It’s been a while my sweet friends, I hope you are all doing well. Most of you that follow the blog here are my age or in the area give or take a few years here and there. We know that as we age, trying to keep our bodies strong can be a challenge for many. I sadly am one of them. Maybe it is genetics, or I didn’t look after myself as well as I should have in my early years, or just the way it is. Either way, I do struggle with several issues that I am always working on to better my health. Prayer, being the first on the list, I believe strongly in PRAYER! As you may remember last year my bottom bridge fell out, well the dentist had to pull a tooth under the bridge, then it was downhill from there. Long story short, and over 8000.00 later I have a new one that is awful. I am trying my best to live with it because the thought of taking it out again after 5 times of temporarily being removed for this or that and remade makes me sick to my stomach, truly. The bridge is just ill-fitting and that is that.
The dentist says let’s yank it out and get them to FIX IT? I said no, I am done with that and my BP getting to 214/198 from all those shots to deaden me. So, I am on the mend looking for another dentist that can maybe sedate me. I can not and will not risk my BP ever getting that high and still being worked on again. I know, I know it sounds like poor Debbie, but let me tell you this by the Grace of our God I made it out of that chair and got myself together! It’s going to be ok, and it all works out because of FAITH! On a positive note, Spring is around the corner and no one is happier than I am to see it arrive, it can not get here soon enough. I have worked a little on my front porch, yesterday Mr. Shabby, pressure-washed our white railing and it looks so fresh and clean. I put out the new pillow covers, and a basket for some future plants as the weather warms up a bit more. Funny how little things like that can lift us, is it my age? That just cleaning and decorating the front porch a little made ME feel better? Ahhh, to the small things in life that lift us up, I give you Father, all the glory.
We, Terry and I, from Mama Katt’s Kitchen, have been walking daily at the Lake. I have sure missed it through the Winter months and can tell a difference in my body, sleep patterns, and eating habits. But, honestly she nor I felt safe at the YMCA on the indoor track with COVID, is that not just a crying shame? We lost a year, all of us to this nasty evil thing that took so many lives. We have to look up, pray, and ask God to help us get completely through it and put it behind us as we move forward. I am moving closer to God, asking Him to fill my heart, and allow it to flow through me and out to others in need. We are in some of the hardest times I have seen but, God has already won the battle so what good news. Remember we are still doing our monthly giveaways here on the blog so please enter before you go. And come back and enter daily as you help us keep this blog alive. I am not sure why, but I feel a tug to keep it flowing for now. God bless you as to go into the new week with a smile, love in your heart, and His words to live by.
Love,
Debbie
