Count your Blessings.

 


3 generations of BIRTHDAY PARTIES at Chuck E. Cheese... My kids, grand kids and great grand kids.... I'm blessed in so many ways. 


 Looking at my granddaughter standing there holding my newest Great Grandson who is now already almost 2 ~!!!!!~ I feel My life is full and so rich with love. 

 It hasn't always been easy. For me there was quite a dark spell. From stroke to stroke... Life seems to have come back brighter and better than before. I've lost memories, some abilities and there was a long hard struggle without much support. But it pays off. Determination will get you places in life.... I'm able to function now as good as before!    

 I'm glad I didn't give up or quit. ya those thoughts have been there a time or two. Looking at it all now, I'm so glad I kept telling myself "Let's just wait until tomorrow"....... "What can we do to make tomorrow look a little brighter?"

 Before you know it your waking up and ....

 It's a beautiful day! and I'm going riding!

They said the 'S' word again~


 It's freaking cold outside, and they have said there is snow in the forecast.

 I don't mind the cold as it gets cold in October and November. I expect the snow in December and January. But when it starts getting to be the end of February and the Beginning of March ... Temps are supposed to come up and the rains are supposed to pour!

 Not this!

I pray for my horse every day, we both are feeling our age in the cold weather. I make sure she's getting 3 meals a day as to keep the internal temps up... She has an amazing yard with trees for wind protection and a large shelter that she can choose to go in or out.. but it's still cold.

 Major pain in the mouth I finally surrendered and went to the dentist had 2 teeth pulled and have spent the week in pain, not eating and feeling down right miserable. The pain meds were too strong for me so I was throwing up when I'd take them. After a couple days, Tylenol finally worked to sedate my mouth.

 After finding out I couldn't even do coffee without throwing it up, My youngest daughter bought me Jello and Ice Cream. I managed to keep it down and not completely starve to death! 

Bless her heart. 

 The cold doesn't help when your in pain.... 

I'm looking forward to spring ~ how about you? What's the weather like where you are?
