dead fingers and a 10 on the 10th

I think my reynauds is getting worse as for most of the day I have had dead fingers and toes and I just cannot seem to get the circulation sorted out in them.

It's not a good look - whie fingers are not very festive.

It is making typing very difficult, and doing pretty much anything else too. It was quite funny as I tried to do my coat up to come home as I couldn't feel what I was doing.

Just as well I have no time to scrap then!

I do have a new JYC page to share though.

I snapped this little corner in the kitchen (It is sort of a corner shelving unit)

 

They are two willow tree figurines we bought - well Nigel bought for me as presents. They seem to sum us up - a young couple - like we were - and an old couple - like we are. Older but still together.

The hearth int he centre which has a tea light holder was a gift from Sam and Chris and comes out every christmas.

So the photo became my focus for my JYC today

 

I also have a new piece of scrapping to share - well an old new piece actually as I made it last month. It is my 10 on the 10th page and having done 10 reasons why I love Winter this is 10 things I love about Autumn or Fall - and it was hard to narrow it down to 10 actually.

 

 

 

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• finally starting to feel warm
• shortbread - oops
• Nigel having a very good day

 

And finally my page a day calendar page

“Sometimes he can be such a ___________.” (FILL IN THE BLANK.)

Have you ever said that, or something like it, about someone? Your spouse, your child, that obstreperous person on your church committee, a neighbor?

Boy, I sure have. One of my biggest challenges was with a colleague.

One day after a particularly contentious meeting, I said some harsh words about him and his actions. “I know the Bible says I’m supposed to love this guy,” I sputtered to another coworker. “But I don’t and I don’t know how I would.”

“Maybe you don’t have to know,” he said, “at least not right away. Treat him respectfully and give yourself a break. A lot of the time, love begins with an action, not an emotion. It’s something you do, even though you don’t feel it.”

That advice has stayed with me. I still have days when I can’t love certain people in my heart the way
the Bible commands us to love. But I’ve learned that I can love with my actions and my words: respectful listening, a helpful suggestion, a silent prayer. That has made a huge difference, not only in the way I treat people but often in the way they treat me.

Today, God, show me a person to whom I can show love through my actions.—JEFF JAPINGA

My daughter's friend has the same ailment that you have and suffers badly, she goes into hospital for a week this month and they put something into her body which helps her feel warmer. This year they are trying something else to see how it goes whilst waiting to go in it is Prozac an anti depressant and the first time in ages she has been able to feel her finger tips if she digs her nails in them. She is under a hospital in London.

I wonder if Neurontin would be a medication that could help with your reynouds? It helped my father in law when he suffered from peroneal nerve palsy and took the medication. Of course, from what I read online, reynouds is not really a nerve problem. Take care, and I'm praying that your disorder doesn't work itself up too much this winter.
Lovely Willow Tree figures :-)
