Catching up

Time for catching up.  I have been making progress in many areas.  My back and hip are feeling better, as a matter of fact I have been blessed to be able to get back to taking some walks.  I do not know if I will get totally back to the beginning but for now, it is REALLY GOOD to move and walk with my husband again too!

Moving forward with "cleaning out", little by little.  If I do nothing in a day--out of the overwhelming fear of never attaining organization in my home....if I don't just take that next little step and "do the next thing" (I remember that one poem that Elizabeth Elliot had read many years ago about that...) then, I will do NOTHING.  Every day I can DO SOMETHING.  And so I do. I "try" to do something.  Maybe it is putting the laundry away or going through some magazines or craft supplies or one of many "junk" drawers, something that matters.  Got rid of an older style massive "leg press" maching in the tiny unfinished little basement of ours (stilled called the cellar, because it truly is).

I have to come to the conclusion myself, have to come to that place in my mind where I can say "let go now" to certain things.  I made my peace that I have not been able to use the machine I admired and the effort and physical strength is not the same.  After having issues w/my disk in my back, even though I work myself (Lord willing) back into some physical shape again...I am not that same weight lifting- dedicated- fearless-girl I once was.  All about letting go.  I will walk and be fit to certain extents, to what my body will allow now.

Here are my signs of Fall even as I am mingling with Winter and even as I hear some lovely old time Christmas music being played by my sentimental husband.  The glass pumpkin jar filled with candy corn and memories of my grandmother who gave it to me years ago before she passed on.

 And then I leave you with this:

 A Thanksgiving project-in-waiting.
