Lots of Schtuffs has been happening.  A couple of weeks ago I had a car accident where my car slid off the road. I was not familiar with the curvy road that I was on. It had been raining so the road was slippery. I looked down for a minute and suddenly my car slid off the road.  I was stopped by raspberry bushes and some kind of a rock under my car.  I could have gone off the embankment if not for the raspberry bushes.  A couple stopped to help, and several others asked if any more help was needed.  Police, Fire, and Ambulance came.  I was taken to the ER.  I am OK. The  Doctor said I am probably experiencing some post concussion symptoms--- forgetfulness, memory loss, etc.

 

So, lots of schtuffs.  Yeah, I am down and confused, and scared about a lot of things. But I had this thought today while I was in the shower...I can shower myself.  Shave my legs.  I can take care of myself!  Yes there are struggles… But I need to remember all blessings that I have received.  I am so grateful that I have arms I can raise in praise, I am so grateful that I can walk and even run.  I am Grateful for the clothes on my back.. and the many clothes in my closet and dressers.  I am so grateful ESPECIALLY for my family- My Husband who has been such a good support lately.  He Loves me, even though I am a “mess”! I am grateful for my daughter and grand daughter! I am blessed by them… I am blessed by my son and his family – 2 grand daughters, and 2 grandsons!  I am Very Blessed by my Mother who loves me and prays for me all the time… I am Blessed by my Brothers – Rob’t and Nels!  God has given me lots of pets to love – who love me back unconditionally.  We have a home to live in, that is a nice home.  We have cars to drive (mine is in the shop, and I don’t drive much right now)

 

Does that take away my deep pain and depression?  Well, not really, the pain is deep… However, it gives me an opportunity to look for the good around me!

 

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Ps 118:24
