January 2, 2014

The New Year is still quite new.. It does have its comforting moments.  Being sidetracked with acute Asthmatic Bronchitis is not one of them.  From my asthma guy this morning, I got a steroid shot in my hiney, a breathing treatment, a box of steroids to take, antibiotics, Musinex, more inhalers, and a warning to rest for 3 or 4 days if I wanted to stay out of the hospital...3 or 4 days...r u kidding...it has been 11 hours since our visit and I am not well yet!!
 However, .. as Mr.O is resting in his recliner, the now, scaredy cat Mrs. O is obediently resting in hers...the old folks, you know.

Today's comfort...
# 1, My sister who took care of the children along with Drenna....the best.
# 2.  The beekeeper, Herb and the beekeeper's wife, who gave the special honey, guaranteed to speed recovery in most any situation....
#3.  Julie, who had volunteered to bring food for us tonight...and showed up with yummy spaghetti with a story, no less...how is that for cheerin' up sick folk...
Love, in all forms...
My man wants my sister to take down the tree tomorrow, but I say no!  When I am resting by the tree, the ornaments bring comfort with great memories.

Here's to remembering gratitude on January 3 and every other day.

Oh, and this one...tops the list....  My miracle 92 year old mother who insisted that I buy her a chocolate doughnut when I met up with her in Walmart last week.  She was ahead of herself on the New Year thing as she is with most..Love you Mom.

At the 2012 Quilt Festival, I heard a lecture by Lynn Roddy Brown (if you ever have a chance to hear or work with her, do so!). She is a wonderful speaker & the thing that nearly made me weep during a very entertaining talk was her saying, "To be a caregiver, you must first take care of yourself."

Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon, you've got some magic medicines - honey from a friendly beekeeper and special spaghetti, they're sure to help. Take care. It's a wonderful photo of your mom , celebrating the new year with a chocolate donut.
