LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

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 in over 3wks. now); ability to form thoughts when I'm so very tired/worn out from fighting to stay OUT of bed and "up" every day; taking a shower w/energy left afterwards; not much cookin going on!; motivation to do housework (doing as I can w/morning energy "burst"); desire to get out n about as  yet; an appetite; taking Ariel for walks~all these things are "normal", everyday routines we tend to take for  *granted* ~~they'll just always BE there. ??
This is NOT a pity party~~I'm past that. It is notification to ALL that life changes, health changes and I'm still praising God for the things I can do, and for the healing that IS taking place.
I am jerked into the reality that ~~change is happening to me. It's a slowed-down version of myself right now. I KNOW there is healing, it already is happening, I just find myself more acutely aware ~~even everyday, routine things we take for granted~~can be interrupted.
I'm stepping back.....looking forward, w/a new appreciation for "the small stuff".
It's a "shake-up" of the mind, folks!!!
**Thank GOD for his beautiful Birds ~~they are such a blessing to watch and enjoy.**

    Oh, I know exactly how you feel. Take your time, take it slow and you WILL get back. It will take some time but don't give up!! One day at a time, one hour at a time if you have to. And keep looking UP! He will hear your prayers and your praises. I love you!!

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
