AN ACCIDENT AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

I have not posted lately because of a baby and life. I have been working so that at times, I do not know how I will make it. I do have a big challenge with a baby but it is a rewarding exhaustion. When I raised my two children, it was tough but worth it. I would do it all over again.

My Aunt had a strange accident with a stick, she was trying to do yard work and somehow the stick hit her nose. It went to the bone but the miracle of it, was how close it came to her eye. What happened is uncomfortable but the eye would have been a tragedy.

When my son heard about her accident, he said, "Stuff could always be worse", it could have been her eye. I was wearing my T-Shirt and he might have been teasing, but I believe he was saying what my blog message is. He really did mean it could have been worse.

Let me see who will be my 60th follower? I am really thankful for anyone who reads and follows.

ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE

What happens when you accomplish the impossible, for me, it is exhaustion. I am not complaining, just the facts of MS. I have kept my 2 month old nephew again all day, he is cute as can be, but a baby.

Many have told me it would be too difficult for me in a wheelchair. I always want to try, then I can say I did my best. I still do not know how long I can keep him, but I will continue to take one day at a time.

I am thankful I have had the ability to keep him some. Many would love to keep a baby, but cannot physically. I am grateful for the strength I still have. All that have challenges, be grateful for what you still have.

MY COPPER MINER FATHER

I want to thank all Father's that try to be good Fathers. My husband has been a good father for 22 years now. He helped steer the children to be outstanding adults (I am prejudiced).

My Father raised 5 girls, he worked in the Copper Mines of Copperhill, TN. I always say, "there was copper in them thar hills". He would ride a skip into the ground 3000 feet below the surface. They would dynamite the ground, then send it to the surface to be processed into copper.
We would all be concerned of the mines collapsing or tragedies that do happen. He saw some accidents and he tries to not think about them now. He is one of the few copper miners that is still living.

We always take it for granted, when our parents work hard, until we get older and realize it. Be appreciative of your Fathers that try. They are not perfect, but if they tried, that is great.

SOCIALIZE

I had a MS meeting tonight, we talk about how our lives have been for the past month, good and bad. We are friends, we mainly try to listen.

I did wear my Cafe Press T-Shirt tonight to the meeting. I am impressed with the quality. Some did like the print, said more people need to realize that it could be worse.

Whatever your challenge in life is, try to find someone to talk to. People do need others to socialize with, so give it a try.

My son going to prom, not a very happy picture for such a happy time. He is going to get me, but I checked it twice. The first time I looked in two different places and they were both flowers. I am such a boring person that both places had a photo of flowers, I do love them. When I went to load the picture, it was my son, whom I love more.

Here are 5 blogs, if they want (I am breaking the rules)
