Well it has been a mixed bag here.
Friday late afternoon we got the call to say that due to the nurses strike my results appointment on 7th had been cancelled and I was being referred back to Poole at Mr Tatterton had no appointments until March. We were devastated and another lady rang back to say she would ring me Monday and try and get me in with Miss Mella at Poole quite soon.
Of course it was late Friday so it wasn't possible to do anything about it at that point so I had quite a depressed day on Saturday. I haven't really let any of this get me down - I have been quite surprised at my resilience to be honest. I am not generally known for my glass being half full!! But Saturday was a real down day and I just couldn't shake it.
Nigel took me out for dinner at Wagamama and yesterday we took a drive along the coast calling in at Milford on sea, KeyHaven and Lymington and it did really cheer me up. We made a plan to call the hospital on Monday afternoon if we hadn't heard anything.
Keyhaven
A street that looks kid of like Diagon Alley in Lymington
Today I woke feeling worried but suddenly in my feed this popped up as we were on our way out
It was just what I needed to see and that message - couple with the sea which always helps - make me feel so much less worried and happy that it was not anything I needed to worry about because He had it in hand.
About half an hour later, whilst on the beach - the phone rang and it was the hospital to say I have an appointment on Wednesday this week - so a delay of less than 24 hours. God is indeed good.
Oh and the beach was beautiful
And we drove past the hospital on the way home to give a thumbs up to the nurses out on the picket line because even though my initial appointment was cancelled I support them whole-heartedly.
I have new scrapping to share.

and this I have just made with the free February mystery box collection
and finally a painting I did last week - bit of a different style for me to be honest
Today I am thankful for
- a timely reminder that He has me in His care and He is looking after me though I may not always understand
- living by the coast
- a thoughtful supportive husband
