I have spent the past year making "home improvements", improvements to my ever lovin body, and our home. We had a fire, which had us relocated for a period of time while the home was being rebuilt, and because of my age I am guessing, my body needed a little work done. So I took the time out of my 'Something Better', and allowed doctors to improve me.
Now I couldn't be happier, most of the time.
My granddaughters are beginning pre-K today. Yes, Pre-K! My daughter had an awakening, and is so spiritually on fire, the Glory that God is raining on her, nothing short of a miracle. Even my husband is impressed! My son has begun his own awakening... he's quit smoking.
The world seems to have turned upside down though. The heat that we experienced for the summer season has been HOT... The prices at the gas pump have risen off the charts, and the presidential election between Obama and Romney seems a political game so corrupt that the nonsense caused me to stop watching the news.
The one thing that always remains the constant in my life, my husband of 35 years, and walking. After getting out the hospital, my only exercise is walking and stretching. Putting one foot in front of the other. Raising my knees to allow the quadriceps muscle feel the heat, circulate the blood, get pumped, because this is the rest of my life.
I received my second iPod, an Apple iPad Touch, and the technology blew me off the page. The clarity with which I see on my screen, whether it's shoes, handbags, fashion, or a YouTube video is nothing short of miraculous. I was so captivated by the iPod Touch, my husband then purchased an iPad for me! Really. I can now say that Bill Gates vision is renaissance! I love everything about the apple products, from packaging, plugging it in, to turning it off and on again; and one day hope to replace my personal computer with a Mac.
My favorite hobby is still going out and taking photos, spending time outdoors whether walking or working in the yard, and knitting. And I am good; but writing remains my love.
If I could sit here and write words to lift your spirits, I would, because not giving up is just that. Lifting your countenance; Our Father, does that for me everyday. And when I thought there was nothing left in me to give, my spirit was quickened with the words, 'Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee' Psalms 119:11.
