What will the new year bring?

Trying to think of what I did right in the old year and will make better plans for the next year I hope..... I lost 30#s but I did it on a bad diet and it wasn't healthy. I used Suzanne Somers plan that is a lot like Atkins diet.... It was a big mistake for me as now I have this pancreatitis to deal with. I will follow my doctors advice and stay on a low fat diet and hope it clears up completly soon. Funny but I had gained about 6 #s after Thanksgiving and have lost that plus 3 more so I'm feeling positive about my eating habits for the new year.   Last year I planted a lot of flowers in my yard and kept it nearly weed free too. This year I think the plan for that is about the same. Every year I straighten up my house on the inside during the winter and every summer I let it go so now I have clutter the same as every year.... maybe I will try to cut down on the clutter and give more "stuff" away.... not promising mind you but going to try a little harder. ;)

I hope the New Year finds me healthy and Happy and able to share my happiness with others.   We shall see.... Can't wait for the fun to begin, LOL

Yesterday we went to the Target store and I was looking through the different pain pills and came accross a good one... Tylenol PM  took 2 before bed last night and slept great and then when I woke 4 or so hours later I took one more because I was in a lot of pain and Hip Hip Hooray I went back to sleep in only minutes and slept the night away.... even had a funny dream. That was the first night I didn't walk the floors for hours in pain. I hope I don't have to use them too often or may get used to them and then they won't work but it sure was nice getting that sleep last night  ;)

Just wanted to share

Isn't this a precious picture of my Grandaughter?  Well, I think it is anyway, hehe   They were in Florida today at Crabby Bills to get a bite to eat and some t shirts etc when they spotted this sign and being the ham she is had to get her picture taken and it turned out so good. Look at those big eyes.... Makes me miss them so much but am glad they are having such a good time. Don't you just love the computer and being able to share pictures like this so easy. I don't know how I ever lived without mine, lol

 

The Day After

I thought I would put in a couple of pictures and to let you all know I think I am starting to feel a little better. At least I didn't need a pain pill all day today so that is a huge improvement. I may have to take one tonight but I am waiting. Trying to toughen myself up a little.

It was a beautiful sunny day today but I stayed home and did a little laundry and putzing around... Tomorrow is supposed to be nice too I guess. Spring can come anytime now that Christmas is over, lol We have a long January to get over and I plan on finding some things to do to make it go faster... I think once January is over a person can get the seed catalogs out and really get serious. I got 3 in the mail so far.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Can You Believe Christmas is Here Already?

I hope everyone has a very happy and blessed Christmas! We had 3 of our children over tonight and a grandson and grandaughter and a daughter in law and we all had a very plesant time too. I am so happy it all went well and my pain didn't start up until everyone left.

                     In Bethlehem

Let us go now to Bethlehem

Upon this Christmas Day,

And there within a manger bed

Find strength we need alway.

A faith to conquer every doubt....

Love which is good and true.....

Hope that can banish all despair.....

Peace to bring joy anew.

And let us there accept the gift

God sent so long ago;

That in our heart on Christmas Day

Eternal hope can glow.

Winter is Here

Winter's Shadows

The sun climbs down the dark'ning sky

     And leaves a crimson afterglow,

With long, blue shadows here and there

     Across the frozen wastes of snow.

And ere 'tis gone the moon peeps up

    Beyond the rugged poplar's height,

To spread a pale gold setting for

    The twinkling diamonds of the night.

The weary seek the cheer of home,

    Where warmth and refuge are akin.

Tho frosty silence reigns without,

      Gay song and laughter sound within.

Gettin the Spirit back

My sisters have been showing me pictures of what they are doing for Christmas and I will do my best to make this a Merry Christmas too. No more feeling sorry for myself.... at least when the pain pills work. :) maybe this is a good time of the year for me to get these things as I can try harder to pull myself out of it... would be worse in the middle of January I think as its such a long cold month.

When will it end

I had to go to the hospital again tonight but got to  come home this time. Seems besides pancreatitis I also have Shingles.... sure hope it doesn't last too long. I am taking lots of pills now.................. I hate pills!  I should get better soon though and when I feel good I will try to spread a little Christmas cheer... :)  Just wanted to tell all so you understand if I am not in here too much.
