What Kind of a Person Are You?

Physically I am 6 feet tall. My brother used to cut my hair when I was growing up, and he told me that I had the thickest head of hair he had seen. Well, now at 66 years old if my hair doesn't lay just right you can see parts of my scalp. I still look like I have a full head of hair just after I wash it and comb it, but it is getting thinner. When I see a picture of the back of my head I am amazed that there is so little hair there! My hair is pretty much grey; a mixture of what used to be almost black and white, giving it a grey appearance. For a long time I thought I weighed 10 pounds less than what I do because the scales I was using read 10 pounds too light. My oldest grandson brought some scales home to our daughter's house by Spokane, and I told him they were weighing 10 pounds too heavy. He asked my why I thought they were weighing 10 pounds too heavy. Well, I got weighed at the doctor, and guess what? His scales are correct, and I weigh 10 pounds more than I thought I did. The last weighing at the doctor's office I weigh 181 pounds. I'm not crying about that because they say muscles weigh more than fat, and I walk 6.5 miles every day, and while I do have just a little fat on the stomach, I am pretty much straight up and down. I do have just a slight bit of Native American blood in me, so I am not a white man, and neither am I a black, yellow, or red man. I am slightly darker than white, but nothing more, resulting in my race mixture. My Dad said that he didn't want any of his kids to marry a black person or an Indian, but he did. My mother showed her Indian blood more than some. I am a healthy person. I take care of myself; I eat right thanks to Carol's help, and I get more exercise than I ever have in my life; intentional exercise anyway. I have always been an ambitious person, so I have natural been fairly active most of my life. I am now realizing the importance of diet and exercise more than ever in my life, due to nutrition classes I have taken. I am a busy person. I am doing something all the time until I become fatigued, and then I rest a little while and resume my activities. I believe in getting a good night's rest every night. The Bible says in Psalms 127:2; "It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, and to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 3; Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." I have stayed up late and gotten up early to meet deadllines, but it was against my better judgement, and I was happy when i could resume my regular sleeping pattern again. When I was taking classes it seemed like I always needed to put more time into the classes than what I had, so I just stayed up reading until I felt the need to retire, and then I simply fell into bed, and it always worked out for me.
