Short sharp and to the point

Oh my

I am so tired. So absolutely exhausted. And yet I have so much to do.

You know when you get to the point where you just don't know where to start as the huge mountain ahead is so high.

I know, deep down, the only way to scale it is to start in the foothills and just plough on through. But it's a bit daunting.

So a quick post today.

Photo of the day was cvery very early. I know I have used him a lot but I am loving little Squiggle the squirrel. I know he is a tree rat. I know they steal. I know. But heck he is cute and he is so agile. I don't mind feeding him as well as the birds. He is way cute.

This was him at 6 am this morning.

 
Now I feel he deserves every mouthful after that huge stretch .... that is pure determination.

and I never posted Monday's so here it is - chicken sizzling on the George (what ever did we do pre-George!)

The page today is one made for my Austria album a little while ago and never posted.

The Austria album is actually looking much better than I thought it would. The trip was in 2000 so pre digital and pre scrapping and so there was not a lot to work with.

The top picture is our allocated restaurant for lunch in Oberammergau. I love that everyone was allocated a restuarant and they all served the same food so no-one could complain.

The bottom picture was the house we stayed in. You could select to stay in a hotel or a family home. Because the whole village is involved in the play and there is such a tradition, we decided we wanted to stay in a family home and I am so pleased we did. The lady was lovely though we didn't communicate well. We had a superb room, all en suite, and it really added to the event.

Today I am thankful for

• sunshine when it counted
• slippers (my feet are killing me!)

My calendar page today is

The chest pains started around noon. What’s this? I wondered. Indigestion before I even eat lunch? The discomfort persisted all day and into the night. Next morning, it had settled into a dull, deep ache, a pressure that made it hard to breathe. By midmorning, with no letup in the pain, I did the only sensible thing: I went to the Internet and typed “heart attack symptoms.” Turns out I had several of them.

Which is how—via the emergency room—I came to be lying in a hospital bed. Lots of tests were scheduled for the morning. I had already had an EKG … and three nitro pills. I was on oxygen. My purse and jewelry had been sent home with my husband. I had no makeup, no hair dryer, no cell phone, no briefcase. Everything that was me had been stripped away. I was just the patient in Room 3303. I stared at the blank TV, but I couldn’t bring myself to turn it on.

“I wish I had a Bible,” I said aloud to the white walls. On impulse, I pulled out the top drawer of my nightstand and found one waiting. I opened to Psalms and began reading. Then I turned to John 14. And by the time they brought my lunch tray, I knew that the essential part of me was still intact. My faith. My optimism. My belief in God’s abiding presence.

P.S. My heart turned out to be perfect. A viral infection in my lungs had been the cause of my pain.

Thank You, Father, for Your Word and Your abiding presence—whether I’m in a church, a boardroom, or a hospital room. You are what matters most!
