Good Afternoon
I say this often because my heartfelt thanks to each of you only grows. How truly blessed I am that God connected us to begin with and has grown our bond closer over the last three years.
all for being a Quacker. I did read all ofyour kind and caring posts from today and as always was touched by the sincerity and support of them all.
I was so blessed this morning to have been able to speak with my dentist, Dr. E. I felt badly about calling because I'm not someone who likes to impose especially on someone perhaps still on vacation. Dr. E was back in the office and was kind to reassure me that patient care is what he's there for.
During the night, I definitely experienced more twinges. Thank God, none truly lasting or consistent just further indication that there is definitely
trouble going on. I am also thankful that so far this is not impacting eating or drinking. I will be seeing him Tuesday morning most likely to have the filling. At this point, that takes priority over the cleaning which will now be the week after. I would appreciate extra prayers from all of you Tuesday morning and thank you for them. I will update afterwards
Thank you Pea and Snowysom
for your concern for my dad. I am extra appreciative of safe outing prayers for him always. Dad won't be returning to that Skechers. He mostly goes to routine places right in our neighborhood. Costco on Monday, about 45 minutes away in Burbank (thriving and good area) will be an exception.
Pea,
for eye healing. Sight is such a precious blessing. Irritation is so....irrirating
Dad has gotten shoes online over the last three years from
Amazon and most recently Old Navy. I'm so glad you were able to get some new
safely from home, too. Grandma often said to, "let your fingers do the walking." Wise words all the more so today! Off Broadway is now out of business, the only shoe store is a DSW in busier Hollywood where the couple times we went to never had anything. I miss real shoe stores! Blue stitching on your shoes sounds very cheerful. Wear them in all good health, my friend. May they provide your feet especially in all the kind care to patients they allow you to deliver, much comfort. Extra hug and thank you for your beautiful and trusting in us all share. God's ways are indeed not of our human understanding. However in all, His love and mercy, very Presence is with us. He is forever on time in a perfect way. One thing for sure is your family are very blessed to have you in it!
Dear Snowysmom, just
along with extra love. ITA with what others have already shared. I especially like the idea of a gratitude/affirmation journal or daily trying to meditate on one. Are you a scrapbook fan? I am, like you, a sentimental lady who appreciates being able to physically look back on positive memories and cards. I pray the spdcial stuffed animals a quilt, I believe, give you an extra, more tangible hug from Chris and always from God. What about writing down or printing out/pasting into a scrapbook a daily gratitude and or affirmation plus a photo or memory that it brings to mind of a happy experience with Chris? I remember at one preschool I worked at, each child had a family book which was a 2 inch binder with maybe 10 pages front and back in sheet protectors that showed their family and memories of happy times. The kids loved sharing these books and when feeling homesick or just in need of extra comfort would quietly look at their book. I am thinking this could be an extra visual way of healing to complement the letters you write to Chris. Truly and always my prayer for you is a time to soon come of a lighter heart all-around, peace, and JOY. Chris will forever be with dear you and so is God! We love you, too.
As two extra additions having just read your latest post, I also loved the box mac and cheese most all my life. Simple and comforting. I was so upset when Kraft ruined the cheese as did Signature Select, Pavilions store brand. To me, there is more often than not much truth in leaving what is well and long enjoyed by millions, alone! Extra hug and prayers that should you feel God's call and connection that one day you will enjoy the extra companionship of a new friend who might be a man. Enjoy your pizza!
God Bless you, PollyannaMom, what a thoughtfully kind person you are which, of course, I knew already! Thank you for making such a caring difference to the young lady who was a helper to you. Love your mac and cheese share, too. Truly is small every day acts of kindness that can make a life changing and often saving in some ways difference. Plus, your son although very young at the time had the blessing of spending time with his young baby-sitter while still having the loving security of you, his mom, present. Definitely a beautiful and kind way to raise a child.
Bobbiwoz and Footballmouse, much
that you both are feeling better!
Bobbiwoz, I'm so sorry you were ill in general, of course, and especially while at WDW
I do hope overall you and Tom had a wonderful time. As I've said before, I wish
Disneyland had a Flower and Garden Festival. I would love to be able to go if they did. Enjoy the beautiful
and topiaries and for me. Safe travel prayers home. Adding what a happy and beautiful group picture. I'm so grateful you and your friends were able to celebrate their Anniversary together, what a special gift extra to them and you and Tom, too!
Footballmouse
, take care of yourself! Yardwork can wait, being kind to yourself and healing to feel better can't! How tragic
Prayers indeed for your son, you of course, too, and the family of his friend most of all.
for you finally getting extra
Lynn! Definitely please send me some of your heat
I hope like dad at the laundromat this morning, all of your laundry and yours as well PollyannaMom went smoothly. May this message find you and Don enjoying a relaxing evening.
Easyas,
cheer big time! I'm so thankful you will soon get to enjoy downtime in Florida. You know whenever you are able to post means a lot to us all but what matters, my friend, is that you are happy, safe, and well. It is so reassuring for me to hear about and also truly believe that this pandemic really has turned a positive corner By the Grace of God. Lynn and B&B should go into house cleaning business together as a side job, you both of them, and all in our Quacker family with yards, ought to go into the gardening/landscaping business together!
Judique,
prices sure have gone back and forth here. Dad pays $4 something at the cheapest station near us. At one time it was uowards near $6. Another sad and wrong example of pandemic pricing. I do hope you were able to fill up
and that your car in general is still running smoothly.
Before this grows longer I will post.
to all.
