As the Lord sent His Disciples into the world

Denni reading from Sirach.

 

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive.

Hildegard of Bingen

The Status of The Hip:

1.  Been off pain meds since Tuesday.  Not because of being macho.  Just no pain.

2.  The physical therapist says the therapy is going so good that probably Monday we will get rid of the walker and use a cane to walk with.

3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  In fact, I am delighted that the exhaustion, the trembles, the cold to the bone feeling, and the dizziness at the end of the hour has gone away a day or so ago.   

4.  Thanks for everything, the food, the special, community blessed shawl, and the affirmation.
