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!
