Dear Friends,
A couple of you may have wondered why I haven’t been posting, others may know why. My absence began six months ago when our rambunctious two-year-old Rottweiler ran after his almost three-year-old Golden Retriever “nephew” and accidentally proceeded to mow me down. As “Dog” ran up the driveway behind me at breakneck speed, I never saw him coming. Possibly that was a good thing?!
My most serious injury has been to my right arm and elbow which left me unable to use my computer for more than a few minutes at a time! I just finished PT and am doing much better but am still limited in what I can do. So – I am starting back slowly.
This event brought back lessons of my past, which sat back in the recesses of my mind – unused for a while.
Sometimes we forget how important it is that we live in the present. We can wear ourselves out revisiting difficult moments of the past. And focusing on our fears of the future can be debilitating. When we live in the present, God provides us with the strength, energy, courage, and grace to live through whatever today may bring. That is where I have been for the last six months!
If tomorrow proves to be a greater challenge, God will meet us right where we are. His grace comes perfectly timed – each and every day. Be Blessed!
I’m glad you are recovering and hope to hear from you again soon. Your message today was thoughtful and I hope you are blessed as well.
Hi Donna
I am so sorry to hesr about your injury. But as usual you are handling it with faith and grace. Such an amazing and resilient person are you! We are back in Massachusetts for the summer. Didn’t get to the beach as often last season as in the past so we missed seeing you and John on the road! (Although maybe you didn’t get there much either because of your injury???) Hope all is well otherwise with you, John and your family. Best regards and enjoy the summer.

Amen, Amen, Amen. Funny but I’ve felt the same way about the past 6 months-the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But, as always, you perfectly framed how lucky we are Life is a blessing and a “one day at a time” process. You go girl-your strength, tenacity, and wisdom continue to be an inspiration. And hug your pups!
Thank you all for your kind words and warm wishes! It feels wonderful to be back and have your love & support.
Missed You!
You too, Sal. It was great seeing you when I was up in CT. Hope to see you soon when you are in FL.
Donna Diaz said it well. So glad you are feeling better. This has been a busy summer moving but God has been in the details when I make myself stop and listen. So good to hear from you. Blessings and be well. Lovingly Diana
Thank you, Diana. Hope all is well with you.
