Easter Monday

hope you all had a really good Easter weekend ...  enjoying the many blessings God has surrounded us with ... i shake my head in wonderment when i  stop to count my own blessings!  wow!

i was able to sit down for a meal at my aunt's place on sunday ... surrounded by cousins, and their in-laws/out-laws  ... was really great ... leo and indie stayed at home ... i'm glad little indie is good company for leo!

the pic i've posted  was taken at my aunt's ... we got this great wind/rain storm while i was there - marvellous cloud formations passed through ... i loved it ... made me think of the song "the days of Elijah" ... i was humming it to myself ... smiling ...

well tomorrow is another doctor's appt. for leo ... and would you believe that we will be seeing yet another new doc ... yup ... we're not sure if the fellow we saw for a year will be coming back or not ... we have really liked all the new doctors, but i am praying for some stability in that area ... i find it stressful to meet someone who is a stranger to us, and doesn't know leo's case ... but in all this, God knows, so i either have faith ... or i don't have faith ... right?

and if you are wondering about maria ... she is doing well ... some bumps in the road, but her spirits remain good ... they changed her cast on that ankle, so far they have not mentioned amputation again ... we are thankful along with her ...

just saying hello on this day the Lord has made ... may you be blessed in it!

Beautiful pic, and it does go with that song! Glad you had a nice day. I was working but we had a nice dinner with just us 3 when I came home.

Saija, I appreciate your blog. I live with chronic pain. Some days it is better than others.

I love your wonderful attitude about life. It is beautifully inspiring.

God bless you.

Whispering a prayer about the new Dr.~~~ It must be wonderful to have a large family...and yet, I am a wallflower gal...grin. Better in small groups for sure. We are loving this sunshine and summer temps....how-be-it..oh so temporarily. Hubby is cutting the grass and the lilacs are budding. *hugs* to you dear Saija.

Can only imagine how stressful seeing a new doc is. Hopefully the last one kept good notes so there won't be any lag to care. Good to hear about Maria. You're all so much in my thoughts and prayers.
