Thank you!

My Christmas present of most importance came early this year. Every year probably for the rest of my life I will have an MRI done of my head. Today I got the results and there has been no changes since last year. Cleared for another year. This is my twelfth year of having this test done. My body has passed through twenty different conditions. Most of the time I think that I handle the stress pretty well, but the MRIs are the most challenging. I am grateful beyond words to be living and functioning in doing the things that I enjoy most. Thank you to all who show me compassion as I struggle. My faith, and especially at Christmas, is the foundation of my life.

Day 21 - I just noticed that yesterday I posted as Day 30, made a quick correction and we are back on track. Last night I was working hard to finish the list of books used for the major current family history project. Today was for relaxing and celebrating. Some very generous people helped me along this road of discovery. Here are the results.

156 Books viewed for a list of surnames - Tidd, Teed, Death, De Ath, Dodman, Mazry, Mazzy, Appleyard, etc., mostly in Virginia and some in New England. One friend has 112 Virginia books and 15 New England books, and 38 had important information. There were 29 books reviewed by a volunteer at the Genealogical Forum of Oregon and 11 had key information. This took a couple of months to accomplish. I am so grateful for everyone who assisted with this project. Now I am patiently waiting for the box of six books from GFO which should arrive on Monday. Miracles happen daily in our lives and I give thanks for those blessings in my life. Look for the miracles happening in your life.

Day 1 I am very grateful to have good medical providers. During the past two years I have worked with fourteen medical providers and have had more testing done than the average person. For the most part I have had wonderful care. Even with all the challenges they face every day they are very kind and compassionate.

 

Day 2 My family is so important to me. We all lead very different lives and we seem to see less of each other. I am so grateful to have the modern conveniences that allow us to talk by phone or Internet. We enjoy watching our children and grandchildren experience life. They are very good to us and have blessed our lives in so many ways.

November 2018 Month of Gratitude

November 2018 Month of Gratitude

November 1

Let gratitude month begin. This is a year of looking at things with a renewed perspective. I am so grateful for my parents and all the good that they instilled in our family. My Dad's birthday is in two weeks and he would have been 84 and Mon's was in September and she would have been 84. Two very kind, generous and loving people that continue to bless our family in so many ways. They always put others first and worked hard to support our family. As we age and face personal struggles we continue to be encouraged to follow these values.
