Walking A Mile

I walked to Church, from our car again, for the fourth Sunday now.  I am tired of walking!  How can I say that, when it is such a miracle, to be able to walk again. 

Some that never saw me walk were surprised that I was walking.  What do I say?   I am so tired and the van is not working.  Grrrr!  How could I say that?

I mummer and complain, when I should have been thankful that I am able to walk again (with a walker).    My cup overflows and I am complaining like a spoiled child. 

I am so blessed and I need to be thankful for whatever I am able to do.   Remember this, when you want to complain.

Why I Stay Up Late

I am asked this question quite a bit.  Here goes a reason for it.  I was made to stay in the hospital 7-10 days of complete rest, back when I first started having MS relapses!  They did not know what to do but rest and take an IV everyday of steroids.  It  was tough to have complete rest, while taking a medication that makes me hyper.

Needless to say, I feel like laying in bed, and unable to sleep is like torture!  To this day I stay up late, to avoid being awake in the middle of the night.  It works pretty good for me, I know most MSer's have trouble sleeping.

This is where things could be worse.   Prisoner of your body and your mind is fine.  Remember to be thankful for whatever you can do.  I do try to be grateful for breathing and other abilities we take for granted.

Actions of Love

Here is "actions speak louder than words".  My Hubby built these bird feeders for me.  I can bird watch out of my window.  He is refilling the feeders on our anniversary.  I love watching the beautiful variety of birds. 

Do you think that God likes watching our variety of humans?

Going Overboard!

Literally, I wanted to go on the lake, with hubby in our new canoe.  I say, I do not want to get wet!  He promises, he would never let anything happen to me.  I am finally in the canoe, holding on for dear life.  He starts pushing it off shore.  I said this is scary,  just getting the boat into the water. 

Suddenly the canoe tips sideways, and I am setting in inches of water.  I am cold, even though I was dressed warmly, wet now.  I was waist deep in cold, muddy water.  He calls our son and gets help soon. 

We finally get back to the house, after two trucks get stuck, they wenched them out.  Finally this beautiful day ends with me taking a hot shower to warm up.  After walking on frozen water last week, I fell in the water, this week.  Biblical lesson, should not have looked down, into the water. Grrr!

When you feel thrown overboard and you are cold and wet. in life.  Be thankful you have help to get you back to stability, and a warm place to go to.

Glimpse of Spring

I do love a glimpse of spring, even cleaning off the deck walkway.  It is a fresh feeling of beginning again, a new season.  Life is like seasons, changing all the time.  Keep that in mind, when the job looks tough, it will change again.  The cob webs will be gone.
