Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 5, 2012

Since Easter is all about Jesus,  thought I would
add this sweet picture of a figure depicting him
with the lil children.

Greetings Sweet Friends,


Well, hope your week has been way
 better than mine, cause I have been sick all week
and still fighting this wicked virus, it feels like the never
ending story!!  lol

Have to say this post was a little tougher than usual since I have
 done nothing all week but rest, cough, breathe, eat and try to sleep.

Oh yea, I have actually done a lil reading and watched a movie,
 can't even recall the name of it right now, so can you tell I am
 rather out out of it.  I am gonna get started .........

#1

I am thankful

that if I had to be sick it was the week after my

birthday,  and not the week of my birthday.

Think the enemy was trying to wipe out all the

sweetness and love of the week before, not to mention 

the good things that are happening for me physically

Have had some difficulty keeping up with the breathing

and woke up to a few backaches. The deep breathing

 makes me cough sometimes,  but doing as much as I

possibly can,  so no backaches the last few days.

Just thought I would show you some Easter scenes from last year.

#2

I am thankful

that when I went to the Dr. on Tuesday to get checked
 out, she said my lungs were all clear,  cause that was why I

 went,  cause was having a lil trouble taking in as deep of
 breathe as normal, so was concerned I might be getting
bronchitis or worse yet pneumonia.  They did a test (never knew
they had one) to tell if it was the flu or not. It was not,  so she
 said it was probably just a nasty virus that had to run it's course.
  I am most thankful that I did not have to take antiobiotics,
  as they usually cause me a lot of issues.

#3

I am thankful

that my SIL Susan finally got her new laminate wood floors

 put in,  as she has been waiting quite some time now..... and 

she is thrilled to pieces.  So happy for her.

#4

I am thankful

that a dear friend of almost 40 years might come over to 

visit us for Easter, course only if I am over this stuff,
certainly don't want to give it to anyone else,
It is not fun folks!
Just heard from a blog friend today that her daughter
had it for 9 days and now she has it and feel awful.
How well I know!!  lol
Then talked to another friend and she had the same
thing for 2 weeks and then had to go to the Dr. and
get a Zpack and that finally knocked it out after
another 5 days!!  

#5

I am thankful

for Alleve cold and sinus, lots of water, the recliner,

a thermometer, throat lozenges, mouth wash, hot coffee
 pillows,and  hubby which all brought comfort during this
lovely time!!  lol  Just a wee bit of sarcasm!!

#6
I am thankful

that I have lost 3 pds., the only bright spot of this whole thing.
  Certainly not the way I would choose to do it,  but at least it got
 my scales going in the right direction,  cause no matter what I have
 done lately,  it just kept going up.

#7

I am thankful

that hubby was able to get most everything done to the yard
yesterday by himself.  Typically I help him by doing the mowing
since we have a riding mower, while he does the weedwacker,
 edging,  and blows everything off,

#8
I am thankful
for our riding mower and lawn equipment because it
really makes doing the yard fairly easy, and quick,
and it looks so nice afterwards.

#9
I am thankful
for cracker barrel veggies.  Tuesday night I was still
feeling pretty bad,  but we had gotten some Tilapia
to make,  so I just threw that in the oven,  and hubby
ran by and got 2 veggie plates from Cracker Barrel.
So that was our dinner the last 2 nights.
Thank Goodness!!

#10
I am thankful
for our air purifier because when it is on, it helps drown out
 noise, which has been very useful this week,  sinceI am coughing
 so much and uncomfortable, as I am back and forth between the
 bed and recliner and up reading or in the kitchen eating something
 cause I can't sleep,  so at least it drowns my noise out, so hubby
can sleep.

#11
I am thankful
we are suppose to go to the wedding of a dear friend's daughter,
 this weekend, or at least I hope so, as the days go by it isn't looking
real good,  as I keep running a low grade fever, and hubby came home
tonight saying he feels like he might be coming down with it.

#12
I am thankful
for a dear godly friend that always tells me the truth
and gives such wise advice.  She is priceless.


Want to thank you for coming by,
and
 I wish you all,


A
Very
Happy
Easter!!


He is Risen,  He is Risen Indeed!


Love, Hugs,
and Resurrection Morning Blessings,
Nellie
