How beautiful, Marilyn. That's a lovely thought for today.
Linda and Judith, thank you got your good wishes, hopes and prayers for the success of my treatments. It will be a couple of months before we know if things are settling down. Yes, the Physio treating my neck is Colin's Physio, Alicia. She's really good at what she does. For the hand I have to go to someone else at a specialist hand clinic. The pain is stirred up a little today so I think Alicia knew what she was doing. She told me to go easy on the simple exercises she gave me if they caused pain, so I am taking notice and have backed off on the repetitions.
Happy birthday, Linda! I hope you have a fabulous day. It's lovely to do some reflections at this time.

Marilyn - that is a beautiful thought - I sometimes let my fears stop me from having the adventure that God has planned for me.
We looked at the weather report for tomorrow and discovered that the previously predicted rain over the mountains will now be 6-12 inches of snow so we will not be traveling to Denver. We hope things will be better for Friday to travel. My husband has a doctor's appointment on Monday so he needs to have blood drawn for his medication refills. Since they need to be done three days before the appointment, He will need to be fasting while he is driving so he can get the blood drawn Friday afternoon. It would have worked out better if we had left tomorrow so he would not need to fast so long but there is a purpose for everything. He will be able to eat breakfast at 4am then fast for 10 hours until we get to Denver.
It is cloudy today and rain is predicted here in GJ. Sometimes the rain evaporates before it hits the ground since we are so dry so it will be interesting to see if we actually do have rain.
Prayers and love to you all. 💕0 -
It's good how things work well to allow you both to do the things you need to do, Linda. I hope everything is done easily and smoothly on Friday. Coincidentally, I also have a fasting blood test to do Friday morning.
Marilyn, I also liked your last image. When I was a teenager I belonged to a group that used to go caving. A daylight cave is just like the picture you posted describes. It's a beautiful thing to discover.
I took the dogs to be clippered today. They look so cute.

Susan - I also used to go caving when I was in college in Kentucky. Looking back on it, we probably should not have done some of the caves we did because we could have gotten stuck or lost. Some of the areas were so small we had to crawl on our stomachs to get through them. I was much skinnier then. I know I would not be able to do it now and besides that, I am a little smarter now and would realize the danger so would not do it.
We have our "Men and Women of Influence" Bible study today but furtunately we are meeting at someone else's house. With thinking we were leaving for Denver today, it seemed to be too much to do to have the study at our house then leaving after it only to arrive after dark at our other house so we changed our meeting place the first of the week. Now that our plans have changed, we could have done it but I am feeling really tired and am glad we moved it. I had a headache yesterday and went to be early last night and slept late this morning (9 hours of sleep) but am still tired.

Linda, I know we did dangerous things in those caves. Once our whole gang went into an unknown passage and we couldn't find our way back! It took hours to find the exit that was in deep shadows. Like you, we took many other risks I would not take now. It was exhilarating at the time and I am glad to have the memories. They were fun times.
Marilyn, thinking of you and hoping you don't feel too alone right now.
Judith, thinking of you too and hoping you are alright. I know fatigue gets on top of you a lot.

Thank you Linda for Clarifying everything. Yes, it does seem we follow each other a lot, I totally understand, just happy you are here supporting us all. I hear you about Life Issues, yes they do change things and change us and for the better. You are so lovely and kind showing everyone you come in contact with the Love of God! You have such Godly Characteristics that always Glorify God! I missed your actual Birthday in which I am so sorry! Happy Birthday 🥳 God Bless you ❤️
Thinking of you Susan and Colin, prayers are with you.
Marilyn, my prayers are with you…
Blessings all, see you tomorrow 🤗0 -

Judith thinking of you too.
Marilyn, isn't it wonderful that music can touch us.
Linda, hope all is well.
We're having a quiet day here, unless our octogenarian friend needs a ride home from hospital. Oh, we also want to go birthday present shopping for three of our grandchildren.
Blessings on you all.1 -
Welcome Helen! 💟🌼💐 I hope we can get to know you better as you post on the threads,
We had a safe trip across the mountain into Denver today. We had a few showers but no snow that was predicted. My husband did well with not eating any snacks due to his blood draw. I did get him breakfast at 2am so he didnot have to fast too long. Even with eating at 2am he still fasted for 12 hours. When he has fasted before, he can get pretty shaky so I prayed that he would have strength. I worked because now he is out mowing the lawn. It is really high since they have had a lot of rain over here in the past week.
Susan - I am glad Colin's lungs are cleared. I still will be praying for the shoulder. The body had different rates of healing so maybe his shoulder is slowing down a little and will speed up later.
We had our Preying Mantis eggs hatch from the egg case this week. We had about 200 babies but they were gone quickly looking for food. We still have two more egg cases but we may not see them hatch since they are in my flower beds in Grand Junction.1 -

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and mother figures out there in the world. It was good in church this morning that it was emphasized that you do not need to have given birth to still be a "mother" to people. I have a friend who really wanted to be a physical mother but because of physical limitations this was not possible. Mother's day just reminds her of losses or failure to fulfil her dreams. I am so sorry for her grief. I also think of the people who have just lost their mother in the past year and are still missing them. It can be a hard "holiday" for some people. I am grateful for all the years that I did have my mother here to celebrate with her.
We will be celebrating with all three of our children this evening for Mother's Day. The children's spouses wanted to celebrate their wife as being the mother of their children so they did that after church today. I am making a beef roast in the crockpot and the other family members will be bringing other food to the celebration.

Glad you enjoyed Mother's Day, Linda. Our church gave us tokens to help celebrate it. I heard from two of our three children. And we had a BBQ with our neighbours. It was a nice day
My hand is feeling sore so I won't type much today. Maybe tomorrow.1 -

Hope your day was blessed as you Celebrated your Special Day with your Family! 😊
My day was blessed with my Daughter and Family and my Son and his wife, we all had a beautiful day together! I was spoiled with 2 Hanging Baskets filled with Gorgeous flowers, homemade soup and a treat from Starbucks, London Fog Tea Latte and a Vanilla Frappuccino! So spoiled I was.
Susan, such a beautiful card you made. You and I did the same thing today, you had a BBQ with your neighbours and I joined my kids for a Mother’s Day BBQ Lunch. Nice your church honoured the Mothers, our Church does the same and in past years they have given us Flowers and another year we got a small Devotional one you could carry in your purse to read when you had a moment like having a coffee break at work etc. so glad you heard from your children, sorry they live so far away but it’s nice you can stay in touch via phone. I am so sorry to hear your hand is so sore, my prayers are with you that you will be less in pain and tomorrow will be a better day for you! 😊
Linda, so nice your Church does that to honor the Mom’s and those Ladies that are Mom’s to many in the congregation, I so agree one does not have to give birth to be a Mom, we have a few in our Church who have become Mom to many of our dear single gals who don’t have a Mother. They are such a blessing to us all. It was so nice you gathered with your Family for a nice dinner together; 😊 something like my kids did, we had a BBQ Mother’s Day Lunch, everyone contributed to the BBQ lunch, the kids enjoyed and I enjoyed my Starbucks and homemade soup. My daughter in law makes her soups from all her fresh produce they grow on their land. 😋
Marilyn, I really like the quote on “Courage” yes I so agree; Courage says I will Try again tomorrow!
Indeed. We can always Try…😊
Blessings on your evening! See you all tomorrow! 🙏😊0
