NO PAIN NO GAIN

Another warm day with a cool breeze.

Drove to White Rock to a Native Art Gallery to buy a dream catcher for Ken to take home for a present.  Hard time finding it as it was in the maul.

We are not sure about dad's shingles but will both see a doctor to-morrow.

Having to do painful exercises but I have no choice,

My friend Cathy came by and she is one of those true friends who believe in you and lift you up.

Part of the healing process is feeling all the emotions that we experience.

The pain will be temporary and the gain permanent, so keep up the good work mom.
Did you get out for a walk today?
Why are you going back to the doctor?

WOWSERS! After all you have been through, Beth, here you are back writing on your blog. I didn't expect to see you back so soon, but am VERY happy!
I missed your daily writings very much.
It must be so difficult to type...you must have to use one hand. So don't write if you don't feel up to it.

Are you able to use your

You can dictate on some computers and tablets and it types the words for you....my iPad and iphone both have this. A neat thing to have. When I am calling someone all i have to say is "call Mark" and it dials him for me! Ah these modern things...aren't they great and what a long way we have come since we were young.

Good for you working on those exercises...they sure can be painful but as you say there is no gain without pain. How is the walking coming along? Are you able to go outdoors for a walk?
How is Ken feeling...gosh I felt sorry for him getting sick when he has travelled so far to visit you,



We have been experiencing rainy and humid hot weather which is not very good for the old arthritis....we had a strong thunder storm this morning, just as we awoke and the dogs didn't want to go out....so we just waited for it to blow over and they went out. They are not afraid of thunder as my Parson Russell dog was....but didn't want to go our in the torrential rain.

Today, I will be working in the studio on some new paintings for the Birchwood Gallery in Winnipeg. I think some larger pieces on gallery wrap canvas, acrylic paintings. I just saw a photo in an old magazine of the Canadian Arctic and it was so beautiful....mountains, the sea and two men in a boat...now I am trying to track down the name of the photographer so i can ask for permission to use the photo. I have it all painted in my head already! haha.

Your words are so true...we have to work through all those emotions that come with trauma and accidents....and there are so many! But knowing you, and your positive outlook it will all pass soon.

I wish you a day of little pain and much gain!

Love, Nancy
