May your Monday be filled to the brim and overflowing with love.
As I sit here grumbling because I have to stay still and do nothing (compressing, icing and elevating leg), I realize that I am a blessed woman. God has provided me with what I need, some of what I want but most of all with love. I am surrounded by love...
I have been babying my left leg, as much as I can stand to anyway, by icing it, using compression wraps and elevating it. Of course we won't go into how I walked 10 miles yesterday in 1 hour and 50 minutes and 29 seconds...we will just leave that in the past. I was walking, not running so I was behaving-ish! (Yes, I realize that is not a word, I just made it up) I have a knot in my lateral hamstring tendon that is a bit sore but not too bad. All in all I cannot really complain, as I know there are others who are much worse off. I will heal...God is good, All the time and All the time, God is good!

Have a blessed day!
Godspeed...this comes from the Middle English expression "God spede (you)", a wish for success and fortune for one setting out on an enterprise, voyage, adventure, or travels. It may also mean good luck.

ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for coming by...blessings!
DeleteYou WALKED 10 miles in an hour and 50 minutes? Do you realize that I RAN 10 miles this past weekend and it took me an hour and 53 minutes?!?!?!? You are AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteEM, you are the amazing one girlie...
DeleteMake sure if it doesn't go away in a week, see a physician to determine it's not a torn muscle or a stress fracture.
ReplyDeletePatty, I will and thanks so much for coming by, blessings!
DeleteIndeed God is good and we can see evidence of His goodness all around us. Hope that leg gets to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much Wanda...The evidence is astounding!

DeleteWhat a great perspective! You are right- we are blessed in so many ways. But I am so sorry that you're injured... hope it's 100% soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie, perspective is everything!
DeleteHello. Cramp in your leg, you say? Knot a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI've just made it out of hibernation. I think if I walked ten feet in 110.5 minutes I would be doing well.
Blessings and Bear hugs. I'll be back, Shannon.
Rob, so glad to see you! Glad you are coming out into the sunshine!
DeleteHope you heal soon and are back to running again!
