Forget-Me-Nots Along The Way

Perspective

Monday afternoon, my son, almost 5, and I went to Costco to get some groceries.  On the way there we have to wait through road construction.  It's slow and annoying.  I don't give it much thought...just wait.  My son however had eyes as big as saucers watching the "big machines."  It was as if they were putting on a splendid show just for him!  Every few seconds there was some exclamation over a new discovery.  I love seeing this wonder in my son.  It makes me look at things from a different perspective.  He proceeded to have fun all the way through Costco, skipping along, marvelling at everything.  I enjoyed this time, just the two of us, as it doesn't happen very often.  Then my bubble was burst when the checkout clerk said, "What a big boy!  Are you helping Grandma today?!"  UGH!  Well, I am 40 and I do have very gray hair, but it still makes me cringe everytime I hear it! LOL

My husband is gradually improving.  His thyroid is still hyper and we still have to monitor his heart, but no repeat atrial fibrillation.  They are having a hard time getting his Coumadin level high enough though.  Poor guy is tired of being poked!  He is pretty exhausted at the end of the day at work, but things have been going better than we could have expected.  One of the worst remaining side effects for him is the hand tremor.

I have been really struggling with my asthma.  The Prednisone really took a toll on me this time and I have continued to have pvc's, so I have emailed my doctor to see if I need to come back in about that or not.  So, we could still use some prayers.  I cannot complain.  Through it all God has been so gracious and good.  His people have loved us so thoroughly.  It has been a blessing.  I hope to get back to 'normal' blogging soon!

Theresa, I will keep you in my prayers. I know how much harder everything is when your lung capacity isn't up to par. I'm glad Tim is back to work and will pray about the blood thinner for him. I get mistaken for Jonathan's grandma when Maria is with us. I always tease her by saying, "Must you look so sophisticated?" I dye my hair though, so I cheat! Blessings to your family..........Denise (prairiemom)

Many thanks!

Hello and thank you for posting on my brand new blog! We just moved from southern CA in August to rural upstate NY. Dreams do come true. I know exactly what you mean when you speak about traffic, etc. We couldn't afford a home in CA and we spent four dreary years there. But we remained faithful during this wilderness time, praising God and knowing that His will for us is to give us hope and a future. If someone had told me six months ago that we would be owning our own home in a rural area with all the gardening amenities included, I wouldn't have believed them. It seemed years away. Anyway, God bless and I hope we stay in touch via our blogs.

I love it when I allow myself to be pulled into the wonder of the world. Little ones are great for this. That's cool,Theresa, that you allowed yourself to "endulge" in that pleasure today.

I'll be praying for good health for you and Tim.
