Keep In Motion

Walking to the Post Office only took a few minutes, but my hips felt like I had vice grips on them.  Since having thyroid cancer, they do that from time to time.  No explanation as to why.  More reading to do to become better informed.  

Made it HOME, cooled off and sipped a PERO.  Thyroid Health is ongoing.  With foggy brain though, I read something then cannot remember very well what I just read.  Much of the thyroid info goes right over my head or through it.  I take notes then forget where I put the notes.  Welp...that's not good.

I am trying to keep my body moving.  Little second exercises throughout the house.  The edge of the Kitchen counter is available and won't move if I lean into the counter like a push up.  Today as I got out of bed I raised myself up on my tippy toes several times to stretch my legs.  Felt good.  

Actually felt good.  As I sit and do paperwork or watch the tele I raise my arms in motion and wiggle my fingers often.  Twist and turn the arms as if lifting weights.  Better than nothing.

LAST NIGHTS Baked Ham turned out so tender that I went back for seconds.  SLOW COOKING has it's advantages when dealing with meats.  Very pleased with the BROWN SUGAR-MAPLE SYRUP-MUSTARD GLAZE.  It was just what the doctor ordered. 

Plenty for left-overs.  In a few days the ham will be used for HAM and BEANS.  I'll thoroughly rinse the beans then soak them in the crockpot over night, add the ham pieces in the morning and slow cook until supper.  A HARDY meal for an evening.  This week we won't starve.  

Bake some cornbread on the side, add a salad and applesauce.  Might skillet fry some potatoes.  HUBBY loves those with HAM and BEANS. 

Mailman made a drop.  Early today.  Not like clock work.  Weekly free newspaper should be there.  Look forward to glancing through the paper on Wednesdays.  

Last week I had forgotten about the traveling HEALING WALL being at the Park until I read about it in the paper.  LATE Friday night we went and looked at it when the temps were cooler.  Well lite.  Very impressive.  

The Wall That Heals: Vietnam Veterans Memorial Traveling Replica

This traveling wall has a tent museum as well.  Years ago we saw the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Traveling Wall in Houston as well as the original Washington DC Wall.  Third time to view.  Each time it is the same, very sobering.

This go round the Wall was a different one... just as impressive as the others.  It is very humbling to see so many names that were actual people's names of those that died during the VIETNAM CONFLICT.  My cousin Bob's name is on it.



He died so young.  Married with a baby on the way.  He never did see his son and his son didn't know his Dad.  Sad.  

So many stories that these men have.  The crowd was very respectable and quiet.  Tis very humbling.

Even though our present day current events are very challenging, we are so very fortunate to be living in our country.  This country.  

The land I love.
May you have a blessed day,

2 Chronicles 20:12
O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.


Psalm 120:1 In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.
