Truly Humbled....

When I started blogging it was because I love to write and express myself...plus I thought someone somewhere might actually enjoy reading about all of my adventures.  Never did I think that this blog would connect me with people that are genuinely concerned about my well being and that would honestly and truly make a difference in my life.  From being there for me when I messed up Venti's HAIRCUT 2 days before he got married....or when I mistakenly CUT my dress for the Wedding.  All of your kind and encouraging comments about my Dad mean so much to me!  I read every single one and reading each one has lessened my guilt that I was feeling thinking that I was the one that was responsible for him falling.
I do believe that it was God's plan that I stopped to say hi so that I was there to help him when he fell.  I did not know the dog was going to run so therefore it was not my fault.  It was a horrible thing to watch and I still can't get the image out of my head but I have learned to not have that sinking feeling of guilt when I think about him.

He is still in the hospital.  It has been a week and a day and he hasn't really improved much.  He is having double vision, he get confused about things, he can't speak a whole sentence and he has no appetite and is hardly eating anything.  We are doubting the care he is receiving (or lack of) and I am calling tomorrow to speak to the Social Worker about it.  He was on Morphine every 2 hours for the pain in his head but that didn't touch it.  Now they have him on Dilata which is a narcotic too and as soon as they give it to him, he is knocked out which is somewhat good because then he can rest but I'm not sure if that is good for him or not.  They did another Cat Scan this morning and we didn't hear what the results were yet.  Every day we are hoping and praying that he will be better.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

On a positive note, my Mom who had broken her leg (or so we thought) went today to have her cast redone because a doctor in the hospital just happened to look at it when he came in to see my Dad and told her that her cast wasn't on right (it was put on by her Podiatrist because he is a friend of hers!).....so she went to an Orthopedic Surgeon today and he took the cast off and said that it was the worse cast he has ever seen and was even going to save it to show as an example of a "bad" cast....they did an x-ray and here it isn't even broken!!  She left cast free and is able to drive which is wonderful because now she can take herself back and forth to the hospital which she is so happy about because she feels like she is an inconvenience (even though she isn't!)....my Dad actually smiled when she told him that they took the cast off!!

Thank you again for being such wonderful friends.  Hugging you all!!!

My Heart is ready to burst!

You guys are the BESTEST friends anyone could ask for!  There is so much love in here and I am so thankful to have met such a wonderful group!

Nuf said!

If you don't have anything nice to say.....

Thank you all for your words of encouragement about my job! Yesterday was my first "real" day and I was able to sit a couple of times throughout the day which did help! I will give it some time as I don't want to make a decision right away.   I was able to read some of your lovely blogs last night and that sure did make my week! I was so delighted to see that I got two lovely awards!

 Thank you VERY much to RO MAGNOLIA at Soft Winds and Roses and ROBIN at Your Daily Dose!!

When I started blogging I had no idea the kind of people that I would meet and the friends that I would make.  I feel so fortunate to have you guys as friends and I don't take our friendship lightly.  I am here for you should you need anything and I know that I can count on any of you for advice, support, pep talks....just about anything!!

When I visit my blogging friends I always leave a comment.  And that comment is always positive and I try to be supportive as any friend should be!  I receive lots of comments as well which I love and read every single one of them....even the bad ones....yes...the bad ones.  I have only received 2 negative comments so far.  If you missed the first one, you can read it HERE.

So yesterday I receive this comment:

You may want to correct your "About Me" –the term is "used to" not "use to."  Just putting that out.

Who does that?  Ok so my grammar isn't correct but it is MY blog and if I want to say "use to" then shouldn't I be able to without having someone correct me?  I would NEVER ever tell someone that they aren't using the correct grammar!  This comment wasn't even from one of my friends and so I am disregarding it!

I am here to be your friend and am loving the friendship in return. I don't like negativity and to me I have the saying that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!

And you know what?

And I'm proud of it!
