Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Christmas!

Long time no write - sorry!

Hi all,

I have been focusing on my recovery from my surgery in the beginning of November and I have to say I am doing wonderfully!  Just celebrated a wonderful birthday with my family yesterday and feel truly fortunate to to have all the wondrous gifts I have been blessed with.  I am truly believing and feeling the spirit of the season and take every opportunity to "pay it forward".  I know I've said this before but what you give is what you get and I am reaping the rewards a wondrous feeling.  

Saturday morning I made a point to view the "lunar eclipse" and was graced with the appearance of not one but two shooting stars and felt it was a sign.  I have to say it just made me smile and, once again, be thankful for all that I have.  It's the little things....................... wishing you and yours some the little things too!

Thankfulness!

I am thankful for….

… you, my readers.

… my two jobs - one working with my staff and another where I get to use my creative talents. 

… for my three dogs who love unconditionally and greet me with a wagging tail no matter what kind of day I've had. 

… for my friends who always seem to be there just when I need them

… for my family who loves and, currently, cares for me.

… my husband, who has been there for me through thick and thin.  

Any many more things to numerous to list - I am so much to be thankful for.

Creatively yours,

Hi all,

Well I have to admit I'm a little disappointed in the slow pace of my recovery! I really thought by day 14 post op I would be walking unassisted but that is not the case:(

I must be more patient with myself after all my hip has been giving me problems for years. And I do believe in the story of the tortoise and the hare and slow and steady wins the race. And I am not competing with anyone here is if time is what I need time is what it will be.

Wishing you well and a non hectic Thanksgiving!

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well it's day 12 post op and I'm getting better each and every day!  I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.  How about you?  Remember to make each and every day count!

Day 7 Post Op - Thankful for you my readers!

Hi all,

Well, it's now day 7 post op and I'm getting better each and every day.  I still need to use the walker to get around which is frustrating to me because I went in walking without any assistance and I've come out needing a walker.  However, I've been sleeping almost 10 hours a night which I'm sure is helping the healing process.  I'm thankful for you my readers and appreciate all the well wishes.  Take care of yourself and make sure to make each and every day count!!
