Every day is a gift/Just for Fun

Posted on July 25, 2013

In the aftermath of being sick for months… followed by surgery, I think I’m kinda getting myself to a point where normal looks like normal again. Honestly, I was a couch potato from the mid-April to late June. Now, I feel like I can finally say, I’m back!

While I was going through all the whole “being out of commission” my husband and son were wonderful. They did all the grocery shopping, restocking the pantry & refrigerator, cooked, laundry, and more.  The help was tremendous. I am completely grateful for my fine, loving men God gave me.  Unfortunately, there are chores that fall outside the basic category that only the Chef Homemaker can do and this is where I am.

For the past three weeks, I have slowly taken on tasks that I felt comfortable with each day. These jobs are the dusty, grimy or otherwise disorganized ones that even when you’re completely well that you put off till another day. Instead, I just smiled and took each on one mission at a time, which is to say, I’m still in the midst of these duties.

I guess I lost you after the first paragraph, eh? You’re probably scratching your head saying, “You’ve been sick?” If anyone is to blame, it’s me. I did not announce in Blogosphere what was going on, other than I only hinted I was under the weather. Long story short, I had an abscess on the intestines, and removal of a small segment of the bowel was necessary.

In retrospect, the writing was on the wall for many months that something was amiss, but I brushed it off thinking I can handle it. That was ignorance or arrogance on my behalf. Sheepishly, I admit it was the latter. What a fool I was! The incredible thing is I didn’t realize how ill I was, only God knew. He made certain nothing went wrong till I surrendered my stubbornness to see my doctor. That was definitely a good movie with the seriousness of my condition. I understand it could have turned terribly wrong otherwise.

Now that the rough stuff is behind me, I’m working toward finding a happy balance in my days between my blog, housework and very soon exercise. I have a new appreciation for listening to what my body is saying and VERY thankful God has given man superior medical knowledge to treat people. “Every day is a gift that’s why they call it the present,” holds new meaning in my life.

Thursday Two Questions Self Sagacity.com border=1. When was the last time you felt a new sense of appreciation for another day of life?
2. What helps to keep you in check of that appreciation?

I intended this post for last week’s Alphabe-Thursday hop but I failed to get it linked up. Needless to say, I have yet to get back into the groove of all of my weekly memes.  Hopefully, I can attend the class next week. However, “J“ust for fun I want to invite you to join Miss Jenny & her students for weekly inspired alphabet theme posts. You’ll be happy that you did because you will meet a lot of clever and creative people!

Just for fun, join my Thursday Tid-bits hop. There are no rules, just link up!
