Thank You God For All Our Gifts

August 24, 2012

It's quite nice outside this morning.  The sun is shining and it's in the 70's.  The weatherman  is promising temps in the mid 80's for later this morning.  We can handle this.  I'm at work, so this may not be a very long post.

Twenty years ago, someone very dear to me was diagnosed with cancer.  Over the past twenty years, she has battled and survived this dread disease three times.   Now it's back again.   I'm praying that she can beat it a fourth time.

This makes me stop to think of all the times I've whined and crabbed.  It makes me realize what a gift is to be able to whine and crab.   I wonder how many of us have ever given thanks for this gift.  I wonder how many of us even thinks of this as a gift.  So, next time you're in a crabby mood, lift your eyes and say thank you.

I stopped taking the cholesterol medicine the first time the doctor told me to take it because I was sick for two days after I took it.   This month, he told me to start taking it again.  I did, and was sick for two days.  Of course, I stopped it again.  Yesterday I gave it another try.  Within an hour, I was sick as a dog and back in bed.  So that's the end of that medicine.  I'll call the doctor Monday, and see if he wants to try something different.

Let me share a couple of bird photos that I took last week here at work.  This first one was taken through the living room window.  Both the sun and the glass have given the photo a lovely textured look.

This second photo was taken through the patio doors.  It's one of the many little sparrows that comes to the feeder. 

Now I must  get busy here.  Mrs is beginning to stir and will be wanting her breakfast soon.  So till tomorrow, Y'all have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Edna B.
