    Old age can be challenging. Last friday, Sid and i were out scoping for rocks. Flat rocks for a walk way. 
    I spot, he does the rest of the chore. Its something we enjoy.
    I was on flat groud. I did not pay enough attention to where to put my feet. (I had my walking stick, um, in the truck) The ground was flat, with a big rock here and there. Somehowʼ i lost my balance, started to fall, but blocked myself. (Big mistake.) Friends, I sprained my hip! As in, “sometimes a sprain is worse then a break”. Sid found he could not carry me. He moved the truck as close to me as possible. And, eventually, i was able to get in the truck. 
    But, i had to sit on the running board, (yes, we have one on the truck. It pops out when the door is opened. I sat on the running board, trying to catch my breathe, and was literally going in and out of consciousness, from the pain, as i sat there. 
    Got me in the truck, and, off to the hospital, some 2 and 1/2 hour trip. 
    I had mobility, but, very painful mobility. 
    I seriously prayed my hip was not broken. Really bad news for an 80 year old youngster! 
    An X-Ray and a CT scan later, nothing broken. My right leg was useless. We have crutches and a walker here at home. After falling a couple of times, i learned how to walk, sort of. 
    I am healing. Dr. says it will be a month, and, i will be my old,(old, old) self. I can walk, sort of dragging my leg along. I can get up and down the stairs. I’m still in pain, but I feel it’s manageable. (They gave me all sorts if medications. For pain, muscle spams, and inflammation, etc)
    Iʼve Zoomed a couple of meetings. And, plan to go Sunday. The spasms are gone. Now it hurts, for the most time, just when i move. 
    Sid has been steller in taking care of meʼ, and doing everything in the house. I am being very good taken care of. And, i thank Jehovah for that fact. 
    I am constantly challenging myself. I move around, and do what i can. One gets really weak, fast, not moving around. 
    Watch out for falling, friends. I thought i was. Learned a lesson. I did.

    Well, it happened. Our dear brother died. It was like he was a part of my DNA. I’m full of cherished memories. And so grateful.
    His dear wife can start to heal. Jehovah just had his arms around her. He had cancer all over. I can still hear him saying, “I have a cough worse than Bea Nix.” (I’m known for a dramatic cough of unknown origin)  
    He was a center of our congregation. I told his wife, “He grounded me”. And, that he did!
    Add to broken hearts, he was of the anointed. Talk about conflicted. We knew we’d loose him, but just how.
    This is a special, unique thing I may never experience in my life again. And, yes, Jehovah will help us all to heal😓

    Sad day for my neighborhood. Fire broke out in a home, rescue tried to get the 15 year old daughter out of a window but she couldn’t do it. Overcome by smoke. The father is in hospital. Our brother, Chuck, lives next door, saw the whole thing during meeting this morning. So sad, look forward to the resurrection.

    TODAY we are celebrating our 66th wedding anniversary.
    He has been a faithful Brother for 50 years, a MS who pioneered many years. He is now in hospice in a nursing home so I don't know if there will be a 67th. 😢
    So please celebrate this day with us....💕

    Just finished a Sheparding call with an Elder and the Overseer. Was nice. I was surprised though at the request/offer if I'd like to serve the congregation in a greater way, I was basically being asked on the spot if I could be in the position of a MS!

    Of course, I had to explain the condition of my health and why I couldn't hold such a position, but it was a nice compliment regardless to be encouraged to reach out for such a role.

    Please join me in thanking Jehovah for his loving protection. I had a Major Surgery on Friday.. Was discharged from the hospital on Monday. It was indeed a scary experience. But now I am more convinced that Jehovah isn't just near, he is with each one of us.. Very attentive and ready to show his strength on our behalf. Always trust him.

    Been fighting depression. I’m on the uphill swing now. (Yes, it’s bad enough for me that I take medication) 
    My point is, none of us ever know what, down deep, we are all going through. Except Jehovah. 
    It was harder this time. You know what you are supposed to do Dragging myself to the meetings when I’d just like to stay home, in bed, was, easier when that meant going to the Kingdom Hall. 
    Now, it’s too easy. It’s a matter of not turning the computer on. 
    To be honest, it was scary. The first thing I think is, “Have I done something g to offend Jehovah?”  But, if I keep on keeping on, (no matter what I think, or feel) I eventually surface on the other side of whatever I’ve been going through. 
    I mention this, because I suspect there are a lot of us out there. 
    I know we are I am never alone, but, for little snippets of time, I may feel like it. 
    Thanks for being out there, Dear Family. ❤️
