Tackle It Tuesday



Good Morning!
We Had a wonderful play date yesterday.
The flower fairy came for me.
This morning the tooth fairy had come for Dash as he lost his other front tooth yesterday.
I got a bit of hard news at the end of the afternoon. The report on the xray was called in. There are no breaks in my hand and in this I rejoice, however the news was that there is minimal (it has begun) degenerative joint disease, Osteoarthritis has now hit my hand. It is in my knee, stinosis in my low back and hip now it is showing itself in my hand. I am trusting once the sprain cleare that I will not have this pain as a constant. I am so young for this. All of my sibblings (I am the lsat of 8) have the same challenge for it is a familur type. I was pretty upset for I use my hands so much. The thought of this pain now in my hands and not just my knee and my low back is disterbing. I remember my Mother crying saying "why does it have to hurt so bad...?"
Sad memories of my Mother suffering.
I went to the bead group from our chuch hoping for some fellowship and discovered thta the young woman (an only child) simply needed an audience. Nothing I shared had any value.
I do not think I will return and I am so disappointed, I really wanted to have a place to share that passion with like minded. She just wanted to make money off of me. I am grieved.

So My tackles today...
To enjoy the wonderful flowers my sweet friend gave me.
Thank you Trishia.
Clean my kitchen.

Be very gentle with my sore sprained hand.
Grieve a little and then go on. :)
Call to make the appointment with the guy for my knee. I think that the Synvisk injection are worn off I got a good 11 months out of the injections. That is good. Now I need to see what is next.
Enjoy the last few days with the young ones for they start school next Monday.
Buy Dog food.
Enjoy the wild birds at my window.
Cry a little.
Clean the kids bathroom if I can.
Play the rest of the Monopoly game with the kids. We started it yesterday.

Dash won after so many hours...Dove really had a melt down.
Comfort the kids for they are upset about my hands too.
That surprized me, Dash is angry at the radioligist for telling mom that her hands are not o.k.
He is really angry that someone upset me.
He is also upset that the tooth fairy did not give him what he wanted. Tooth fairy does not give out $10. toys!
Oh! Life!
I will tackle the turn of this day into the strength that is the joy that is the force to get this day in line with the beauty that is my life.
Challenges and all.

Those sunflowers are beautiful. Wish the flower fairy would pay me a visit. Baby that hand- you deserve it! :) I'm tackling virtual clutter. I'm de-cluttering my blog & store. Pop over for a look.

I'm sorry to hear about the osteoarthritis...it sounds like you have a good support system though, which is very good!

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
