Tune-In-Tuesday: February 5, 2019

I’m not going to lie – this past week has been tough walking-wise. I know why too. It’s a trifecta of stress, changes in weather and that time of the month (sorry, that may be too much information, but it’s the truth!). I have struggled majorly. It really culminated starting Thursday and continues today. It’s frustrating, annoying and tiring - oh so tiring. But, I’m whining now, so I’ll stop!

Yoga continues to be a source of healing and a huge stress reliever. I feel so much better after doing it. I seem to walk better too – although not all the time. There are times I’m all over the place with yoga. I can’t balance, I fall over, but the one constant is that my instructor encourages me and pulls out my strengths. I am pretty sure that 99.9% of why I like yoga so much is because of my instructor. She is a blessing!

Another stress-reliever this week was the Puppy Bowl at work! Adoptable dogs from our local Humane Society were brought in for us to love on. One dog particularly stole my heart. His name is Jonathan. I was “this close” to adopting him before I found out he was already spoken for. It was purely an emotional response that I had and I’m so glad he had already been claimed! But I got my “puppy fix” and stress just melted away. This pic is NOT of me with Jonathan, but another little pup who’s name escapes me at the moment.

This pup was interested in licking the bottom of my shoe. It was the only time I could get a picture of him standing still!

I’ve been blessed with help when I’ve needed it the most. God hasn’t failed me yet. Although my dad would love for me to use a cane on hard days, my stubborn self won’t use it for fear of becoming dependent on it again. However, God has provided in the form of people. I was struggling a lot on Sunday and was worried I wouldn’t make it into church without falling and then God provided a person to help me in. Thank you, Gary. 😊

I found some great quotes/sayings this past week. OK, I didn’t find them – I stole them from friends on Facebook, but I love their messages:

I’m still at a standstill on what to do next about the DBS electricity. My gut says to wait another week on the level that I’m on – that this is just a hiccup – and things will get better. But then part of me wants to try the next step – switching to a new frequency (Group D) and trying that. What to do, what to do?!… I may even change it tonight. No one's ever accused me of having an excess of patience - ha! It's already been 2 and 1/2 weeks, so I've given it enough time to "do its thing". But, since I'm actually changing frequencies it's a little more involved. And by that I mean, I'll have to dig the manual out with the instructions on how to do it. I'll guess you'll have to read next week's blog to find out what I did.

This Bible verse was originally on the desktop calendar that my grandmother gave me for Christmas:

But then I looked it up in the NIV I like their translation better:

It gave me strength and made me stop and remember: God’s Got This!
