Greetings Sweet Friends,
and Belated Welcome to November.........
Wow, Thanksgivng is right around
the corner, my only thoughts about
it so far, is what can we do if I am
still not up to doing Thanksgiving
din din. Since I am feeling better,
guess, I better start thinking about
what I can do, just maybe an easier
version. There will only 5 of us,
since our SC kids can't be here till
Christmas.
Pictures today are of pumpkins..........
just because I love them!!
#1
Thankful for 2 more trips to the Chiropractor which makes me 2 step closer to being well. Course, the day afterwards doesn't necessarily feel that way cause I am so sore, but then the next day is better, so I am coming along.
#2
Thankful that I am no longer using the walker and all
seems to be going well..........for the last 6 days. YAY!
#3
Thankful for the lovely post roast and veggie dinner a
friend from our church brought tonight. Every bite was
delicious and her pot roast reminded me of my Mom's.
Also nice to get to visit with her for a short while too,
so that was very nice.
#4
Thankful that our kids are having a fun time in South
Carolina, and my daughter fills me in on what they
are doing at times, which is sweet. Cause would so
love to be there, as you can imagine!!
#5
Thankful to really be enjoying the cooler weather,
So refreshing from all that heat, still getting
to 80 later in the day, but it's still great.
#6
Thankful for all the people the Lord has used
to help us during this time, from prayer warriors,
to family members, to Drs., to friends bearing
food or phone calls and texts. It has all
been such a blessing during this time.
#7
Thankful that after I started this post
and was talking about Thanksgiving,
hubby and I put our heads together
and came up with an easy Thanks-
giving dinner plan. So it will be easy
and delicious, and if we want to add
to it, we could do that too, if we want.
#8
Thankful for these cool fall days
for ever how long they last. We
opened all our windows and doors
and let in all the cool fresh air.
It was wonderful!!
and we sat out of the porch as well.
Satisfy us in the morning with your
unfailing love, that we may sing for joy
and be glad all our days.
Happy Thankful Thursday
Sweet Friends,
Hope you are experiencing and enjoying
some cool Fall weather!
We are.... here in Central Florida.....
it has long been awaited,
we are 54 degrees this morning. YAY!
Finally, course, it will warm up to 72
as the day goes on, but hey,
we are hap hap happy!!
That is perfect weather as far as we
Floridians are concerned.

On with my Thankfuls....
#1
Thankful that hubby loves gadgets, and about 3 yrs ago saw this thing called a "Liberty Lift" that is used to help someone get up off the floor or out of a chair. So a few years back when our friend broke her knee cap and was laid up, he ordered one for her and one for us. I will tell you, that lil gadget has been priceless during this time for me and for him as well as he was pulling me by hand and it was starting to hurt his back, and then we remembered that gadget, and started using it, it has made such a difference.
Note: I get no compensation in any way, just giving you some info that could be helpful to you or yours.
#2
Thankful that our church set up a meal train for us last night, So we will be getting dinner Wed. and Friday already. That will be so helpful.
Note: if you haven't been by recently I
have been suffering with a pinched
nerve in my back. Getting better
tho every day. Just a slow process.
#3 and 4
Thankful that my Daughter was talking with a co-worker that had 2 herniated disks in her 20's and she is 60 now, and only has had a problem with it one other time in all those years, They used traction therapy or decompression therapy I think is the new name for it, and she said that was what worked the best. So that was very encouraging to hear especially since a herniated disk is worse than a bulging disk, and also is what I have, and that is the theraphy they are using on me.
Thankful too, that this lady told her about these portable grab bars you can use in your shower, that are really sturdy and safe and said they have been using them for 20 years for her parents. So hubby bought some on amazon and I mean they really stick, to the tile. They do tell you to pull on them just to test them before you get in just as a precautionary, but every time we do they are on there very strong. What is nice too, is you can take them with you when you travel as well. They are called "Taili Grab bars".
Note: Again just passing on some info that could help someone else, I get no compensation from anyone.
#5
Thankful for a phone call from our lunch buddies. She rec'd the email about the meal train, and was shocked cause they thought we were away visiting with our Daughter, because that was our plan... but the Lord had other plans. Great to hear from her, and to know they are praying, and that we can pray for them as well, as they have some things going on too. We have plenty of time to pray that is for sure
#6
Thankful that our Son and lil darling
will be going to SC to visit our Daughter
(his sister)and her hubby soon. She
is really looking forward to it, as always.
We love they all have such a great time
together.
#7
Thankful for a sense of humor.
I just had what I think is a hilarious
random thought, as I was eating
a McDonald burger.
I was thinking how funny would it
be for President Trump to announce
that he was going to build his own
MacDonalds right next to the
bowling alley that Pres.Nixon
put in years ago! lol
#8
Thankful to be able to sit out in the sun
for a lil bit today, It felt Amazing, as it
has been almost a month, and it was
fun to hear familiar sounds like cars
going by and planes overhead, and
feel gentle breezes blowing and to see
some dragon flies. Reminded of more
things we can so easily take for granted
but that bless our souls in sweet ways.
#9
Thankful that I was able to sleep in
bed on my back all night. That is
another first in this situation, and
has been almost a month as well.
#10
Thankful to be feeling that I might
have turned the corner on this thing.
Such a joyful feeling.....
Today is Wednesday!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Hello Sweet friends,
Hope you and yours are Enjoying
the weekend. Enjoying might be a lil
strong for us, more like enduring our
weekend. lol I am coming along tho,
ever so slowly but seeing progress, so
that is the optimal plan. It truly is
one step forward 2 steps back, so trying my best to not get
discouraged withthe process..............
Pictures are of some cute whimsical
pictures I found on pixabay.
#1
Thankful that I have made some progress this week , still not out of pain, but most of the time it is bearable but still having to be careful. Baby steps.
#2
Thankful to be walking around a lil more, still with the walker.
Thankful to be able to get in our sunken shower and to take a shower and wash my hair.
#4
Thankful that times like these give you a more grateful attitude, as you see how really blessed you are, and how much we take for granted. just being able to get out of bed without help, or tobe able to reach for a toothbrush or hair brush or walking on your own without it hurting.
Very humbling !!
#5
Thankful lil darling got to play in a volleyball tournament this passed weekend, unfortunately we weren'table to attend, and they
didn't win, but she did well every
time she played and best of all she got an award
for "Best Christian Character" .
We are so proud of her!
#6
Thankful to be going back to the chiropractor tomorrow. Really appreciate the Dr. she is very kind and listens very well. The whole staff is really so nice, friendly and helpful.
#7
Thankful for great massages hubby gives me with our Homedic massager which really helps a lot to keep my back limbered up which is very needed in this process.
#8
Thankful for a muscle stimulator they puton me at the chiropractors, it is so relaxing, and we were able to get a small one for home, it doesn't have the same intensity, but it still work to relax the muscles.
#9
Thankful for a traction device they used yesterday, that stretches you, and I haveto say I am feeling better today, and have to go back today cause she (my chiro)wants to see how I did. I am hoping it is a cross between the traction and the prayers of 3 friends that text and called
me yesterday and are praying for me, as I had lil to 0 pain during the night.
That being the first time during this
ordeal, and it was wonderful.
#10
Thankful for a good movie we watched this week
called "Heart srings attached"
on Up Faith and family, very good.
Thankful we saw our brown bunny today, and he had another brown bunny with him. We have only seen them together once or twice about almost a year ago. So that was fun.................
#12
