Have Good Attention

Another area putting  our attention 

forward  to  others.

This  is  true  whether we know the

other person well or not. In fact it

doesn't matter how they treat us

too. We should  treat everyone  the 

same. 

Treating others with our attention 

should  be exactly  how we want 

to treated. ☺☺😊😊

Honoring Others

On social media I saw a friend not
only wishing her older sister's a
happy birthday on Saturday along
with honoring her the person, she
is.

Saturday was my younger brother

Jack's birthday as well. He is a

pretty good younger brother.

We have actually four birthdays'

in our family in January. The

busiest month of all. 

It begins with my sister on January

7 followed by her son Connor on  

the 8th and her son Ken on the 18th.

My sister Barb is a bit older than me

so don't really remember growing up

with her. Mainly she was a teenager

than a college student than got married.

It is important to honor our siblings

along with our friends as well. They

often make up who we are too. Amen!

In and Out with a Bang

The new year and month here in
Western Washington came with a
lot of rain. 

We had about eight inches of rain

in the first two weeks and little

since. Expect rain to end the month.

This is raining season after all here

in the area. Nice to see a change for

a couple weeks.  There were days

of overcast during these two weeks,

however, the sun made its appearance

recently as well.

We always enjoy the sun when it 

comes out this time of the year.

People get out and enjoy it as 

well. 

A Learning Process

I have never have had what I  would call

a serious  injury before until this shoulder. 

I am learning a lot for sure. I  have no 

problem sitting or walking. The problem 

happens more when I  am lying down

especially  when  I am sleeping.

When I woke up this morning a lot of

pain in the shoulder. I know where I 

can place my shoulder but when

sleeping it obviously moves.

I expect when I continue over time 

the shoulder will be stronger. Like

many other challenges important 

not to be  discouraged. 😉😉

The Right Approach

I am taking what I think is the 

right approach for my right shoulder.

Like everything else in life time will

tell.

Thursday which is today I will have 

my second physical therapy session.

I am trying to use my right shoulder

or I guess to say right arm to do

more things. I  tried my left arm

to help out but it is getting sore in

in the process.

Reaching above my head I will still

need to use my left arm or hand to

reach things since I go above half way with my right there is a lot of pain.

Fortunately I don't do that very often.

Wish me the best as I wish you the

best always. 😊😊😊

Evaluation Day

We are in the middle  of  the work 

week. A good  time to evaluate 

how are week  has been  going on.

We learn from  the  positives well

as the negative. Allows us to press

on the rest of the  week.

Feel  comfortable about it make 

a list and then look at the end of

the week to see improvement. 😊😊😊

Learn A Little Bit

It is Tuesday and I hope you 

learned something  from 

Monday. 

Every  morning we should be

grateful waking up and think

about what we learned from

the day before. Also, what

we want  to learn from today.

Relaxation

Hello  Monday 

I hope you  had a  relaxing weekend. 

My definition of  relaxation is doing

something  that  does not stress you 

like a hobby or sport.

Though you may love your job there

usually  some stress involved so 

outside of work  doing anything 

without stress is good.

May you  have a good and rewarding 

week. Even during  the week good to

relax as well.  It maybe different than 

the weekend. Amen!

Time Can't Come Fast Enough

I have one more day until physical 

therapy,  however,  can't come fast

enough. 

I am  sure we all have felt the same 

way now and then.

I will breathe a good  fresh air

tomorrow  morning when I  walk

into  the physical therapy  place.

I hope things feel good even on 

the first day. In the  time right

now I will  have joy around those

I see. Amen!  😊😊😊

Things Going Well

It is always good to know how everyone is
doing. I enjoy writing here every day as you
can imagine.

There is a small group I see a few mornings

at the coffee shop I attend. I enjoy listening

and learning from them. I hope they get

encouraged by whatever I have to say.

The important thing is to be there for 

others regardless what is happening. 

These men I didn't know at all before

meeting them at the coffee shop, however,

I consider them friends now.

I see other groups in the coffee shop as well.

Some of them meet once a week while 

others daily. Some of them go to church

together or friends in other ways.

My thought is for everyone to find a 

group whether it is with those you 

have known for a while or new people.

God bless you for a wonderful weekend. 

A Good Drive

Has been  a  while  so I decided 

Thursday  was a good  day  for 

a drive.

The weather  wasn't  the greatest 

however it usually  not in January.

I decided  to  drive to  Sequim 

Washington. Sequim  doesn't 

get a lot of rain  unlike the rest

of the state.  Only  about ten 

inches a year. Compare  where

I live where 45 inches is common.

In fact January  we have almost

ten inches already.

Used to be going to Sequim  driving 

on highway 101 go right through it.

Now have to  take exit going into

Sequim. It has been a  few years  for

me to go into Sequim. It certainly 

different than  before. A lot more 

stores and I  am sure homes on the 

outskirts. That is the way these days

many towns and  cities are  a lot

larger. Certainly my town Gig Harbor 

is.

Takes Faith

Whether it is my shoulder  taking time

or something  else in our lives it will 

take faith to accomplish  it.

Faith is  believing in  the impossible 

or something  we have endured for

a long time. 

We don't have to have a lot of faith 

it only takes a  little. Amen!

Arm Sling

I have found using an arm sling is

helpful  when I am walking or sitting. 

Not so much  when lying down  or

sleeping.

It took me  a  couple of  days  to  figure

to get up without  my shoulder  from

hurting. The same was putting  on  shirt 

or coat. I  found putting the left side

first was easier and not hurting  as much.

When comes to  our life purpose and 

using some wisdom good  to  figure

the best way  to  do  things.
