“The New Year Stands Before Us, like a Chapter in a Book, waiting to be written.”—Melody Beattie

December and January have been a tad —-well, a time of sickness.

First I got COVID, then Terry got COVID.

We got over all that in time for CHRISTMAS!!! (See blessings do abound)

Then I came down with a sudden, horrific, leg infection, rising from my ankle to my knee–swelling, turning red, full of horrendous pain— and requiring me to walk with a cane. (When I had to walk)

But thanks to a specialist, medication, and a strong will to be pain-free —those hours of laying awake in the deep of the night counting my heartbeats to see if I have enough heartbeats in my heart to keep going.

I made it.

I can walk now without a cane.  My leg is starting to heal. (I’m almost pain-free right now)

The blessings have been heaped on me like rain on parched land.  I am so grateful.
