I did okay for most of the day. A lot of pets were visiting (Got my fix)however, it took a toll on me. I was on the nebulizer and oxygen a lot. I went to bed early and slept like a rock!... [Read more]

We don't think of it most of the time. It's a gift we take for granted. I have COPD and asthma. I have been sick since before December. On and off with severe bouts. I use a nebulizer and vials of medicine 4x daily plus Am and Pm COPD Medicine. I received a gift finally on late Friday afternoon... Oxygen!! How sweet this is that I can take full breaths freely. I must wear it at night, since my oxygen level drops below a safe level. Up until then I had labored breathing. I thank God... [Read more]

I had a severe bout of a chest cold that didn't help my COPD. Ended up at the pulmonologist and needless to say, I'll be doing further testing for my oxygen levels and breathing exercises. After that, the doctor will decide whether or not I will need oxygen, when and how much. Since December 3rd, it's been real. I'm glad to be back to participate with WDC and do whatever I can. I sure missed you guys!... [Read more]

Trying to keep up with life has been a real chore. If it isn't my mother-in-law who is 88, it is my husband's photo fairs. In between all this, my asthma and COPD has given me grief. But hey, I'm out of bed and standing! I have scrambled to keep up with my Dynamic Reviewing Class, doing reviews for the Power Group, etc. I need time for SAJ and for writing...So when will this happen? ... [Read more]

I remembered, cried and enjoyed too, the celebrating of September 11, 2011. It is the tenth anniversary already and I can't believe it. Before I went to sleep last night, I saw the blue beams representing the two towers and I was humbled and proud. All those lives taken and it was surely sad. However, those blue beams of light shooting straight up into the night sky say to me: "No one can bring us down." Thank God I'm American and God Bless America!... [Read more]

I'm missing my little "Cara Sedona" already. My mind has been on diapers, bottles and watching my children (new parents) with awe. I remember when I had my first child. It is over-whelming and scarey. I spent two days sorting through 4-500 photos to put up on my Photo Bucket. It was worth it and now I can go look at them at any given time. Back to Skype in the interim and what lies ahead with my family. Our children are grown up and I feel so very old. Bringing up my kids was a ... [Read more]

I have to stop writing on Sara and go to NJ soon to visit my first grandchild. I hope I get some inspiration to get back at it when I return. I know how it will end, but I'm having trouble with the fifth chapter. I don't know whether I have a writer's block, thinking about my grandchild or the Casey Anthony Trial. This is so sad I have cried. A beautiful child that never made her third birthday.... [Read more]

My son and I chose the name Grammy, so I wouldn't be confused with all of the other grandparents...lol He wanted it that way. I'm still shaking my head that my youngest son Chris and his wife Casey presented me with their gift of love, almost three weeks early!

My sister,niece and her two and a half year-old came to visit us here in Arizona. I was impressed by little Katie's vocabulary. She actually talks in sentences and it was like talking to a little adult. These little people are so much fun to be around and are so refreshing. They remind you that the little things in life can be forgotten by our own stressful adult lives. To see the world through a child's eyes makes us remember the joys that we once knew. I am looking forward to b... [Read more]
