Random 5 Friday: My Random 5

 Random 5 Friday
February 28, 2014

1. I am grateful for the successful gall bladder surgery 
on my daughter this past Tuesday. 

2. I am proud of my granddaughter who showed such thoughtfulness 
in providing these services for her mother- she (and her sister)
cleaned her home; Charley also cooked meals to be served in the days 
following her hospital release, and
provided transportation to and from the hospital.

3. I welcome the sunshine and its ability to bring cheer 
to my psyche in spite of the frigid temperatures 
keeping me inside except for only the most necessary outings.  

4. I have started Jonathan Keller’s book Victims on my Kindle.  
One of my friends also received the same book, 
so we’re reading it for our March book club meeting.

5. I am sifting through my spiritual needs 
in order to choose 
what I will do for my Lenten sacrifice.  
One of the devotionals I will use is Lent with the Saints.  

I also ordered 
The Ignatius Workout for Lent: 40 Days of Prayer, Reflection & Action, 
but it has not been shipped yet.  
So I am wondering if it will arrive 
in time for the beginning of Lent.
Here's hoping it does!

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
