Random 5 Friday: Winter

1. I am weary of subzero temperatures, 
arctic winds and high mounds of snow.

2. But joyfully, I am not suffering depression nor cabin fever!

3. I had the pleasure of taking care of my two sweethearts, 
Myah and Leannah, for a short time yesterday.  
I am pleased that my granddaughter 
has trust in my being able to handle that responsibility.

4. Yesterday I received a book that I’d ordered; 
it’s called Thirty-Day Devotions for the Holy Souls by Susan Tassone.
I started reading and praying it this morning.

5. We had a goodly number of ladies present 
at our Bible Study this week.  Weather caused cancellations for us in January. 
We rejoiced that we finally got to meet.  
But that was not true for our Women at the Well group. 
It meets at night 
and causes concerns for the safety of us all, 
which is very important. 


for Haiku My Heart-

Wintry weather brings 
tribulations of all sorts,
mounds of snow, iced streets.

thank you, Rebecca, for your kind thoughts. your previous destination sounds heavenly!
be safe out there, it's still rather nasty. low temps here, snow, wind and my bones ache; I'll be glad for spring and warmer weather.
be safe out there; it's been a hard winter, at least it seems hard to me as well. lots of cold, wind, snow, icy, sleet and not nearly enough sunlight.
Tribulations come, but tribulations also go! ;)

I am odd I suppose, but I love the snow, although I know for many people it is quite treacherous. And subzero temps, I could definitely do without those!

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
