  • I Made It Home, Missing Some Strength, But It Felt Great To Sleep In My Own Bed!

    Well I made it home! Not the prettiest of returns as I still can’t make it on and off the toilet without help, (need more strength) but I have a work around. It’s just that my toileting is a little backwards and I am missing strength. I know what I have to do, it’s just a matter of doing it. Now I am waiting for the nurse(to do resumption of care) and my caregiver to shower and complete laundry.

    All of this could be prevented if I could just stand up and use more strength. It’s frustrating to know your own body is betraying you. I guess I just need time to get stronger. I know it is happening at least now I understand what is actually happening. I also realize I overbought items (maybe I will return some to get money back.) Today I would also like to start figuring out my bank account that is a big mess.

    I am missing a good keyword(strength) in this blog post- it’s something I’ve learned to use to get more traffic.

  • Bible Study Everyday! Using the Great Adventure Bible As A New Translation!

    I have really been enjoying the Bible in a Year Podcast. Each morning I am able to follow along using the Great Adventure Bible, I wasn’t going to buy a new Bible, but it seems worth it for the correct translation. I am not sure if I ever did morning Bible Study, but I am enjoying it!

    Each morning I am following various readings and following along in the Bible. I am recognizing the various feasts or offerings. It has been great to study the Bible directly instead of just listening to the Bible.

    I am sure as the year goes on, I will enjoy the readings even more. I can finally see the plan for covering the whole Bible. Right now, I am still waking up and getting ready for the day.

    I hope my Bible content isn’t too boring, as I am still learning how to add more content.

  • The Legacy of An Amazing Grandmother- Francis! She Was Always A Guiding Light!

    So I am trying my hand at Crocheting again- trying a Woobles kit. This time it is Grumpy bear! It’s not the easiest but keeps me doing something. I still have quite the vision of my grandmother ripping stitches out of my crocheting when I was a young girl. She was kinda fearless and made so many great creations including my favorite tree skirt that I thought I lost. She also created a lot of special afghan blankets for everyone- Liked to call them “Nanny Blankets.” They were warm and cozy for anyone to use.

    The legacy of my grandmother is big! She like I said was a force of nature and always just knew where things belonged even if she didn’t see them for a while. It never ceases to amaze that she knew exactly where things were in the upstairs bedroom even if she wasn’t there for many years.

    My Grandmother, Francis, was always getting us to buy yarn so that she could crochet, at the time it wasn’t too expensive so it kept her busy, but now it would be a very expensive hobby. I remember that I brought one of her blankets to Russia to give as a gift to my host family. I wish I had a picture of one of her blankets/afghans to demonstrate her fine detail work.
