My wife and I took a drive out to our Wildlife Refuge last evening. We were at first disappointed because we saw very few animals (1 longhorn, 1 buffalo, and some prairie dogs). So, we started for home and spotted a herd of buffalo on the other side of a hill. The next thing made the entire trip worth it. We saw a car stopped in the road and had to find out why they stopped. My wife pointed and said, "look at the deer". I first didn't see it, and then it went out in the middle of the road. This isn't the good part yet. Her baby was waiting for her on the other side of the road. The baby couldn't have been older than a couple of weeks. It was a beautiful picture, but we didn't have our camera with us. We just give thanks that we were able to see them.

I wish everyone a great weekend. SMILE - it's contagious.

No camera .... no pictures boo hoo

Hi all, I have peeked in a time or 2 here. Had a slow day yesterday as one side of my throat was very sore...very painful...it is much better today. I have been doing some rearrangin of furniture so I can be more comfortable sitting with my pc...had to test some things and make adjustments, but may be in a settled place now.

Not much new here...the heat of summer is expected by the end of this week...O dear...wish i could escape this season.

Sang a news song in church Sunday...new at least 4 me...here are some of the words.

 

[davedajobauk]

Get well soon Shirley Sis'

[angelwind]

Get well soon Shirley Sis'

dave

Guess this is true Dave...I was reminded of James word about letting patience have its perfect work...o, yuck, sometimes...like yesterday this really helped me to get thru the day...believing god was doing something good in excercising my patience...He sees something i don't see as yet.

 

[davedajobauk]

Yes, Shirley Sis'
I too have so-often had my eyes opened wide
and, could see that His works of love, would really flow so freely
and everything, would fall into place like no other could arrange it, so-perfectly

Having no-control [personally] over the behaviour of others
I would see their efforts to bring me down, waived aside
as then, previously unseen truths were revealed and my steps became safe and sound


I 'found' time, to look around and to observe, all of the facets of my life
that together, were the environment I existed within
and watched [amazed] as each became recognizable blessings
~of little monetary worth, but in their own way, each, was a treasure to behold

Back there in Bristol, when the boys weren't visiting, I had to fetch my supplies myself
With two crutches would summon a taxi to take me to the shopping centre
I would shop with a trolley and take a taxi home again
My apartment was on the first floor [two flights of stairs]
and when I had hauled all of the bags upstairs, I would sit there in my recliner and 'ache-away' ...
'feeling sorry' for, my condition brought no relief ... [?]

Anti-inflammatories, I'd been taking for about a year then brought about
rectal bleeding,
so those were unprescribed very quickly

An aqquaintance [fellow member of a forums I visited for several years]
introduced me to a 'friend' of her's that was having computer problems
and 'helping-out' I became distracted from my own day to day condition
which was when, I became [then] aware, that I was now, looking 'outside of ' myself

Before, becoming 'so-aware', I had been wrapped in thoughts that included;
how very short-lived, my prospects seemed to be [then]

Once my attention was 'distracted'
new possibilities then queued for more attention than I had allowed them [before]
and this, was a life-changing discovery

It was as if a 'door' to recent and old past had been shut
allowing me to focus 'ahead' and, more-importantly, upon others



Ecclesiastes 3... speaks to me, on most days

Everything, has it's time and it's place in our lives

Hello Everyone,

I hope that everyone is having a great week. My wife and I were down one day, feeling bad, and we missed one trip to the gym. We got back on our regular schedule today and just came from our workouts. I know it's doing us some good, but the progress does seem to come slowly.

I don't like the slogan, "no pain, no gain". I see no purpose in putting yourself in pain when you can do things in a more moderate manner and get the same results (eventually). I think that some people are impatient, do too much, and either burn themselves out or injure themselves. I do like the slogan, "use it or lose it", and it seems wise to start slowly and carefully - progressing a little bit at a time.

SMILE - it's contagious.

Amen Dave, everything has its time and place, and He truly does work everything for good...in the long run. I saw a little something new last night abiout jesus...old, but more, new light on His humility...being God, He has a great deal of patience...especially with me.

I think this way too Tom...if i push my pain levels too hard, I just break something...yet must keep using what i have or lose it...takes some trial and error but I get on pretty well with aging gracefully.

I see this is another great thread to check out more often, too, and get to know more about what is happening and how members are feeling.

Wishing you all a very Positive day and thoughts that will bring peace and joy!

I'm off to a good morning of prayer, meditation, and thankfulness to God.

We arrived at the hospital this-morning with 35 minutes to-spare ~before appointment
So I took Mary into the hospital cafe and bought her a tea
We then, wandered along to the cardiorespiratory department and got me signed-in
Some twenty minutes later I was summoned to a side room and was asked to remove my shirt
I had to sort lay/sit on my left-side with my back to the operator
who attached three cardio ribbon sensors to my chest and she then proceeded with the examination

After perhaps 30 minutes of rubbing this ultrasound handset around my upper left chest
she also examined my ileac area ~just below my sternum, pressing DEEP, into my abdomen
and also, my throat area, around that carotid calcified blockage

I will now, await my 'copy', of the report to my doctor, concerning their assessment, of the results

Thank you Luba Sis'

It seems, I will be having the 'echocardiogram/graph' 4x each year
to monitor the proficiency / efficacy of my heart meds
Any failure of these meds to alleviate symptoms
will they say, put me on the table for "surgery"



one day at a time

This is life as a senior now...we all seem to have such different conditions...but frequent visits to drs is normal...I will be taking my friend Lori to her surgery next week...she had the infected cyst on her face...it has healed well, but still will get it removed/per dr's advice.

Dave I am so glad you are still with us...and hope you have many more active years to come. (((((((hugs)))))).
