY but I was Chairborne not Airborne!! I was a 75 Delta which was at that time called a Personnel Records Specialist. I’m sure computers do that type of work now.
I’ve also been in an Army Helicopter which turned out to be a hair raising experience when the pilot decided he was gonna see how close he could come to the German mountains without crashing into one!! I threw up!!
C130 Rolling Down The Strip – Military Running Cadence
No. I cannot run anymore. Age has caught up with me but I could easily run over 8 miles a day back then!!
If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
Maybe 50 of them since my life is pretty boring. You would have to define Satisfying. Everyone would have their own definition of Satisfy. At this point I’m content but my life could be better.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
A good start with my new work position. As for next week nothing specific. I don’t really celebrate Christmas but I need to pick up a few more gifts for Stephen. We will spend Dec. 22nd to Dec. 24th together because I must work Christmas Day. The good part is that it’s extra pay for Christmas Day. Easy money.
