What a good, good weekend! We try not to be overly optimistic, the operative word being overly. Optimistic is a good thing, but we don't want it to set us on the wrong course. Like feeling so good that you don't need to do that anymore. With all of this research we have stumbled upon some really good advise and products that are making our life better even if we weren't dealing with Murphy. Everything from stuff to make Murphy go away to music and mental exercises to help with the stress of it all. Of course, we wouldn't want anyone to think that we are putting anything above our faith in what we get from our god, Jehovah and the wonderful international brotherhood. We work really hard to keep a balance in our lives and keep the kingdom first, because in the end (whatever that might be) we want to be in the new world with all of our friends.
We spent Sat. morning in Bonanza, the little town we first lived in when we moved to Oregon. Every year the town puts on a celebration of the town. For many years we participated in the event (we sold desserts) so we get an ego boost when we see people there who remember us and beg us to come back. Because we had the breakfast business for 3 1/2 years and Walt worked as a server in my brothers restaurant after that he knows a lot of people and because he is Walt a lot of people love him and were happy to see him. It was fun watching the grandkids collect candy during the parade. We got there at 10:30 and he was "done" by noon. The rest of the day was spent resting up.
Sunday morning meeting was great. We couldn't stick around and visit because Walt's medication for pain was about at it's end so we needed to get home and get some more on board. His pain isn't too bad if he keeps up the drugs, but we are still dealing with it with fairly benign medication (tylenol & ibuprofen). Stupid Murphy still wants to make it's presents known. We are on day 3 of no problems eating and Walt's appetite seems to be improving some. We are down one more pound, but the weight loss seems to have slowed down drastically. It's got to be all of the protein I'm stuffing down him.
So, thanks again for the prayers. They are working because we feel like we could conquer the world. We love you all.
Love reading this even though I already know! Love you guys so much.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read these in a couple of weeks. It was great to catch up. Also, it was great to visit with you today. I know you guys are going thru some hard times, but really, you guys are the same loving family I met some years ago. I admire your strength and determination. Jehovah is good!
