SEVERE

 A picture of a picture at the art Gallery at Chilliwack.

This is how life began for me as I was blessed with each one of my children.  You forget the pain and a lot of the process but you never forget when you hold your baby for the first time.

I know that at Christmas the miracle is mother Mary holding baby Jesus with daddy Joseph protecting them and loving them both.

I was more worried than dad (I think) as we visited the doctor for the results of the CAT Scan  but both of us heard the word severe and our minds got stuck on that word.  I am thankful we will be getting more information on Monday. At this point we are not worrying.

I wonder if a change in life style could be helpful for dad.  I know when I was told no more wheat I knew the problem was severely affecting my health and that I needed to change.  I started out extremely careful but along the way I would slip.  Now I am trying to be extra careful, annoyingly careful, which has helped my nausea a lot.

Now we know and will be learning more we can put an action plan into action.  Health is so important and stress and worry is one of the big things that robs us of energy.  I know I have been focusing in my mind on what the future may bring.  I am thankful that we have a supportive family and good medical attention.  We can even get a second opinion if necessary.

It all comes down to exercise and diet and right thinking.  For me that means setting a definite time for my walk and always having some snack things with me when I get very hungry and easily tempted.  I know my thoughts are a little confused and I forget things.

 

We  also need to be aware of what we can do to prevent climate change which I think may be speeding up.  The strange warm weather makes me wonder.

Prayer helps me especially when I worry about dad or my children all of them from the youngest to the oldest!  The grandchildren and the great grandchildren.

Our thoughts are with Sandra today.
