Thankful Thursday October 22, 2025, and whimsical scenes of Fall

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.

Proverbs 3:5-6 niv

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.

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#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.

                                                         #3

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.

 

#11

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

Thankful for fairly new friends who brought us dinner from olive garden tonight. 

So special and sweet and so delicious!!

Thankful Thursday October 16, 2025, and Fall decorating part 5

 we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you and yours

in good health, and doing well.

  I am late because it has been

a very rough an painful week,

as I found out last friday I

have sciatica caused by a pinched nerve in my back. I am coming along, but it is very slow going  and not able to do much at all.

So just being able to do this

 post was progress. Took me 3 days.  lol but I really needed

the distraction.

Pictures today are of our Fallercized guest bathroom. 

 My only time of year to use the

Beauty Berries that grow in our yard.

Just love them,  they are just the most beautiful shade of purple.

So on with my Thankfuls

#1

Thankful that I was able

to get into see a chiropractor

last Friday.

#2

Thankful that even tho, I thought this was just my sacarillac being out of place, it turned out to be  a pinched nerve in my lower back,

from a bulging disk, and good

we caught it before it turned

 into a herniated disc, which is 

way worse.

#3

So incredibly Thankful for my sweet hubby who has just been the best care giver I could ever ask for, as I am pretty much

 grounded between the sofa and bed, and having to use a walker

to get back and forth to sofa, bed and bath. Most moves I make

 are very painful so not able to stand up very  long, so he is

 having to do everything for the

last 11 days or so. Once again,

my hero and knight in shining armor.

#4

Thankful for my female chiropractor and that hope-

fully they will be able to loosen my back up enough to make

the disc go back in place.

#5

Thankful for prayers 

anti-inflammatories, heating pads, ice pads, massagers, and

 a lil machine that applies heat

and electrical impulses.  It

feels heavenly for those 

15 minutes.

#6

Thankful to be able to go to my Son's yesterday after my

chiro visit to take a shower

 and wash my hair. We have a

sunken shower and a bath tub

with shower, and with my leg

being the way it is we are 

concerned about falling in one

of them, so didn't want to take

a chance, and realized he has

a walk in shower. Had been

taking sink baths, but couldn't

do my hair.  I praise the Lord

for that shower, it felt like

a million dollars!!

#7

Thankful for my first 

professional massage yesterday.

It was amazing and got me out

of pain for a lil while.  This lady

really knows what she is doing,

It was fabulous, and she was

such a sweet lady and gave 

me a lot helpful information.

It was work every penny!!

#8

Thankful I am able to do

this post on hubbies lap top.

sitting on the sofa.  As didn't

know if I would even want to

cause I felt so exhausted from

lack of sleep and pain earlier

in the week.

#9

Thankful that we have finally

 been able to sleep most of

 the night in our bed, the last

3 nights

    

#10

Thankful that I had taken 

these pictures a few weeks ago.

#11

Thankful for distractions like christian music, and Shows like

Better Together and a few movies we watched that were sweet.

"Seasoned with Love" and "A Wisconsin Christmas Pie"

we watched on Up Faith and family and Pureflix.

#12

Thankful to hear all the 

hostages were released, it

was gutwrenching yet beautiful

as we watched the reunions.

Praise the Lord they are

home. Praying for their

recovery and for them 

and their families,

#13

Thankful once again for 

Pres.Trump and his negotiating

saavy and persuasion.

Well, that's it for Cozy

Place this week.  This is the

Pinched nerve edition.  lol

Thanks for dropping by

and

Have a Wonderful weekend.

Love, Hugs, and

 Mid October blessings,

Thankful Thursday October 9, 2025, more Fall decor Part 4

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, 

that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Hebrews 13:15 NIV

Hello  Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you doing better

 than I am. It has been a very

 rough week for me, as I have been

having some back issues that have been far worse, than any I have 

ever had before.  In fact, I am typing this standing up in my kitchen at the counter where hubbies set

up his laptop for me so I could at least check my email and

other things, as I have been trying

 not to sit at the computer as that seemed to make things worse. It is 5:45 a.m. and I haven't slept a wink as I am just in too much pain and can not get comfortable, no matter what I do...........the last few nights I had taken ibuprophen and slept really well,  but was trying to not take it so I could tell how I really was without it in the morning, as today one side  of my lower back was better than the other, so thought I was on the way to healing, but

hoping to get an appt. with a new to me, chiropractor,  that a good

friend recommended. I feel it is sacroiliac problems,  as I have had

that before, and have tried some stretches and stuff which did

help some. This has been going on

since last Friday, but by Monday

it really was curtailing my activities, then seemed to be better 

on Tuesday, and  Wed. until later

 in the day. This has been the worst

day, cause just could not get comfortable  so Really hoping to get in to see the Chiropracter

tomorrow, well today actually.

Pictures today are of some Fall

touches to my kitchen. Couldn't do

much else, but was able to take

a few pictures, and right now

my back feels better standing

here typing, that trying to sit or

lay down.  lol  Probably not

the greatest pics either.

So on with my Thankfuls...

#1

Thankful for a sweet visit with

 our  Son and lil darling Thursday evening.  I wasn't feeling real great

 but after a nap and some food,  I

felt good enough to have them over for awhile.  They always lift my spirits.

#2

Thankful this is the first day

my Daughter has felt good since

her surgery.  Have to say she

did really well, and it wasn't

quite as bad as we thought it

would be, but a lot of soreness

for sure.  She went back for

recheck with Dr. today and he

felt all was good and she still

needs to take at easy for awhile.

  So Thankful for that.

#3

Thankful for family and friends

who have been praying and 

checking in on me, as I have been

laid up with my back for 5 days

now.  I am better but definitely

not there yet.

I love this lil printable I found online somewhere,  I think it's adorable and a bright

spot everytime I come in my kitchen.  If you made it please let me know so I can give 

credit where credit is due..................

#4-10

Thankful for prayers, our

reclining sofa, heating pad, 

alleve and ibuprophen, and

most of all my sweet hubby

who has been so helpful and

good to me.  Also, for our sweet

Son, who was gonna come and

 bring dinner but we had already 

eating earlier than normal, but

he and lil darling came by to

visit for a lil while, which ws

a mood brightener, and for my

sweet Daughter who is recovering

herself, said she could send

me so icy hot via insta-cart 

from  South Carolina. lol

So sweet!! but reminded me I

could use the heating pad!!

Did you know you can do that?

I didn't until 3 yrs ago, when

she did it when we all went

 away to the beach for my 70th birthday, she ordered groceries

from Publix and had them

 delivered to the condo .what a handy

and wonderful thing that is.

#11

Thankful we got to have lil

darling for schooling this week.

Grampy does most of the teaching

anyway, and fortunatley she didn't

have work in one of the classes 

and I was able to do the bible

lesson from the sofa.  lol

She is as sweet as ever, and was

such a bright spot for this

 furloughed  Grammy.

#12

Thankful I have an appt. with

a chiropractor for tomorrow.

YAY,......So happy about that........... 

Well, That's it for this week.

Have a lovely weekend,

Thankful Thursday October 2, 2025, and more Fall Decor #3

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

Good Morning  Sweet Friends,

and Welcome to October.

Can you believe we are here 

already???  Amazing!!!

Not feeling real great this

morning, so gonna make this

opening short.............

Pictures this week are of part 3,

this time our Fallercized

 Dining room with the lovely roses

 I told you about last week.

So on with my Thankfuls

                           #1

       Thankful for the gift of        flowers that bring me, and many others joy and delight, and that God was so good to create them for                     our enjoyment.

 

#2

Thankful to hear today that

the state of Florida is launching

a study on Ivermectin, to see

if it can cure cancer. Wouldn't

that be wonderful, and we can

thank our wonderful Governor

DeSantis for promoting that,

I am sure!!

Can hardly stand the thought 

of losing him as our Governor.

#3

Thankful for a really fun night 

 going out to dinner with our sweet neighbors and their grandson.

 Then we came back to our house

 and had dessert and coffee and we

talked until 2:30 a.m. Think that

is the largest amount of time

we have ever spent with them

at one time.  So lots of laughter

and lots of stories. Fun time!

#4

Thankful they introduced us to

 a new Seafood restaurant, that

 we had heard about but never been to...it  a small Mom and Pop type

of venue, but have to say the

food was great.

 #5

Thankful for sweet and special memories that we all have at times. Our friends/ neighbors grandson,

 who is now 25, and always has been such a sweet kid, seemed so elated   when they came over, as it has been

 a long time since he has been here, and he was saying how it

 brought back so many memories for him, of when he used to come over

 so much when he was younger. He was raised by his Grandparents,

 and guess we might have been possibly like another set of 

Grandparents for him. It really blessed my heart and brought 

back good memories for me too.

#6

Thankful for a good day

in the Lord's house.

#7

Thankful to get my bible back,

Somehow, I  forgot it at church

last  Sunday.

#8

Thankful that Hurricane Imelda

took a turn away from the United  States again. Another answer

to prayer, now Praying it goes

 around Bermuda and does'nt

 hit the Island or cause any

damage.

#9

Thankful for this beautiful song

 by Cece Winans, called

 "Come Jesus come".

Anybody else love it too!

Click here to hear it.

#10

Thankful our Daughter came

thru a minimally invasive 

surgery on Monday, so now

 she just has to recover.  So far,

 so good.

Note: It's the 4th day and she is

feeling much better, and her

worst day was not as bad as

she was prepared for, Thankfully.

That was from all the prayers

from many people I am sure.

Still has recovery time ahead

though.............

         Lil darlings arrangement.

#11

Thankful that someone was

so gracious about a wierd thing

that happened to me on facebook.

I went to like something and

somehow it put an angry face.

I did everything to try and

remove it on my page, but to

know avail,  then I went to

their page and they had 2 of

the same posts, but neither had

an angry face.  So decided to 

just call her, and she checked

and didn't see it, but said if

she had she would have thought

it was accidental. Which made

me feel good. Does make me

not want to leave any emojis

on anything!  lol

#12

Thankful for a sweet and gracious email from someone I thought I 

had offended, and had sent them an email to apologize, and they wrote back a very gracious email and said

I hadn't offended them, and they 

knew me better than that.

Such a relief!!  I think the Lord

has been giving me a quick

course, in how to resolve possible

conflict quickly this week.

Reminds me of this verse in

Romans 12:18

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

That's the lesson and that's the goal.

That's it for Cozy Place this week.

Happy to know you were here

and

Have a lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs and 

First of October Blessings,

Nellie
