You
may have noticed I’ve not posted a blog for the past two weeks. Why? Because I
had surgery on the middle finger of my right hand and I wasn’t aware that the
healing process would keep me from the computer for so long.
To
prepare, I’d written and scheduled one post ahead but, in reality, I’d needed
three! So here I am, finally able to be at the computer.
What have I learned these past three plus weeks?
Little
Things Do Mean A Lot
Little
Things like
Tying
my shoes
Buttoning
and zipping clothing items
Putting
on a bra
Flossing
my teeth
Cutting
food
Dishing
something up out of a bowl
Wearing pants
Changing clothes
Changing clothes
Even
now after over three weeks, my finger is weak and the knuckle that was involved sore. It certainly lets me know when I’ve overdone!
While
I would not wish these past three weeks on anyone, I do know that I have a
renewed appreciation for the ability to do these little things that make my
life easier and soo much nicer.
My
plans now include resuming writing on Gabriella,
the sixth book in The Sacred Women’s Circle series. So when you are reading
this, know that my fingers will be moving across the keys! Perhaps not up to
their pre-surgery fluidity and speed but well on the way. Little things do mean
a lot!

Glad to know you are on the mend and back at the keyboard!
Thanks, Madelle - in some ways I'm glad for the other changes in my life right now (my granddaughter and her baby just moved back in with me) because I'm almost too busy to notice I don't have the time to write. We'll have a routine in a week or so which should coincide nicely with my fingers being able to fly over the keys.
We take so many things for granted until we lose them, don't we? We've been having trouble with our well. I have a new appreciation of what it means to have running water!
Glad you are healing well.
You are so right, Sarah. We do take many things for granted. Sending easily running water when you need it energy your way!!!
