Poly Ester? 
 
I should change my name to Nye Lon...

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. 

✈️ to Japan tomorrow... Finally 

Love the new yeartext

I managed to fast for 40 hours this weekend. This is how it went.

Which outline should I pick for my first public talk??
 
62. Where can you find real hope?
 
101. Jehovah the Grand Creator
 
80. Does your hope rest on science or the Bible?
 
19. Your Future - How Can it be Known
 
Any suggestion? 😁👍

I started a forum community outside of JWTalk specifically centered around a low carb/keto approach to health and nutrition. Click Here if you would like to help me jumpstart this effort.

I got "Life of Amazonia" boardgame today (Kickstarter edition) ...so I could be disappearing in the jungle for a while... LOL 🤣 
 

Upgrade = Nightmare! Yes, we crashed for 19 hours.

I fell asleep during the meeting today. Not nodded off. Went to sleep! A good half an hour. 
The WT Conductor came and checked on me. He said, “Good. I was worried about you being depressed”. 
Several came and made sure I was okay. No comments from Bea today. 
I was sitting next to a good friend. She said she got sleepy, and realized I was asleep, and had to stay awake to make sure I didn’t fall over. 
Know how you feel refreshed after a nap? I was that asleep! 
I’m thinking about old people. Yes, old people, and how I viewed them when I was younger. 
Curious. Here I am. Next. b’day, I will be 80. My memory is touch and go. I’ve lost some of my strength, but, I still can work hard in the garden, and outside. I don’t pick my feet up as I should. (We have stairs. They remind me once in a while.) 
And, wisdom? Got to think on that one?
(No, I did not snore. For which I’m thankful. I think my good friend would not have allowed that!

I have been thinking of my brothers and sisters in Canada and the US who are being affected by the terrible fires and subsequent smoke which is spreading so far and contaminating the air. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Stay safe. ❤️

Bro Lawless,your name is really interesting.
Does it have another meaning other than the one I'm thinking?

I just realized that with 5432 members on this forum that equals to roughly 54 congregations based on 100 publishers per cong (on average) Wow! that's big!

Feeling a little anxious lately about the possibility of losing the job I truly love. I'm grateful for the opportunities and experience I've gained from working there, and it's been a huge part of my life for a while now. The uncertainty of what might happen is definitely weighing on my mind. Just trying to stay positive and trust that everything will work out as it should. #trynabepositive
