Well, it didn't happen! I've been off work for actually 7 weeks, all those "projects" that I thought I'd get done, the photo albums, recipe books, cleaning out paperwork......just didn't get to them.
Most of my time was spent horizontally, reading, watching TV, reading, did make it back and forth to the refrigerator (ugh). Due to my surgery I was limited to sitting for long periods, standing or walking.
Except for the excess weight (ugh), my quiet time was great. For the first time in my life, God was able to keep me still long enough to "speak" to me. I'll be returning to work tomorrow, rested, refreshed and renewed in my spirit. I do homemaking services for clients with the Visiting Nurses Association, sometimes I'm the only one they see for days. Just being there and visiting with them can be more healing than cleaning their floors, dusting or shopping for them.
In this time off, I've had 2 visitors ( not complaining) but gives me a good understanding of how important my position can be. I have really been "out of the loop" socially and spiritually and am ready to circulate again.
I have rediscovered the pleasure of reading, meditating and prayer. Hey, I learned to "Blog" and joined Facebook!!! That was a crack-up for some of my family..."Granny got her Face On!"
I have lots to share, and when I'm standing at the kitchen window I compose awesome tales and stories. I'm brilliant!!! But somehow once I make it to the computer......where did that "brilliance" go. So, I will just go day by day, somedays I'm great, somedays, it's a wash......but I'm enjoying the trip.
Hope you all have a great week! If you get a chance, check out Old Lady Lincoln's blog. She has some awesome stuff.

Don't go over doing things your first week back at work. I know what you mean, I can think of great things while running the sweeper, doing dishes, folding laundry and mowing the yard. I guess I need to tie a small notebook and pencil around my neck to jot things down. LOL I guess that's mostly the reason I post things someone else has written. Have a great week.
