SO BLESSED!

Tomorrow morning I have another MRI.

This one of my cervical spine.

I cannot adequately convey to you the deep peace I have.

Each one of you who have prayed for me have a part in it.

Your words have been heard and God is answering

your petitions in my behalf in an amazing way!

Thank you...thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Today was a great day!  I even "feel" healthy!!

So much to be grateful for...my wonderful hubby and his

precious tenderness with me, each phone call, prayer,

card, sweet thought, and all the words of comfort.

My cup is so full...you are so precious to me,

and to our Mighty God.

May He bless each one of you in a special way today,

and answer the prayer that is closest to your heart!

A few pics to share from BHG (Better Homes and Garden)

I am filled with joy as I watch birds!

Don't know why but they just delight my soul!

I just put a bird bath in my back yard and am having a

blast watching them flit about!!

Who wouldn't love to have lunch al fresco here?

I know there is a soothing fountain just out of sight...

and a light breeze wafting about the fragrant aroma of all of the

beautiful flowers...aaahhh I am so there!

My dream studio!!  A walk down a lovely garden path...

I feel inspired already! Just needs a little chippy paint!

Remember back when I said some changes were coming

here at Holiday in the Sun?  I am almost ready for the reveal!!

I am so giddy about it!  Hopefully this other junk won't interfere

too much!  I will post an announcement after the final details have

been completed.

Love you lots!
Be sure to SPLASH some joy around today!!

Walkin' the Line!

It is a beautiful morning here in central Florida.

It's a little cool, the birds are singing, the squirrels are

scurrying around, and a light breeze is ruffling the palms.

My very favorite kind of morning!

Thank You Lord!

Well dear friends, wish I could tell you that nothing showed

up on my MRI, but that is not the case.

It revealed four lesions ranging in size from 6-8 mm.

It seems at this point that the goal is to eliminate suspicion

that I might have Multiple Sclerosis.

The Dr. wants to do another MRI of my cervical

spine area (the neck), and a lumbar puncture

to see if there is any evidence of previous activity or

other lesions.

There are a number of things about all of this that are quite

curious that will all have to be considered before any diagnosis

is made.

One of which is that I have been seeing the chiropractor and

have had relief from almost all of my symptoms.

So here I stand looking down the line to what lies ahead for me.

My friends, I can only see so far down the line,

but I have never been more thankful to know that

the amazing God of the Bible,

my Lord and Savior,

who formed me in my mother's womb,

who knows how many hairs are on my head,

who calls me by name,

and who will NEVER leave me,

has gone before me in this

and is already taking care of things up there where

I cannot see.

With Him, I will walk the line, and trust that wherever

this journey takes me, He has already been (He is the Alpha

and Omega you know) the beginning and the end...

He has strengthened my inner person and

 given me a very deep abiding peace, though

I must say I have been a bit weepy.

  I am making extreme dietary changes

that will help my immune system function at peak performance

and also help me get my weight where it should be.

Always a silver lining you know?

{a smile and a wink}

One thing I can say for sure is that the last 6 years of

my life there has never been a dull moment!

What an adventure this life is, huh?

I'm so glad that I have the Maker of the universe

walking beside me and guiding me through!

(sometimes carrying me!)

Also SO glad to have YOU all along with me!
What a HUGE blessing you are!!!

Of course, I continue to covet your prayers in regards

to all of this.

I will keep you updated for sure!

Have a glorious day!!

Love you bunches!!

Fun With Bloggy Friends!

Happy Saturday Gals!

Hope your day has been wonderful!

I got some garage saling in and did some yard work

out front, so mine has been GOOD!

Thank you SO much for all of your prayers, love and support

with my brain MRI and stuff!!  It went VERY well!

If you ever have to have an MRI, let me say sitting and

watching TV is the way to do it!

I should get my results on Tuesday!  I'll let you know...

I think they did at least find that I HAVE a brain!!

NOW on to some fun with BLOGGY friends!!!

Remember my trip to north Florida to meet up with some

wonderful bloggy friends?

Well, Claudie and Julie from Canada were part of that

fun!!  I told them that I had an "adopted son" who is a

Captain that operates an airboat, and they couldn't resist

stopping in down here for a ride!!

They have all kinds of similar wildlife in Canada...

but NO gators!!  And Capt. Josh is not only a guide, but an avid

gator hunter!  So the hunt was on!

Shelley, a sweet bloggy friend...who is SO much fun

came along and we had a great time!!

He took us first up to Deleon Springs so we could see some manatees.

This is a little boat house we saw as we rounded the curve to the springs.

A very large manatee coming up for air

There were all types of wildlife.  Tons of these waterfowl...just don't

know what they are!

Capt. Josh pointed out these tree roots...let's go look over there

It was the home of a nest of baby gators.  Here is one of the larger ones.

It's about 3 feet long

If you look closely you can see the smaller ones.

They were only about 1 1/2 ' long.  They are too cute!

 This is an Osprey...often mistaken for a bald eagle.

So beautiful!  As you can see the weather was divine! 

Capt. Josh had to take a little break for a minute...if you know what

I mean, and Claudie decided she would jump out and make sure that the

boat didn't drift away!

Now on to the big ol' boys!!  We saw a couple of gators that were

well over 10 feet long!  He had his eyes on us for sure!

Julie is a photographer and was leaning down and forward to

get a good picture of a gator that was only about 5-6 feet away.

I don't know if this was the one...but he was at least this big!

(we're talking 11-12 feet long my friends)

He raised up and lunged forward to go into the water,

and gave Julie and Claudie quite a fright!!

The St John's river is so beautiful and serene.

This is another little boat house that just captures the whole

feel of life on the river.

A picture of my fellow adventurers!

Left to right: Julie, Claudie and Shelley!

A day we will always remember!

If you ever have the opportunity to meet up with some bloggy buddies

 I encourage you to go for it!  We had a great time!

Have a praise-filled Sunday, my friends!

Love ya bunches!
