Time is flying by! One more day of April then it is May all over. I was just thinking We need to go to the nursery / greenhouse and get some May flowers!
But first I will recount my blessings of the week!
First of all, since I just got back from myself second therapy of the week, I will share that God is so good! He is helping me to improve each week. My main improvement is the strengthening of my posts muscle which help we stand up straight and give me stability! I am now working on endurance and more stability in the area of balance. It is a terrible thing to lose so much control of the body due to illness and accompanying lethargy! I have learned to keep fighting the good fight!
Last week while the kids were here Amanda and I went to Fleet Feet and I was analyzed for how to correct my feet and shoes. It was a very good thing to do and my new shoes help me so much. I cannot stress loudly enough... bite the bullet, go to Fleet Feet and get sized for good walking shoes. It will make a huge difference for you!! I actually could walk the track after getting my shoes. I need to g et back to the track and look forward to it now!
Last week, Amanda and her family went to a tulip farm and the photos they sent are absolutely gorgeous! At the farm you pay a certain amount to pick some of the tulips ~ the girls deliberating on which tulips they loved the best!
Your granddaughters are so lovely. And I am so looking forward to your trip this summer and I will look into those shoes/Fleet Feet. I have arthritis in my feet...sigh...have a beautiful Friday.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I am so sorry to hear about your poor feet. I understand completely…no fun!nThank you for the sweet comment about our girls,, because they are not bone of my bone I can brag on them too. They are firmed ensconced in our hearts! Oh, yes, I will miss share about our trip on here, but probably not on other platforms until we get back home. Dear Linda my heart aches for you regarding all the hardships and heart break you are enduring! My prayer and great hope for you is for peace regarding your home, furnishings, and inner turmoil. God bless you,sweet friend!Carolyn (SCHOTZY)
DeleteI'm glad you're getting better and eating good foods and doing exercise. I love eating healthy/plant-based and power walking, kayaking, biking, hiking, yoga and low impact aerobics. I need to up my cardio workouts a bit. I have a friend who used to work for Fleet Feet and she swears by them! Your grandgirls are adorable!!! Tulips are my fave flower. Our niece Hanna lives in Scotland with her bf. She met him while in college at St Andrews and they live there now and work full time. I would love to visit scotland one day, That's a good motivator to stay on track with your health!! I hopey ou have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteDear Faith, Thankyou so much for your kind words and encouragement to move, and man, do you ever move! Now if the weather would cooperate more it would be perfect! I hope you get to travel to Scotland, and don’t wait til you are in your 70’s like us. Blessings, Schotzy
DeleteScotland?! What a great opportunity! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures. Great pictures of your granddaughters, you have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindy for your kind comment,. As the time for our trip gets closer I get very excited, but we do still have some planning to do!!! God bless!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much healthy we are when we eat better (more fresh veggies, esp). And I'm glad for you that you are stronger. You will find that you walk MUCH MORE in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteSince we just returned from England, I understand your excitement to visit Scotland! SO many beautiful and historical places to see. (Is Loch Ness included on your itinerary?)
I love the pics of your family in the tulip fields. Your grandkids are soooo cute! Praise God you are feeling stronger and that the therapy sessions are working! The older I get the more I realize how important good shoes are. I don't know the store Fleet Feet being from Canada but we have a wonderful local shop that really specializes in that. Scotland! How exciting. My daughter went to Scotland and loved it!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures of your granddaughters and the tulips are lovely. So glad your health is improving - you'll enjoy your trip to Scotland so much more if you're feeling better. Look forward to hearing all about it.
