Hello sweet friends, how are all of you doing? I am fine. As many of you know, I had surgery 1 week ago today. I am amazed at the progress of where I was last week till now. I am blessed with my family and friends here taking great care of me. However, I am incredibly blessed by my online support. You guys have been amazing at checking in on me and praying. I know without a shadow of doubt, that the prayers of you my sweet bloggy friends, helped me in my recovery. So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Over all I have done well. Each day has ups and downs. It is amazing at how much we take for granted in things we can do for ourselves on a daily basis. Then have a surgery and realize you can't do anything without help. I am not one to sit around and do nothing, so I am struggling with the recovery a little. At first I was so dependant and in pain. However, now I am able to do somethings (like go to the bathroom all by myself............this was a big accomplishment) although I am still frustrated by the inactivity. I will not lie, I had me a crying feel sorry for myself party for one this AM. Complaining that I could not get up, can't lay on my side, sick of being in bed or on couch, sick of asking for help, can't cook, can't even fix my own drink...............okay you get the idea.....it was ugly. I know, I have to just get my big girl pants on, and get over it!!!!!  I know I have to take it easy and let others take care of me.............I am a nurse and I have gave the speech to many, many others before. I will be back to normal very soon, and then will probably complain that I have to do everything and have no help. It really makes you think, God is so good. His grace and patience are amazing.............and I don't deserve it at all. I am whiney, selfish, and grumpy at times.........and yet God still loves me. No matter how I act or what I do, God is still God and I AM VERY thankful for that. This down time has given me a lot of thinking and pondering time. I have learned that I love God even more. His Grace is sufficient. I am truly blessed with a wonderful God, incredible husband, the best kids, and wonderful friends IRL and online.

So with all of that, there are no reasons to have a crying fit.......................I am too blessed!!!! Thanks to all of you out there who have supported me, I love you guys!!!!

Well enough about me...........I made a slide show before the surgery and have yet to share it. I have 2 little soccer players this season. Our family has always enjoyed soccer. Hubby played for years and coached as well. So here are a few pics of the season so far....

Thanks for listening to all my rambling this AM.

Be blessed,

Chasity
