blogging buddy...........if it was you let me know, cause I like to
give credit where credit is due

Because your love is better than life, 
my lips will glorify you!

Greetings Sweet Folks,

How have you been??  Have you had 

a good week?? I hope so..........

Have you taken your Christmas

decorations down yet??

My week has been good so far, and I have not taken my 

decorations down yet!!  lol   Actually thought I would 

start yesterday,  but for some reason I just wasn't ready 

yet.............think we have had such a good and restful

 time I am just trying to make it last a bit longer.....

 I guess!  lol     Have been looking for some ideas

tho, for when I do take them down and redecorate.

Will give you a glimpse into my week,  thru my thankfuls.

#1

I am thankful

again for being able to have hubby home all this time,

but for a different reason this week.  I really think it has

been a tremendous help in the healing of this tendinitis.

Because there are certain things I do that really irritate

it,  like bending over to get things out of the dryer for

instance.  So hubby has done all those type of things

the last 2 weeks,  and when he has been home the

rest of the time before even,  but the days he wasn't

 home, sometimes as careful as I tried to be I have had

 to do some things and I think that would inflame

it all over again....................

#2

I am thankful

to be able to sit down for an extended period of

time once again, even tho it is with a pillow still.

It is much much better and I can tell it is healing,

just ever so slowly.  Hubby is going back to work

today so if you think of me,  pray that I will be very

careful in what I do........it is so hard to remember

not to do certain things once you are feeling better

and not in pain,  but takes nothing to set you back.

#3

I am thankful

for this time of rest we have had,  we have pretty

much done no exercise, other than the normal

walking around the house, but have done a lot

of reading and movie watching,  and that has

been fun.  I am so hoping that when we start

exercising again maybe it will causes a boost

in our metabolism and some weight loss,  

as I have put on about 6 pds. during this time.

#4

I am so thankful

that I had lost 3 pds. prior to this tho or my

weight would be much higher.

#5

I am thankful

that I have been able to take less and less

ibuprophen.  I am down to like 1 tablet

twice a day...........started to just quit since

I really don't need it pain wise,  but decided

I had best keep taking some to make

sure it doesn't get inflamed again.

#6

I am thankful

that a friend of mine was not injured in a

fender bender she was in on New Years eve.

Minor damage to her car only, thankfully!!

#7

I am so thankful

that the Lord spared the same friend and I

and her children from an accident later that

same evening, Some guy turned right in front 

of us at a traffic light, and thankfully, she was 

able to stop just in the nick of time. 

Otherwise we might  all be in a hospital bed 

right now...........scary to think about.

#8

I am thankful

that I am gonna get to have lunch with my

girl today.  It will be a short lunch,  but worth

every minute....................We did meet, just
ran to chick-fil-a,  she only has 40 mins.,
but  most importantly we enjoyed it.....

#9

I am thankful

for my son-in-love Jerry,  he is a wonderful

guy and makes our Dee very happy, and

 tommorrow is his birthday.  Happy

Birthday Jerry!!  not that he ever reads this, 

 at least not that I know of anyway.......lol

Have been gone all day so will try to get
this finished up now.................

#10

I am thankful

that I did get the christmas stuff in the guest
 bathroom taken down today, and started to
 redecorate it,  but then had to leave to go 
meet my sweet girl.  so at least I will  know
 where to start tomorrow......................lol


#11
I am thankful
for a fun day out by myself.  I made a day
of it............Home Goods, Ross, Marshalls,
Target, Sears, JoAnn's,  Michaels and the
 Dollar tree.  Tried to go to Tuesday morn.
but they were closed for inventory.  Was
looking for an el cheapo inspiration piece
 or two, sort of gets me excited about putting
 the house back together.  I did find one, I
think it is an artichoke on a pedestal,
and it is all gloss white ceramic.
  My fav finish.  Also happened on some
chair cushions for my kitchen chairs.
I have looked off and on, but never really
saw any I liked well enough to pay what
they wanted for them.  These were only
$5.99 each and a nice blueberry color
that will look great in my kitchen,  and my
 tendinitis already likes them, they feel
soooooooooo good!!  Now I want have
to keep getting a pillow everytime we
eat or sit at the table.  Refreshing!!  lol


#12
I am thankful

and excited that our friend Becky from over
 at Time Washed is coming for a visit in the
 morning,
Now I am glad I didn't take everything down
yet or the house would be a wreck!!  Not
that she cares, but it will just be nicer for
her visit is all.  It has been quite a while
since we have been able to get together,
so think we are both thrilled..........and it
will probably be awhile again as she has
two grand daughters arriving in the month
of January,  so Grammy is gonna be a
bit busy..................lol

Well, that's it for today!

Thanks for coming by..........

Would love to hear from you!

Love, Hugs, and
First of the year blessings to you,
Nellie
