SHAKEN, but not broken....

Lamar, this wonderfully sweet, loving, kind, gentle, loving man who has been in my life over 30 yrs.....
This morning he fell!! Tripped, he says. I heard a loud noise, but was unable to get there as quickly as I wish that I had.
By the time I reached him.....he was sitting at the table. .. literally, shaking from this experience. Thank God....no broken bones. He skinned his left arm a bit, but nothing else seems harmed.
When Lamar is on the floor.....he has to get to a surface where he can "pull" up. Then he gets back onto his feet.
I haven't been giving thanks like some on FB this month. However, today I AM.....I  truly  THANK GOD that Lamar didn't break anything!!
This household could NOT proceed successfully w/o him. He takes tender, loving care of David (his brother) after his stroke. All the physical duties go to Lamar.....
Lamar also helps me.....he washed their clothes this wk. while I went w/David to PT. He does soooooo much around here.Lamar often surprises me w/thoughtful things he does to help.
I'm sure God's loving arms were around Lamar this morning......and I  AM  very thankful.
(where Lamar "stumbled" seemed to have no visible "obstacles"......yet, it still happened!!)
There are blessings and miracles every day of our lives....this was just one of those.

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"......

Image
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
