Rosemary's Blessing:

May we shine like lights in the world

Never hiding the brightness under a basket

But rather spreading the glow of God’s love

To all we come in contact with.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

May God bless you with tears…
to shed for those who suffer from pain,
rejection, starvation and war.
May God bless you so that
you may reach out your hand
to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

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.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May God bless you with discomfort…
at easy answers, hard hearts,
half-truths ,and superficial relationships.
May God bless you so that you may live
from deep within your heart
where God’s Spirit dwells.

And may God bless you with
enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

 Rosemary’s Blessing: 

 May the sun bring you new energy by day

May the moon softly restore you by night

May the rain wash away your worries

May the breeze blow new strength into your being

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life.
