As I share my   blessings  I am, also,  counting  them as part of the 1000 Gifts    theme from Ann Voskamp!

916.  I am thankful for children who are grounded in God's Word and are not caught up in the maelstrom of the world and its manner of ripping families apart.

917. Praising the Lord for a good result from my kidney  ultrasound.  Nothing  too bad showed up,  hopefully..  Anyway the doctor hasn't contacted me...  and the report sounded  pretty good!

918.  Thankful to be on this side of  my  bad cold and sinus issue that has plagued  these last  several weeks.

919.. Thankful that my ENT is agreeable to test me for allergies  and start a new regimen of shots..  That historically  was what got me through  my seasonal  problems!

920.  Praise the Lord for the good news coming from my cousin who is responding medically  with his  re- curring A-fib problems...  Praying this will hold him for a good long time.. He has had a very dramatic summer so far!  

921.   I am praising the Lord for the beautiful gifts he  gives us every day..  rabbits  scampering through the yard... deer  grazing  through the neighborhood ...  please just stay away from my roses!

922.  I am pretty excited about the unction I suddenly have to  decide to eat better...  I am realizing  a problem I have with a too acidic diet..  So I am  really purposing to  eat more alkaline foods..
Cucumbers
watermelon
avocado
Cayenne pepper (Spice)
bell peppers
spinach
kale
bananas
broccoli
celery
I love all these foods and  I am going to  really push to  have  in every meal!!
What does an alkaline diet  do?
The alkaline diet focuses on plant-based foods. It's naturally low in sodium and high in vitamins and minerals. Numerous studies show the benefits of fruit and vegetable intake aiding in weight loss and decreasing disease risk due to their nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants.Other benefits
  • Promoting weight loss. ...
  • Improving kidney health. ...
  • Preventing cancer. ...
  • Treating or preventing heart disease. ...
  • Improving growth hormone levels. ...
  • Improving back pain. ...
  • Preventing osteoporosis.

  1. I'm glad you are feeling better and that the ultrasound results were good. Good luck on your new way of eating. I am realizing I need to make some changes, too, but it is so hard!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
