What I am up to today

Hi everyone,
I had many lovely birthday wishes from my dear online friends thank you.
My birthday didn't go off with a good start, since this lump appeared in my stomach the dress I planned to wear looked awful, hung so very wrong, I wanted to not only look good but feel good, so it was back to slacks and loose top. Things don't always work out the way we plan, nevertheless had a wonderful time, especially catching up with my sister who called in after work and stayed for many hours, we don't see a lot of each other just a couple of times a year and a double blessing with her presence and present of youth dew.
I had pretty birthday cards, my son Paul's a fun one 2 ladies over coffee, I am on two diets, friend said why 2? turn the page, well I never get enough to eat on one lol... loved what Paul wrote: Remember the free things in life are the most precious"
I am sure we can agree. May we count our blessings each day.
We have an appointment at the vet later, also need to go give my vote AV/ for or against at the Poll Station.
The weather quite overcast but I don't think any sign of rain which is badly needed now with wildfires raging across the UK besides much needed for the gardens and to replenish the resevoirs as we have experienced much dry warm weather for such a long time.
Whatever your plans have a great day.
Blessings Elaine.

Hi everyone Good evening,
I am glad to say I am feeling a lot better thankfully as I have had a rough few days, although I still need to go along to see my doctor with regard to the scan. A bit of a buzy time planned for next number of days, as it is my birthday on Wednesday. Paul and I been planning a few things for a couple of days plus some other appointments to fit in.
I was up very early this morning about 6.30am, switched on TV for the news to learn of Osama Bin Laden dead so thought I would go over to facebook to post, I am still very much learning, my first attempt for some reason did not go up when I clicked whats on your mind, I realise now I didn't hit enter, wondering where is my Wall lol managed to find after much clicking around..I must remember it is in Profile and I decided to click share, which got quite a few responding immediately and found this also came into my hotmail inbox notification replies which was so good as a couple of friends must have been online and I managed to find how to chat to Margaret actually member of family, also contact with two others where we had been managing together on two different MSN Groups when was up and running, also had a chat with two who rang me at home this was about 9.30am who I imagine had been online and although didn't reply thought Elaine is up lol. I was collecting material to post at my W.W.C. site but it was over two hours before I began doing so, a very very busy start to my day.
Hope everyone is doing OK.
My bit of news for today, off to post at my site and check-in other sites.
Blessings Elaine.

A late visitor who just left.

I am not without thoughts of what I see on the news, yet another quake in Japan ..what I saw on revelation TV a begining TsunamI of 9 means so many more expected, and yet today reported another.
Our thoughts and prayers need to go up the devestation and effects will and is contributing to us allWorldwide.

What I hold onto is God is in control and putting my trust in Him makes the difference. May God be in our lives in prayer
ALOW HIM SUCH A SIMPLE PRAYER COME INT MY LIFE.
When we pray
Blessings ~Elaine

Many may celebrate Palm Sunday
And I was ignorant actually according to Jewish Calendar it should be Saturday.

I was asked on Facebook would I celebrate Easter? and actually I replied in short
"I celebrate every day", so eggs and bunnies is not the norm for me to get excited about, but rememnber also what I believe Jesus came".
I may have not used those words but my checkin HERE today.
Actually although the calendar got changed for the date to co-incide with a pagan festival I don't have a BIG DEAL about with other than to bring actually if you do not believe:
The calendar will say B.C. and AD what does it meand Before Christ and After Christ. which recognise this happening.
Whether you indulge in giving of eggs or eating chocs I am happy for you.
Just to say take a thought a step back and wonder?even ask God tell me what is real.
Enjoy your chocs.

Blessings Elaine.

Hi everyone,
Another sunny day here in Wales with clouds and a bit cooler as was predicted.
Postings at my site was done earlier then I took time out.
I was watching a TV prog earlier "Holby City"
During this episode was a young girl around of age I would have been, aged 15, When I had a motobike accident as pillion rider, they talked of amputation of my arm and leg but this was based of the girls leg, I actually had two incisions but I noticed in the operating theatre of the wound which was opened they were deciding on to repair nerve ends, blood supplies, etc and testing from the toe if amputation was necessary to save the life, it was with much deliberation during the drama that these two surgeons eventually agreed to keep the leg and go for trying to repair which gave me some insight into what may have happened to me...Even so, at a later date we were faced with another possible amputation of the leg when gangrene had set in on my leg. I have always been grateful that I have all my limbs but this brought home once again how lucky I am.
Actually luck is not really a word I would want to use as I do believe in more than luck has happened in my life. No it has not been carefree quite the opposite and this is why I need to continue notes to write up a book which many have encouraged me to do and while doing so decided to be my checkin for today.
I am sure many of us could talk of life changing experiences.
Blessings Elaine..

Good Evening All,
Late at night for me well actually it is almost 1/4 past midnight for me and only now going around Forums I am able to get into as some having issues.
A very windy day here in Wales, I have been busy in the garden doing some small things while Paul my son done much cleaning of our Patio area, still lots to be done this time of year in the garden.
Well Aimoo is so slow once again and I had typed up on note pad to copy should my post not go out.
I think forever we will be saying how much MSN messed up so many of our lives even with their hiccups, yes we had them but the division caused have been such a heartache for so very, very, many of us who enjoyed to fellowship and interaction we all enjoyed and even though many, including myself have even though with reservations gone to facebook but it will NEVER be the same but I will soldior on to keep in touch as it seems many have taken that as their home these days.
I got somewhat up to date on Facebook, grrrrr I really didn't want to,
but must admit had "Welcome Back Elaine now the groups can all get back together and be like old times" I also had encouragements from others but I still must say it can never NEVER replace what we had.
I am so thankful for other Forums where we can still use a space which do not limit how many hmm lettering you can put in a post, if they allowed more then maybe they would grab me to LIKE!
I posted up some replies and signed some petitions. Replied to a few and one said your reply I am going to post up on my WALL "Do You Celebrate Easter" and even posted up petitions of my own IFAW Save the Animals. I am working my way learning and must admit I am finding contact with extended family also friends.


Easter celebration coming soon
Enjoy every day and celebrate.
A long time ago there was egg decorating exhibition project for Easter, I helped my son who was about 7 at the time explaining the reason for Celebrating Easter, so instead of decorating an egg Got a cardboard box he painted the grey outline and a hole in the wall left empty, we got some twig cuttings from the garden stuck them into some plastesine to create a garden, and the hard boiled egg rolled away from the opening grave place. There were many pretty eggs displayed and of course not as faberge but the headmistress of the school commented of Have you been to Israel? No! do you want this back? hmm No apparently she found favour on what was presented.
I personally celebrate the reason for the Season.
Love and blessings Elaine.
