1 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Good afternoon from chilly Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's warming up. We're having a heatwave. It's 19 F and feels like 7 F. That's a lot better than the negative wind chills of the past two days. I'm thankful the car started this morning when I went out to start it before leaving for my therapy appointment. I'm thankful I didn't do the exercises the therapist gave me last week because we ditched all of them but one because of the diagnosis from the pain management doctor about the two compression fractures. So, I have new exercises to do. She also told me all the exercises I'm doing with the exercise group, I can't do. No twisting or bending. I can work out on the bike and I can swim. So, if the weather is good tomorrow, I'll be back in the pool. I'm thankful for rock painting. I went straight there from therapy. I finished the rock you see above. I'm thankful for Ibuprofen and the massage pad on the recliner. I'll be sitting there as soon as I post this. I should come back later, but if I can't, I'm sorry. I really want to see what you're up to in your world. However, my back comes first and right now, I'm in a lot of pain. I'm thankful my former pastor's wife will be here shortly with eggs. It's the last I'll get from them since I no longer go to that church fellowship. Okay, that's what I'm thankful for today. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

No exercises for you. The pool must be a really nice experience with your injury and all. I am thankful that it is only 16 degrees right now and not colder.

I’m so sorry you are in a lot of pain. I guess doing the bike and swimming exercises would be better. I’m thankful for all my wonderful friends both in Connecticut and in Florida.

@DianneN Thank you. Right now, I'm doing okay, though I'm in my pjs without the back brace and can tell the difference. I'll be going to bed soon.

I'm glad it was warmer for you too. I told one of the ladies who goes to the exercise class tonight that I will still come down. I'll start the tape and work on the bike since I can still do that. That way I can still get some socialization.

It's good that you didn't continue with your exercise last week. You might have injured yourself further. Take care.

I'm feeling quite cold today, but our weather is a lot warmer than yours. It did hit freezing temperatures last night, but it's in the high 50s right now. (For those who use Celsius, our local temperature is in the low-to mid teens.) I'm also thankful that you have the massage pad on your recliner!

@spiderdust That could be. I'm glad I'm through that phase of life.

@just4him I suspect it's menopause related. I just haven't been able to get warm for a few days now, even bundled up.

Glad your area is warming up. We will be cold over the weekend but not as cold as you have been. Hope that you continue to heal and feel better. Love the rock. Glad you have that class and that you enjoy it as you do. I am sorry that you are out of the one church's fellowship now, but glad you have another one that you like. I am thankful for another day when the Lord provided protection, food, shelter and clothes. I always want to praise Him for all that He does for me.

It was one day and then back in the deep freeze. The wind chill advisory is now over and we're starting to warm up. By tomorrow, it will feel like we're in a heatwave. I didn't pay attention to the warning signs for that church. I loved the interaction, and I always let my voice be heard. However, when there's a wrong doctrine, it's time to leave. My new church is fantastic. It's been a long time since I heard the shofar. The Spanish pastor blew it several times through the song worship. Being thankful for everything God gives you, is how we are supposed to be. When we're thankful, He continues to bless. Have a blessed day.

Glad your car started on this cold morning for you. I am thankful for my eyesight. Spent the last couple of days on the phone with my cousin and it made me even more thankful.
