30 Days Of Thanksgiving (Days 1 through 6)

I am getting a late start on my 30 Days Of Thanksgiving posts thanks to a Hurricane named Sandy so it's time to play a little bit of catching up.  This has become an annual tradition for me here on Diggin' Around that I look forward to each year and it's ever so much more meaningful this year after seeing the utter & heartbreaking devastation locally & state-wide because of Sandy.  I invite you, regardless of your location, affected by Sandy or not, to spend this month appreciating your blessings, whatever they are, big and small, with me daily.

November 6th - I'm thankful for the right to Vote which so many around the world don't have and thankful Hubbs & I have made a point of going to vote together since we've been a couple. I used to look forward to voting when I was younger, was even excited to do so. As I get older, it weighs on me more & more. But, I gladly & with appreciation exercise my right to vote (in every election from local to national).

November 5th: I was so thankful my doctor opened one of his offices to make sure those of us who needed iv's, injections & prescription renewals got them, especially with the nor'easter coming.


November 4th: Thankful to do what ever I personally can do to help, though it may seem small to me or not enough in the scheme of things, it's what I can do and I know it'll help someone.


November 1st, 2nd & 3rd: So so thankful for faring batter with Sandy than we did Irene & counting all of our blessings (that's a given for every day through the rest of this month) and so thankful that all of our family & friends are okay (in spite of some suffering awful losses).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?

journey for 2008

as i sit here typing this by our bedroom window, a few rumbles of thunder have sounded off in the distance, the balmy air is kicking up into a breeze and rain has begun to fall again. there was thunder early this morning too, while i slept, it woke me just enough. we're at an odd spot here for weather ~ the bay only a mile or 2 behind us and the ocean to its' right, only a few miles to our side, (though it's really all the same water, isn't it?!). we've been here just over 2 years and most of the time i still cannot tell in which direction the clouds are really moving! much of the time, storms circle over head because of those bodies of water and out front, seem to be going this way and out back, seem to be going that way! i have wanted to write about what i want to do with 2008 for some time, but i've been finding it very difficult to translate what i'm feeling into concrete, specific words that don't sound hokey (to me!)! i can tell you that these feel...

i now believe in the power of vitamin d!

i started taking calcium with vitamin d(3) sometime last year, either late summer or fall. almost immediately i noticed a drastic change in my pain & swelling levels, overall. i’d only been taking it about a week! the only thing i was doing differently at that time was that i’d started taking the supplement! (my obgyn had been bugging me to start calcium supplements, blah, blah, blah...!) i did a bit of hunting around out in cyber space and found that vitamin d deficency has been linked to all kinds of things like depression, autoimmune diseases like lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and others! i was surprised to learn this as i’ve had a "compromised" immune system for about 15 years or so (that’s when i started getting sick at least) and not 1 doctor i’ve ever been to ever mentioned that 1 of the possible causes could be vitamin deficency! but, it made sense to me! more recently, i read an article in the january/february edition of mother earth news ma...
