I'm back to daily posting, and I can see my mood lifting already. I'm still dealing with a cold and other health issues. I was going to do a nifty chart, but Suzette noted that she just typed what she did and I kind of dig that more. In the long run, it's more work, but I like to blab about what I do and take credit for my little victories where my health is concerned. All of it is ultimately in the hands of God as is everything in my life. But this blog is for celebrating my blessings and coping with my disappointments when the blessing aren't as easy for me to recognize. Sort of spiritual/health refrigerator for me to tack up my latest finger paintings of all the things I have to be grateful for.
Yesterday I'm grateful that I got to:
• Practice Walking for Half a Mile!
• Read a Chapter from a Spiritually Enriching book
• Meditate
• Eat 5 full servings of fruits and vegetables
You know what I realized returning to this blog and the Shredder Council? That my first 14 day mission goal was to not use my walker and walk to the kitchen to make my own coffee. And with an exception to the airport flight when I had use it a little before they brought my wheelchair, I haven't use it AT ALL. It's all the way in garage. I not only make coffee for me and my sister every morning, I can stand to wash the dishes without even having to take a break. All that time in the Philippines where my Mom had to bring me meals in bed. You know what? I've made dinner for Edie and me so many times since I've been back, I can't even count. I carry the plates and everything.
Pretty damn cool.
