@bethany @sinbach I'm not sure encouragement would make much difference.....I did that with a JW once...not a scammer, well of course, he was in one sense...stood there until he got frustrated and walked off....I was having a bad moment and the opportunity to unwind a bit presented itself

Never had a JW to the door ever again though 😜 So I certainly, successfully, accomplished something......

A few years ago....I'm sure I've matured by now. I'm growing a beard 😂

@bethany it isn't quite a linear recovery. But it's definitely more up than down 🙂

Being grateful has become a whole lot easier. That's is for certain!!

Be grateful, even for the small things you can accomplish

Today I'm making our bed.

Last time I tried to tidy it up, I had my first cut to deal with while on blood thinners - from a bolt that holds the frame together.

But I'm learning to get on with what I can do, when I can do it, and be peaceful when - like this morning - I felt a little in need of a bit more rest.

But this afternoon that extra resting (not my favourite activity.....at all....like ever!!!!!!) has paid off as I'm able to, slowly but surely, put fresh bedding on our bed.

For me that is an achievement, and one that I'm feeling very blessed to be able to do today.

I've even organised the table dryer loaded, loaded the washing machine myself.

Small things, but important. And each one I feel blessed to be able to do, as I start to get back with the idea of living.

So, put really simply count your blessings!!

Bit slower and more sluggish this morning.

But God is still good, and the good moments are increasing, while moments like now are fading!

How's my DingDash family doing today?

@DevotionalTreasures beautifully penned and on target, with a great encouragement to stay closer to Jesus during the Christmas period

@Olamide I know one good thing and his name is Olli D :-)

@faith20 amen

@Olamide multi talented man o (with great hair!)

@Olamide intereating bridge from nirvana

Oh my man you bring such joy o

@faith20 and you. I hoped they'd be encouraging...despite not really knowing what to say

Your words when I had Covid were deeply encouraging to my family.

Blessings

MOT day today (annual check on the car to see if it is good, mechanically)...and my very brief stay in hospital has certainly changed something. Cos when Jo wakes up and gets out of bed, I can no longer sleep, cos i miss her too much.

Anyway, morning DingDashers

Here's to life, and breathing, and peaceful hearts

@faith20 Crying while reading your message. I'm not sure what to say to respond to this. Its just so dreadful to see.

All I can say is I agree with you about DingDash, because we've made some amazing friendships with brothers and sisters, like you.

We've been praying for you for a while now, and will continue do so.

Please keep me posted.

I can only offer my time in prayer for a supernatural intervention for you.

As I have known peace during our own very tough November, because of my brothers and sisters on DD - just like you - I pray you continue to know His peace and provision over in Italy

Your brother
