It is early in the morning...well not now though it is 5:15. I got up at 3:30 this morning and I get a lot done and then sometimes go back for a rest a 6:00 until 7 and get busy on my day. I have to say I am content for the moment of where I am. That could be a good or a bad thing. With being laid up and out for nearly a month and a half it has been hard to get back into the swing of things on a run basis but every day I am healing from my injuries. It takes time and I need to take it so that I can get stronger every day.
While reading about the people in the Old Testament especially the prophets though they were persecuted because of what they knew to be true, they stuck to doing what Heavenly Father asked of them and never backed down. With my natural woman characteristics I want that same conviction to be happy where I am but to work at being better every day. If we berate ourselves that mentality sticks with us and we aren't moving forward....we are at a stand still. Take from your readings the important things that will give you that stick-to-it-ness to keep the obstacles from blocking your successes.

CHOICES
It has been sometime since I have written....it is already November 2nd election day. A lot has happened with some of my choices: one in which laid me up for sometime with not being able to do a lot having missed a step at 4:30 in the morning to go exercise. The thought was on my mind earlier than that. I was so grateful for my body and how each part works together to help me breathe, walk, think...it was going to be a great day. It was a Monday morning the 27th of September and I was eager to move my limbs. However not in quite the way I anticipated...missing the bottom step to the landing, spraining both ankles and a fractured 5th Metatarsil bone in my right foot.
Okay, I had my prayer, got dressed, had an option of what shoes to wear....whether to turn the light on or not....not wanting to wake anyone up. The first thing I did was yell for Cliff out of a dead sleep to come help me. Jacque heard me fall and asked Spencer to get up and help me. Oh, no....I was in so much pain I couldn't walk on any foot.
I cried all day long. Anyone called, I cried. At that point I didn't think I would be doing the things I wanted to accomplish...would be put on hold....for how long; at least 6 weeks. Well, now that it has been six weeks I am doing more but my foot is still swollen and bruised. Rexene brought me an ice thingy to put on my foot and when my foot is extremely tired I go up and read, watch tv for about two hours changing every 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. I have been on it for 4 hours and I am going to have to take a break.
Lois Middleton came to see me and after I told her what I just told you...she said you could look at this accident two ways. Perhaps Satan is saying okay she is so appreciative of her body lets give her a trial and will she still be grateful for her body and/or maybe I have been serving many in and around me...maybe they need to learn to serve you. Think what you will!
I am a survivor. I actually did exercise every day in which involved my upper body strength...walking with a walker back and forth to the bathroom, to the doctor and around the upper part of the house in which I should have stayed longer. This too shall be past and I will be better for it.
