Wedding Song - God Knew That I Needed You

TIMELY

About a month ago, when my leg started misbehaving, I determined to find ways to deal with the thing organically and holistically … and I set goals for a timely recovery.

I am healing nicely, and the goals are on target 😉

Last night we had power surges during the rainy downfall, so I shut the laptop down and chose a new book to read 😊

Familiar author – new read.

When Bob was still working before retirement, he brought a book home in his lunch pail one morning when his shift ended: I was curious and read the back storyline while repacking his lunch pail for his night shift.

I was intrigued.

Bob turned me onto Clive Cussler books a decade ago ... I was hooked with the first book.
Spending the night with Clive is a pleasure. LOL

This morning I woke up feeling refreshed and motivated, so I got dressed and drove to Baker’s Corner where I grabbed a Breakfast Burger (I was really after the Breakfast Casserole, but that was gone already) and a Vanilla Coke, and drove to Willow Grove.

I am not going to allow myself to become limited by what some consider a handicap.

As long as I am capable of being actively mobile … I intend to be actively mobile.

I had planned to walk the upper end of the dike for my first day out and about, but after reading several chapters of Clive’s book last night: the river walk seemed more fitting.

Plus, Willow Grove is closer – if I got a sciatic pinch in my hip/thigh; or an arthritic shin cramp (which feels like a burning charley horse when it sets in), getting home to lie down and calm it all down, would be quicker … and safer; being only 8 minutes away from my driveway.

I tend to push the envelope every chance I get; but I am no fool.

I don’t play fast and loose with my life, or my body: even if some think I do.

Bob was the daredevil of the family.

I’m more of the mindset to take things easy, let healing set in, test the boundaries … then step out lightly and carefully before going full throttle.

So today, I tested the boundaries; setting out lightly and carefully 😉

I chose Willow Grove for my walk because I am reading a book about ships ...
A half a mile walk will suffice for my 1st day out.
Windy ... but almost balmy in temperature.
2 ships anchored - waiting for Port admittance further upriver.
A seagull sitting on a wave break post.
Half a mile in half an hour.

When I got back home, I tried to upload the pics/vids I took during my morning walk … and was frustrated when they were rerouted to another section of the laptop innards I can’t decipher.

This would not be an issue with Bob.

I am not Bob: it was an issue.

I shot off a pissed text to my granddaughter, asking her if she knew of a way to untangle the updated mess Microsoft and Apple had tossed me; she was working, but she did get back to me when she could ... and I am able to post my pics/vids again. 

In the meantime, as I was waiting and fuming; I was sitting in Bob’s recliner (it felt so good! I have not been able to sit in it for a month because sitting was painful) contemplating the frustration … when I happened to glance out the window and saw a ‘hang 5’ toggle cloud gently glide by, high in the sky.

Even now, Bob is STILL my greatest cheerleader! Thanks Babe ~ OX

I laughed.

Bob’s loving comfort always comes through in timely methods.

I swear Bob was riding the clouds and seeing my fierce eyes, decided to shoot me some loving encouragement.

This is not the first time he has given me signs he is near (hang 5 toggle clouds, and clouds parting overhead in a heart shaped opening; finding heart-shaped rocks): they always appear when I need comfort.

I am comforted.

And I do not think this comforting is at odds with our Christian Faith.

I never put my love for Bob, over Elohei.

I do not – nor have I ever, idolized Bob.

I believe Elohim is okay with the signs.

In Elohei, live and breathe; and have my being.

I trust my life 100% to Elohim.

Yeshua is my Husband, now.

I am stepping out, and settling up, in my new life: with that mindset.

I am able to do what I can do in the moment because I walk by Faith, knowing Elohim has everything under control and has only good things in store for my life.

Today was an excellent start in a timely mode.
