JANUARY 24, 2014

SINCE THE DAY I DIED, I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE ALIVE...

One of my very first entries was a story I called 'Hip Trip' recounting some of my adventures with a total hip replacement surgery on June 18, 2013; and all these months, the healing journey has continued with all it's facets...Some expected; Some a mind bender.....I researched much and prepared diligently for what was to come with the surgery, home recovery, physical therapy,....all of it...I found, as the body did it's amazing mending, that left time for the next round....the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the journey had come to the surface and to light. And I began to recall and really allow myself to feel the 'meaning' of the news..."surgery went perfectly but....you "coded"....plain and simple....your blood pressure bottomed out and your heart stopped beating........chest compressions and couple of medicines brought me back..

And I wept...
                                                                    


.......and I've been 'there' a month or so now...


and yet, here we are, nearly at the end of the first month of the New Year....


And I tell you...I am more alive, more excited, fearless about Life, then ever before in my 66 years of being Here! Nearly Joy unspeakable and full of Glory as I came to realize The Great Physician never left my side for a moment, keeping watch over me! and guiding every single hand in that operating arena.

He says to me, Peggy, Daughter, Beloved, You wonderful Smalltown Girl...I know the plans I have for you!! To give you a Future and a Hope...........

Oh Happy Day!......

........and the Journey continues

Shall we walk some of those Roads Together? I'd love that!  : )
