Focus On Life - Week 32 - Where I Stand

When I first read this, being silly as I can be, I thought well I stand on my feet...but...we know that is not what she meant.   So I have been thinking about it this week, and right now I am standing in the center of several cross roads...Now that my parents have passed, I had wanted to do some traveling...but that is on hold while we wait for the doctors to decide what to do with my husbands ankle...after 9 months the bones still have not healed, one of the screws in his ankle is loose and he has an infection....they have given us several options. We are just waiting for the last of the lab test results to come in before making a decision.

My middle son is at home while he goes to college...where he is finding that college is totally different from high school.  My daughter spent the summer here helping me around the house and going through some of her "stuff" we brought with us when moved.  What she packed two years ago doesn't seem as important now....lol.

But..I know God is Good, and the right path will show itself when he is ready.

In my picture, I have my family, the one of my husband of course was taken last year before his accident. Then there is my daughter...(laying on the couch) then my middle son, and then my oldest with his two daughters and my daughter in law...the rest are of the nature around my house that somehow keeps me grounded.  I can't tell you how much I sit at my window or go out and look around my yard when I feel like I am about to loose it. Oh, and our dog, who doesn't know she is a dog.....

So from where I stand...life is good, God is good, and I will just keep plugging along.

  1. Once again the 'pet' seems to have the best spot in the house! Wish my son would come home and thrown out his 10 year old treasures, but then I didn't clean out my room at home until I moved my parents 3 years ago!

  3. Taking a walk is always relaxing. I do it all the time myself just to clear my head- or to try and think! Hope things get worked out for your husband soon.

  5. What a great photo collage! I hope you get some good news soon on your husband's ankle. I agree that it's amazing how nature can help ground us and give us strength.
