Today in our country is a special day, our Thanksgiving. This is a time for families/friends to get together and celebrate their love and their lives with one another. We all have so much to be THANKFUL for --and yet, so often, we dwell on our hard/bitter/unhappy/angry times.
No matter where you live today, take some time to think about your life and all that you do have to be thankful for. May God richly bless each and everyone of you not only on this very special day---but also on each and every day all year long!!!
UPDATE on my Knee/Leg Pain: I did go to the doctor --and am now on some medications for the pain and for the swelling/inflammation.. Once the swelling goes down some (if I am still having problems), I will have an MRI to see what is going on. I'm still hoping that it's just a strain/sprain.... I am taking some time off from Blogging --to work on some Family History while I am SITTING.... I'll be back with an update in a week or two... God Bless ALL of you...
I love this quote: “Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have—life itself.” ~ Walter Anderson
Hugs to all,

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you Betsy. I have you in my prayers, that your knee will be "right as rain" very quickly. Enjoy your down time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your knee heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Betsy, I'm confident of a good outcome for you, maybe a little rocky patch to get there. Gather your strength with this little bit of time off. Your Thanksgiving sentiments and traditions are truly beautiful. And yes we should always give thanks and reach out to those we love and to others.

Happy Thanksgiving, Betsy & George!
ReplyDeleteAbout that knee... sure hope you haven't taken any FQs.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, George and family.
ReplyDeleteHope your knees will heal and start running like Usain Bolt again.
Try using Lemongrass and Deep Relief essential oils from Young Living Oils USA. They are so good!
Enjoy this special day with those around you and cherish every moment as I know you do. Love from across the pond.

ReplyDeleteWow...I'm so far behind on all of my reading...Your header is so fitting! Your home is such a delight any time of the year and this Christmas scene is so very pretty. I also am enjoying your side bar!! Hope your knee is better this morning..Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteSweet hugs
I do so hope your knee is less painful now!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are still in pain. It is hard to find the real problem sometimes when it involves joints or bones. Take it easy and trust things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy, Hope all is fine for you both! Enjoy your deer and bird friends. Hope the weather is not too cold. Have a pleasant day!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!! Your home is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote!!! I've copied it. :)
Hope your knee is just a sprain and nothing serious - take the time and let your body heal it! Good luck on the family history work...mine has fallen by the wayside again to work on Christmas but a pause isn't bad I got a lot of additional things done this round! Happy Holidays to you and George!
ReplyDeleteDon't know how I missed this Betsy. I hope by now that your knee is much better. The MRI might be a good way to go. We need to get you hiking again.
ReplyDeleteRest easy and enjoy your family history. Good that you have an interest that you can do while resting that knee. Take good care and hope you are back dancing soon.
Betsy,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your knee. I sure hope and pray it will get well soon.
I enjoyed your posting about Thanksgiving. I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving and will have a very Merry Christmas.
Sorry to hear you are still having problems but I love your attitude. Hope it improves soon.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting - after a year of health problems for both my wife and I, we are back on the mend and able to do most things we love. Good luck and God Bless
