A Working Back

Monday's post was just incredibly ironic ...

Because I donated blood and passed out cold on my bedroom floor.

I came  down hard hitting the floor with my bed and back.

Since then, my back constantly aches.....it's very difficult - and painful -to move.

So, it makes me grateful for a back that has worked all these years with no trouble.

Now, I get it when people say, oh my aching back!

Mobliltiy

I'm not really crazy about exercising.

BUT, I'm grateful I have the mobility to be able to do it.

Today, I tried to work VERY hard.

I did arm exercises, walked for 1/2 hour, and tried to exert myself.

One reason I do it, is to stave off dementia and alzheimers.

Hope it works.

But, I'm grateful I can still move around freely.

Donna

She's one of the best there is.

A person with no guile.

Just perfect.

She is always wanting to improve herself.  She studies, she walks, she learns, she is generous, she is a role model for her children...she is perfect in every way.

And, I'm grateful to get to be her sister-in-law.

The Temple

Whenever I go to the temple, I am always amazed at how

HAPPY

everyone is...

The patrons, the workers,

It's just a pleasant place to be.

And, I am grateful.

Allen's Life

Allen had a heart incident in church on Sunday.....

He feels sure it was a heart attack....

Whatever happened, he is doing fine now,

And, I am beyond grateful.

HEALTH!

So many people we know are struggling with ill health.

And, boy, does it make me grateful that I am mobile,

and healthy.

Fantastic Weather

Perfect day today.

We planted our first annuals today...primroses; they are lovely.

Our first little white crocus is out.

And, I am grateful.
