Bits and Pieces of Day One of the New Year, 2014

Wednesday, January 1, 2014
After I ventured out today, 
I made shopping stops at Dollar General 
to buy items that cost lower here than anywhere else, 
then Lowe’s for potting soil and sunflower seeds for the birds, 
lastly Walmart for a few groceries and nonfood items.
At home, I put things away
 and potted the cedar ‘tree’ gifted to me from Lowe’s.  
(The tree was the reason for the potting soil purchase.)  
Next, I cut an apple for my lunch.
Lastly, I tended to banking, 
read some blogs, then sat down for some serious chillin’!
My bit of gratitude: 
I’m grateful for all those ladies 
in Bible Study and Women at the Well 
who contribute to my spiritual welfare.
Thank you, ladies.  
May the new year shower blessings on you and your families! 
This image is a greeting card which I scanned,
then added text.

a blessed New Year to you Nonnie - may we always have the courage to allow the new into our lives and to allow change to take place. Thankyou for my Christmas card - it arrived the day before New Year, so it was a two-fold message of love! This is our annual hiatus here - the schools close for two months and many businsses close, so the mail is very slow! love to you

thank you, Hetienne! I'm grateful that the card arrived while it is still with the 12 days of Christmas. Here in Indiana, students have two weeks of winter break, have to be politically correct, you know.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
