Feeling 'punk?' This might help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpbSY2iOB4U

Good Afternoon, or what is the most appropriate greeting to you, in your part of the world.

Have been feeling rather 'punk' today; and thus 'laying low'. The body has bittidical little energy; and so I am listening to its 'signals'. The doctor has not called; so here is hoping that yesterday's X-rays did not show up with any bit broken bones! Have to confess, the ankle / foot is quite tid sore;(is also an eyesore to look at); and I have not taken any more 'pills' for anti-inflammatory and / or painkillers; as they are upsetting my stomach, methinks. At any rate, I am heeding the 'RICE' advice; which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

It is pouring madly with rain; so it is extra cosy to be in our bed; surrrounded by many comfy pillows; including ones elevated for my left foot. Am not one to usually sit or lie down for long periods of time; however, I am paying close attention to various tidbitical ' body signals ' at this time. Have been restfully watching bittids of movies and tidbits of news from our bedroom T.V; and I figure, best to simply resign to the ' RICE ' strategy, and 'nip this injury in the bud' pronto! I thought about reading, but am not into it. It is a good day to stay put in a warm bed; and generally I never watch T.V. from our bed, unless we have retired for the night and / or on Sundays, when I am 'glued' to the Vision Channel!

Looking out our bay window, everything looks so green and lush; and it is wonderful to see all the blooms taking such sprightly spring form. Have also enjoyed catching tid glimpses of hummingbirds, robins, chickadees, finches (there are also gorgeous tid tiny yellow finches' - a migratory species flocking to massive green -ie to our big tree!)etc; flying about and jumping from bit branch to branch; even in this deluge of rain.

"Sometimes with all that goes on during a day and all that we go to bed with thinking at night.... we (everyone) have to let all that go and realize that we are but a "vapor" in time compared to our eternal life in Heaven. When that happens there is no better way than to just "Turn Our Eyes Upon Jesus" and let him renew, feed, love and give us what he intended us to have "peace"...... just take a moment and do "nothing" but listen to him as we cover ourselves in his love ......"

The above heartfelt message / song is from our kind friend, Steve. Thank you Steve; it has been an encouraging bit of an uplift to me; and I hope it also is, to those who read today's tid post. The scenery is magnificently beautiful as well.

Tidbit - Make the best of things; even when you are having to 'lay low'. 'Going with the flow'; and even those of you, who are currently on the RICE plan! LOL! Also, life can be a 'waiting game' at times; so just 'let go' and enjoy the journey, while you 'wait' in FAITH, for Him to Provide the Solutions for you!

Bittid - Appreciate each and every day; and enjoy the moments of each day; as best as you can, with His Guidance. 'Praise Him in ALL Things' and having a genuinely 'thankful' heart is good.

God Bless.
