Sunday Seven.....Gravity Lessons
1. Seems like Mr. Wonderful and I have been carrying around a lot of emotional baggage lately. We did not realize how tired we both have become till this weekend. Sure hope we decided to put some of this luggage down soon!
2. Good News! I'm finally through with physical therapy! Bad News: It doesn't look like I will ever get full function back in my knee. Gravity definitely has a way of pulling you down!
3. Some times there just isn't any good way to deal with disappointments other than to just be disappointed. I'm thinking of putting flares around me to warn people off. I'm thinking a good night's sleep will help too.

4. Mr. Wonderful and I are sitting with our friend's mother with Alzheimer's disease Sunday and Monday. I agreed to do it, so now I need to shake off this fatigue and embrace the experience with grace and enthusiasm.
5. I need to find a better coping mechanism other than turning to the refrigerator. I have a weigh in on Monday that won't go well because of emotional eating.
6. It's not that I don't know what to do.....some times it's just getting the motivation to do what you know you need to do but don't want to. Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. (Mother Teresa)
7. Lessons learned from Gravity: What goes up must come down! Depending on the mass of the object, what comes down may not get up again. Gravity Hurts!

I'm sorry I didn't answer your e-mail...it has been insane here...but you have been in my prayers, big-time. I love you...and I hope that next week turns out to be a better one for you (((HUGS)))
You really sounds pooped!! Also just a little depressed my friend!! Of course when you are tired then depression is right there waiting to jump on you!! I am a woman of experience when it comes to this!! I was so afraid that your knee would not heal right!! You will just have to keep doing those exercises. My dad does his every morning and he is 89...What a trooper!! SAndy
You reminded me of my knee exercises...I haven't done it for some days.
Sorry to hear about your knee...wishing you a wonderful week ahead ((hugs))
Well girlfriend, I am so tired too!!! I don't know if it is because of a cold I am coming down with , or not being used to taking care of little ones this week-end. My body feels old today....I see Mike this Friday who follows me with the brace.I am getting out of it one way or another...I am sick of sleeping in this thing...I feel that my knee is as good as it is going to be !!!!
Hope I wake up in a better mood tomorrow..Take care, Love ya, Baba
Daisy, I am sorry last week was so hard!! Some weeks are like that. You are being so loving to go sit with your friend and help out. Your a GOOD woman Charlie Brown!!
I love reading your post even when things seem little hard because you inspire me to do better with my knees/back!
I get down sometimes too about my knees and my back! I WANT to do what I was always was able to do!!! Now! But it is not to be!
I will pray things are easier for you all this week!! Love you,Carolyn
Well, I reckon you're about half way through this babysitting job! I'm hoping that it's been less than half what you expected it to be! I usually find that the MORE I dread doing something, the less I dislike the ACTUAL doing - and sometimes it even turns out to be a pleasant and rewarding experience! THIS is what I'm wishing for you!
I knEW you were more disappointed than you were letting on... I'm prayin' for ya though. God's not done with this yet!
I LOVE YOU!
My dear, dear friend, I pray that this week will be filled with encouragement and joy. You are such an encouragement to all who know you and I, for one, am so thankful to have you as a friend.
You are in my prayers and in my heart. Love you!!!
I hope things start looking up for you and Mr. Wonderful. Hang in there, things will look brighter in a day or two. Blessings! Here's a funny for you...I haven't had my coffee yet and when I started reading your post this morning and the leaves started falling it scared me I thought I had a bug on my laptop screen! :o)
Oh Daisy, you have such a load of work and worry right now. Things will be brighter sooner than you think. Still, it's good to look gravity straight in the eye and see it for what it is. Often that's the first step to restoring that trademark buoyancy of yours! And just a few more sleeps until Emma and the rest of your happy family is home!
