Well here I am outside my ourse on the lawn in the swing with a bird singing above my haed.I am in the shade of an ancient old tree with my dogs at my feet.I can look across the field and watch my horses playing in the pasture.I look around at my many flowers blooming and despite my illness and constant pain I can truly say life is good.
How is your day?

Gabs Sweetie,I'm glad you have the outside coming inside to you.I love to feel the breeze hit my face when I go to sleep at night.At my house there is a hint of horse on the breeze and I love the small.It is not a bad smell at all.

That sounds like a lovely setting. I am sorry that you have to endure paid while you are trying to enjoy a beautiful day outside while the sin is shining. the sun is shining here at my home also but I am inside because I have a desktop computer that I use to do my online work. I would love to have a laptop someday but wecannot get wireless connection where we live. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and the pain goes away from you.

You are very welcome. I hope you get to feeling better raydene. I am glad that are able to at least enjoy some part of the day though. I know it must be troublesome to be in pain. I know things could be much worse and I am so glad for you to be able to have some time without dealing with alot of pain all of the time. Here is a (((hug))) back to you too.

Thanks Steph, As long as the pain meds hold out I can keep the pain low enough to tolerate.It is just the couple of hours between pills that are killers.I enjoy every second that I can and suffer when I have to and that is my life...I am well aware that it could be much worst.Hug

I too had birds singing and the cats coming and going with the dogs all glad to be out and about. Now that I cannot live there due to the fire that took everything.... I have to enjoy the black squirrels and struggle to rebuld my life. The neighborhood is active and yet sedate so it is not bad to be adjusting my life here. It could be worse. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will live vicariously through you.

And so they should be cause they have such a wonderful Mum...He is such a good boy to be careful of you like that...It must make you feel special for this treatment.It sounds like everybody takes very good care of you and the best thing is that the reports I get are that you are being very good and not overdoing it.That's my girl!

Yeah, I always feel happier when it is sunny and warm. As I think most people are, people here in NY actually smile in this weather :)

Well my day is ok. I am in an office building on the 20th floor. But at least I have a job.
I wish I was sitting out with you enjoying the birds singing and the horses, dogs, etc. Have a wonderful day. Life is good!

I can only imagine. I live out in the country and I would love to be sitting out in the swing. LOL about your cat. That is so cute.
I am sorry you are in pain. Is there anything the doctor can do for you? Not sure what kind of pain you are in, but I feel for you. I have had two back surgeries and I am in constant pain dealing with my back. You don't realize how much you use your back until something happens like it did to me and there you are. I was paralyzed when I was 18 from my back and had to have emergency surgery. But I can walk now with a slight limp. Thank God for that.

I am glad I am still alive and still given the chance to another day and if we just live our lives one day at a time we will be able to look forward everyday waiting for the sun to shine on us and feel the radiance on our faces. Its good to be alive and lets share this with people we care about.

I wish I had a laptop and could be outside also. It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting inside with the windows open. I can hear the birds chirping in the distance. I will get outside soon and enjoy the rest of the day outside in the yard. I hope you fell better soon.
