Yes, you read right. Yes, I know it’s mid-December. I
have had a different time getting into the Christmas season. More about that
later. You will understand why I have not been very attentive to my blog of
late.
November was a very unusual month. I came to realize that
I might need some help dealing with my emotions about some issues that seemed
to say with me.
At church, we had a worship service on the first Sunday
of the month, All Souls Day where we recognized those who had passed on in the
previous 12 months. It was a very meaningful time.
Hubby and I celebrated our 51st wedding
anniversary. He purchased a bouquet of roses for me and we went out for lunch
at Red Lobster.
On Sunday before Thanksgiving, I did something silly. I
was searching for a microwavable glass pie dish. It was in the cabinet below
the microwave. I stooped down to reach
way in the back and fell backward, landing on my seat. I couldn’t get up/ Long
story, short I had to crawl around our island and into the living room and
raise myself up using the sofa. I spent
25 minutes I will never get back. Hubby tried to help me but nothing seemed
to work. He finally suggested I crawl into the living room.
Our church had its annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner
on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The Deputy-Mayor and our State Representative
came by to see the event. Because of my Sunday experience, I called the lady in
charge of the dinner and asked if I could have a “sit-down” job and told her
why. She told me I could do the pie table. I had to keep the table filled with
pumpkin pie and provide the guests with whipped topping if they wanted it. (I
almost couldn’t keep up.)
God has been very good to us.
I didn't realize you had your 51st Anniversary! Congratulations! We had our 50th this year! So we are right behind you! Your story about falling on your seat would be funny if it weren't so painful. Very thankful you didn't break anything! I do understand about crawling to a place to pull up, however. I often have to do that if I am on the floor since my back surgery in 2007. Needless to say, once we've had this experience, we try really hard not to "fall" if we can help it!! I hope your "seat" is much better now!! I hope you are able to prepare for Christmas now. But it's what is in the heart that matters...and being with the people you love. May your Christmas be blessed (and pain free!)
ReplyDeletePamela: Thank you for your concern. Some of my friends know about my episodes of falling. I DO try to be careful. It snowed here Sunday night into Monday and Monday night. Today is Wednesday and I have been in since late Sunday morning. The driving force behind my being house-bound is the ice and snow. I truly don't want to fall again.
