Sounds very-much like 'I HAVE BEEN THERE'
:praise: that it isn't an every day affair [with the blues, coming to-stay]
Yes, it will be 'swings and roundabouts' ....good days~bad days
but ALWAYS, just one at a time :thumbsup:

My doctors...told me, " use-it, or, lose-it " and
"step through that pain-barrier, it will get easier, with-time"
iow:
our bodies will adjust
blood ~will find 'another way'
The activity..... is what keeps the veins OPEN and our muscles 'supplied'
When they, get the opportunity to 'waste-away'
the 'hills' simply get steeper - the staircases get longer and
'incapacity' becomes a lifetime companion

I very quickly learned, a reason, for the saying
"Little, and OFTEN"
It is just so-true....
~Do whatever you CAN
until it hurts, and then take that one step more
Soon, it will be TWO STEPS MORE and then, THREE
But 'give-up' / 'give-in' NEVER !! (:)hug:))

Hey...what a wonderful song Dave.
There are a lot of hills to climb around here.


There was a time [just a couple of years ago]
when the slightest slope
would reduce my gait to an agonising shuffle [?]
I would pause to let the blood flow back and move on again
It was amazing... to get where I was going [at-all]
'one STEP at a time'
The thing is... if, we are meant to overcome...WE WILL!!!
and if not.... then that, was ALSO meant to be
:prayer: for your comfort and His peace to be with you ALWAYS!!!!
your Bro'

Have a nice weekend everyone :wave:
If you don't see me...
then you know we lost power in the snow storm :doh:

God bless :pray:

:prayer: For everyone of His children
may they see Him when they look up
may they always feel His presence
and know that His comforting arms are all about them
Amen!!
Have a good, [warm & comfortable] Weekend Sis' Gail
:wave:

:hug:

I had an interesting time at the pet store yesterday...a lady wanted to give me a cute, red Pomeranian...it had been a stray, but her original dogs just did not like having a new dog. I declined, we have discussed getting another dog sevral times and we always think, just keeping one is enough for us...then I spoke with a young man who had a darling black Pom...very, very cute and well behaved...he also had a Pug with him...told me he had 4 Poms altogether...then he pulled up his shirt and revealed his mid section which was filled with big tattoos of his dogs...he also had 3 earrings pierced into his nose...wow! The Lord always has me meeting the most unusual folks lately. Lord, I think this guy really needs a Saviour to be his Father...remember him I pray in Jesus name.

Finding Freedom in No _Yes People

Saying No to somebody when we are used to saying Yes
can be challenging as we fear we will be rejected.

... " Many of us, from childhood on, are taught that saying yes is right
and saying no is wrong.
We learn that acceding to demands allows us to avoid conflict and criticism,
please people, earn praise, and prove that we care
for the important people in our lives.
Yet the right to say no is indelibly intertwined with the ability to make choices.
When we sense we are limited in our options, compelled to say yes
even when doing so is not in our interests, we are effectively robbed
of our ability to choose.
Growing out of this tendency to say yes even when we desperately want to say no
can be challenging because we suspect that others will reject us for our assertiveness.
But the reward we receive upon facing this challenge is true freedom of choice.

When others ask you to take on work or do favors, consider their requests carefully.
If you feel pressed to say yes, consider whether you are acquiescing out of a desire for approval
or to stave off disapproval.
Remind yourself often that the ability to say no is an important aspect of well-being,
as it is an indication that you understand the true value of your energy, talents, and time.
As you learn to articulate your personal power by saying no,
you may feel compelled to explore the myriad consequences of the word
by responding negatively to many or most of the requests put to you.
The word “no” may even become your default response for some time.
When you see that life moves forward without interruption, however,
you will grow more comfortable saying no and will resume making decisions from a point of balance.

There is nothing inherently wrong with acceding to the requests others make of you,
provided these requests do not infringe upon your health or your happiness.
Keep in mind that it is only when you feel you have the legitimate right to say no

that you can say yes with utmost certainty, sincerity, and enthusiasm.
While saying yes almost always has a cost, you can feel good about offering your agreement
when your reasons for doing so are rooted in your individual values and your appreciation
for the appeal before you. "
~ DailyOM ♥


Thank you Rosemay
