With Prayer 🙏 and leaning into a closer walk with Yeshua 📖💓, I know we can handle things better; I know we both need deliverance from PTSD triggers that derail our happiness:

Blog Post from 8-21-2024: THE BLOOD IS LIBERATING~HEALING: (https://roadgypsiesvalandholland.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-blood-is-liberatinghealing.html)

God will disrupt a people-pleaser personality.

God knows exactly who and what needs to be in your Life, to better your Life 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Pride has to go, in order to move forward.

God will blindside you with his purpose for your Life - leaving the choice open. Choose wisely.

Adam's Rib ❤️

Genesis 2:19 thru 24: {{Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam,  no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs, and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.}}

I think the movie, "Adam's Rib" is humorous 😉 because it showcases actual relationship situations, emotions, and commitments despite disagreements. And, I want to say that even though I do laugh about the butt slaps, and shin kick … we do not engage in physical attacks - we respect ourselves, and each other, too much to start something that can quickly escalate when the heat is on 🔥😡

Today was "Chicken Tuesday" 8-pc/$10, so we drove to Coalinga to buy a couple buckets = one to eat; the rest to freeze for future meals. While there, I saw a cactus loaded with blossoms 📸

Back home, body toning 💪 commenced; elections from coast to coast 🌎 was checked (and there wasn't any good news being reported 🧐😈🤦🏻‍♀️😟); and I worked some more on the little preemie-newborn sweaters 🤗

Side Leg Raises exercise primarily work the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles (outer glutes), which are essential for hip abduction and stability. They also engage the tensor fasciae latae (TFL), hip flexors, and the core and obliques for stabilization. Depending on the movement and variation, the adductors (inner thighs) and even quadriceps can be activated.

Core Abdominal Muscles

Side Leg Raises are generally safe for a senior woman to do, provided she has good balance and no underlying hip conditions like a recent hip replacement. It's essential to start slowly, use support like a chair for balance, and listen to her body to avoid injury. Consulting with a doctor or physical therapist first is crucial, especially if she has pre-existing health issues.

The Back Leg Raises exercise works the glutes and hamstrings, with the primary muscles being the gluteus maximus and hamstrings. They also engage the core, including the abdominals and lower back, for stability.

Lower back (Erector Spinae)

Back Leg Raises can be safe for a senior woman if done correctly and with proper precautions, as they strengthen leg, hip, and glute muscles which improves balance and mobility. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider before starting, begin slowly, and focus on proper form to avoid injury, such as keeping the back straight and avoiding arching. 

Leg Swings exercise engage the primary muscles of the hips, such as the hip flexors and glutes, along with the hamstrings, quadriceps, and hip abductors and adductors in the thighs. Depending on the direction of the swing, the focus shifts, and the core and some calf muscles can also be involved.

Calf Muscles

It is generally safe for a senior woman to perform leg swing exercises, provided they are done with proper form, controlled movements, and adequate support. Leg swings are a recommended, low-impact exercise for older adults to improve balance, hip mobility, and flexibility, which are crucial for reducing the risk of falls and maintaining independence.

The Day was enjoyable (aside from the political horrors), and it ended well 😊

Checking election results, coast to coast. Not good - the demonrat party is officially the Party of Hate & wicked intentions. Very bad for America & actual Americans. Sweater bodies finished;  yoke work tomorrow.
