Dreams DO Come True

Many yrs. have passed and now my dream is fulfilled...I have an updated, CLEAN surfaces, storage area, new shower insert, Hi-boy toliet, freshly painted new walls,well-lighted bathroom. There is NO comparison now to what I lived with for over 25yrs.

Old vs New -- Old had paint peeling off walls, only 2 bulbs over the sink, MOLD all around the shower!! It was totally embarrasing & not a pleasant place....New one has all NEW fixtures (brushed nickel), new combo shower head w/like "rain" head & hand-held, freshly painted walls, 3 light set over the sink & overhead light (NEVER had before). Now have storage for all my fun bath gels in drawers & built-in shelves inside shower insert...how wonderful!!

My hero is my son, Eric....he did all the work. It has been a very exhausting, aggravating plumbing & electrical challenge ALL the way thru!! He is very detail oriented, determined & smart, too. The challenges were overwhelming at times, but he got it DONE.

I took my 1st shower tonight & it was absolutely fabulous!!! The room is pretty, all is new & I am very happy w/the results. Guess that's my birthday,mother's day, Christmas,NewYear's, Valentine's day all rolled into one HAPPY event.....

The best outcome is that Eric&I managed to get thru this with no bloodshed!! lol   It has been an amazing journey from dream to realization that it is actually DONE.............

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
