today’s feelings lead to productive action
feeling clear-headed so i did my reading in proverbs and finished the book.
feeling stable on my feet so i took a small walk. boy are my calf and lower back muscles sore.
feeling grateful so i praised god in song and wrote thank you notes.
feeling like i want to share my life so i posted.
i know we are not supposed to be led by our feelings, but in today’s case, i think it has served me well.
it has been a full day of activity and several naps. thanks so much for everyone’s care and prayers.
it has been 19 days since i broke my shoulder. 5ish more weeks and i can drive because my shoulder will be all healed.

So glad your starting to feel better, but wow, I didn’t realize it was so long before you could drive. Let us know if you need a driver. We are pretty flexible.

What a wonderful way to make your way through the ordeal. Attitude is everything (and praising God). You can do all things, my friend. Much love, and keep it up!

the first two weeks were pretty much a blur, rachel, because of the pain and pain meds.
now that i am getting better i have some to-dos that keep me busy. my walks get me pretty tired so i also nap a lot still.
thanx for your prayers. i hope we can still have a baking/cooking date before you go back.
