Asking For Prayers Again...

My boy is home safe, my daughter his mum has just celebrated her 40th birthday.

My husband Ralph has been referred urgently to see an ENT specialist, his appointment is tomorrow at 4:30pm.

If anyone catches this and you believe in a higher power.  Please send out a prayer for Ralph.

Thank You

My Boy is On His Way Home

Conor is coming home....Conor is coming home.... Conor is coming home.....

 

Thank You Everyone who kept him in their prayers and thoughts during his tour of Afghanistan.

My soldier Grandson is in Cyprus at the moment en route back to the UK.

I say we are happy and grateful is an understatement. 

We are more than Grateful. More than Happy.

Our boy was injured out on patrol and sustained four broken ribs.

But we did not allow our tears to flow, well not for too long.

Two boys he was out on patrol with are now double amputee's

so our tears and thoughts are for those boys and their families.

I think there may be some partying around here this weekend

God is Good

Day 35

We have had so much snow over the past three days and it is still falling.  A White Easter is on the cards for sure.

My 100 Day Plan is moving along steady, no big things happening, but slowly improving my lifestyle and trekking things here and there for healthy options. My weight is very slowly coming off, my decluttering is continuing at a snails pace, but it is a work in progress.

My grandson Conor was injured on duty in Afghanistan, he sustained four broken ribs and is in the med centre at Camp Bastion. He will remain there until his tour ends in three weeks. We are relieved he is is safe but very sad that two other boys are now double amputee's because of the IED they came across. I believe there is an Angel watching over our boy and pray for his safe arrival back here.

Doting Grandma, Conor and Ralph just before Conor's deployment.

Day 21

It has been a busy week this week, getting out and about socialising with dear friends, three days running. My man has been laid low with a bout of flu and there is no sign of him starting to recover yet.

Mothers Day here in the UK and I had to go visit my children rather than them come here, we didn't wnt them risking catching flu from Ralph. I now feel like I am in a small florists and there is a lot of chocolate in the shoebox now. I am a spoilt mum today.

Missing my mam today....

I have not done any decluttering this week but hope to double up my efforts in the coming week.

Day14 of 100

I have had a great week, continuing decluttering, slow but sure. 

Healthier lifestyle kicking in (lost 4lbs). 

Crafting mojo is back, a little rusty but being oiled by enthusiasm.  

Loving life and really enjoying simplifying my home life.

 No one needs so much "stuff".

This week my plan is to clear my wardrobe. 

 Send a fair amount of clothes to our local hospice shop. 

Work on wedding invitations for my niece. 

Make Mothers Day card for my adorable mother in law.

 A Christening gift for a precious baby boy who scared his family when he arrived. 

He spend two weeks in HDU but is thriving now.

 So I have a Joyful week ahead, hope you do too. 

 

 

Happy St Davids Day

One Hundred Day Plan Minus Seven

I think I may have given the wrong impression in my previous post.  I was not planning on leaving the Internet for 100 days, but to cut down on my usage of it as part of my 100 day plan.  This I have done, but not as much as I had hoped for this first week, but things can only get better.

I have got a few things done though. A bit of decluttering, some crafting, a lot of healthier eating. I will get weighed tomorrow to see if it has made any difference to my bulk. I am drinking more, but need to drink even more.

This second week. I want to get out walking again, if the temperature improves that is. It has been ffffffreeeeeezzzzzing here and I am prone to feeling the cold badly due to the meds I am on. Hopefully not for much longer, I see the cardiologist on March 16th.

We are off to my baby daughters this evening, Chef Mike is cooking us up a treat:)

Have a Great Week.

One Hundred Day Plan

Tomorrow I am starting a hundred day plan.  Not my usual diet that will definitely fail plan.
This plan will evolve and grow as time goes by, I am wanting to push or pull myself gently to do things that I have neglected, or things that scare or worry me.  It will involve, spirituality, creativity and physical activity.  It will also involve not being on the Internet every day.  I want to to get back to the pleasures I enjoyed before the world wide web caught me in its trap. So tomorrow I will leave the web alone and begin use my time to improve my all over well being.  Reading, walking, listening to music, writing letters (I cannot remember the last time I wrote a letter!)

Wish me luck I reckon I may need  little.
