2010 has come and gone, and there has been nothing recorded. Not that it was an uneventful year, but just because I really never got into the “writing spirit”! I never seemed to be able to do things in a timely manner. I think the economy set the pace and since I was on a downward spiral, I never quite made it “up”. There have, however, been a few notable events worth mentioning here.
First of all, Billye received her Master of Arts in the School of Education (Culture Curriculum, Change) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2009 and went on to become a Doctoral Candidate this year. This has been monumental to me!
I also became the owner of a cuddly Shih tzu puppy in April 2009. I call him Oreo because of his beautiful black and white coat. I “adopted” one of the daughters of the Lady who sold him to me and am presently mentoring her in my home. Her name is Lela and she is a beauty, too! There will be more about her later. Between 2008 and 2010 I lost a lot of weight (100 lbs.) and no longer use Insulin to manage diabetes. Arthritis still has it’s hooks in me though, and I recently (September 10th) underwent Cervical surgery through my neck to repair four spinal disks that were causing a lot of pain there and in my shoulders. The back and hips are next on the agenda if I decide to go through with the surgery, four more disk will be replaced. I also had cataract surgery on my right eye. I still have "flashes" but I also still have 20/20 vision in both eyes! amazing! Isn't it?
Overall, I think I can say that my health improved this year. I look better, walk better, sleep and eat better, and I certainly feel better. Still there are some aches and pains but they are just reminders of how I used to be and of how good God has been to me throughout this year. Ain't God Great? Yes He is!!! Time to go to New Year's Eve Service at Salem. I will continue later.... Be Blessed!
