Monday, I went to visit my hill cousin. We are very distant cousins. She is only 4’3” tall, but used to be almost 5 foot. I thought about buying her a ham, but ended up giving her cash. She was very appreciative but said a ham would have been even greater. She’s too weak to go in stores now she said. Only place she goes is to church and the doctor. So, today I traveling back up into those hills with a ham and a carton of eggs. She’s too weak to stand and cook. Also, too short. She has to climb on a stool to use the stove. I often think I have some issues— hurting knees, problem with a household item— but really I have no things to deal with that I can’t handle or get help to take care of.
I hurt my knee and am limping around. All I did was step off my porch wrong. I have one of those straps around it. Getting old is hard, but I want to live a long time so I need to pull my boot straps and push on. I thank my Lord for all His blessing to me.
I feel the same way.I am 87 years old and have no health problems. I am blessed! I take s blood pressure pill...the smallest amount they can prescribe and a thyroid pill again,the smallest amount that can be prescribed. My left thumb stays swollen all the time but it seldom hurts.

ReplyDeleteI bet the ham and eggs were well received! Hope your knee gets better. Getting older is a challenge:(
ReplyDeleteI can still enjoy life, and that's what counts. I'm thankful for that.
