Well, this special time of year is upon us and the excitement is running all around. This is a special time of the year for many people, but some for other reasons than the Birthday of Christ. I think in OUR part of the world, it has become the giving of gifts. So many people focus on this. Sales start before Thanksgiving now and with our land in a state of recession, vendor's are fighting for every SALE. Happy Holidays is the common statement made by many people to AVOID using Christ's name. Once He smiles upon us, life has a different meaning. I get asked a lot of times why I am always in such a good mood. HE is the reason for this. Once you are down like I was, He has a whole new meaning. He was an important part of my life before my accident but now He is the center of My Life.
My new position at work seems to working out well, but I have more pains than I did before. I wake up in the mornings and my right pelvic area hurts. I am not sure if I am working it enough to strengthen it or if I am going too far as to make it hurt from this over exertion. I love life and I love waking up every day and will deal with this pain long enough to figure out which way it is going. Time will tell me sometime soon and then I will know what to do to help this matter out. I noticed this afternoon that I can climb ladders at work easier than I could six months ago. This tells me that I am moving forward I just need to make sure it is not too fast. I don't want to go back to where I was a year and a half ago, but I also don't want to stay where I am for the rest of my life, either. Right now, I am working with people that I did not know before and some I have not seen in a while. It is a great feeling to get to know these people and to realize how they see life in general. Trying to sort out all of this information I am taking in is some what difficult at times, but this is a challenge for my mind, too. I don't feel like I am helping this project out much, but the guy over it tells me how great I am doing. I am doing a lot of comparing drawings to data and trying to figure out if it is right or not and make changes to it to make it right.
Betty has, as usual, or house dressed up for this time of year. Getting the stuff down from the attic in the garage is a lot harder than it used to be, but I can still help a lot with it. Matt is big enough to get in the attic area now and I am closer to the ground to lift it down to Tiff. That is a great thing to be a part of. This makes our time during this month feel special. Betty has always been one of those people that enjoys celebrating His Birthday.
Life is great and I am here to bother all the people that I love. It is a great thing to be a part of.
My love to you all. Talk to God if you need some help dealing with problems or just a friend to talk to. He is there and will listen. He made my life more pleasant and can do the same for you. PLEASE don't go there the same way I did, but allow Him to be there if you need Him.
Thanks. Mark 12/17/08
