Four months have passed since my last post on this blog. Several times I took photos to post, but they weren’t very good. There were the snow drops with their early beauty. The focus was too soft. Another shot featured our tree trimmer up in the birch tree. The angle was all wrong. In some cases, I couldn’t get past the chronic pain (my constant companion) to go for photos.
I’ve shed about forty pounds in the last two years. This has helped reduce the pain level quite significantly. In January, I switched to a grain-free diet. This has reduced hand tremors. At least it did until I cheated to indulge a craving for fish and chips. The change was dramatic as terrible tremors returned.
The best thing that has happened in these past four months is that our granddaughter has completed the requirements for an MS degree in nursing education. We are so very proud of Briana.
Looks like she will be teaching the next generation of nurses. I feel good about that.
Even bad pictures can be fun. I post them all the time. I don’t know about everyone else, but I have fun with them.
The operative words are “can be.” These didn’t make that cut. Thanks for the visit and the words of encouragement.
Hi Chuck! Good to see you back! Although, I am sorry to hear of your pain and the struggle with fine-tuning the diet. It is amazing the effects of our food these days…and I play with what works best for myself as well.
Briana continues to amaze and wow us. She is surely a smart, ambitious and beautiful young woman. You can see the changes in her in that photo. She is so grown up!
I hope you continue to post every now and again. We do like to hear from you and Sylvia. Even if you have fuzzy photos! Hey…mine aren’t all that good either. 🙂
Thanks, Lin. You are always encouraging to others.
Our food can make such a huge difference in our bodies, but also our minds. It certainly has made me a different man than I was two or three years ago.
One of Briana’s passions these days is for rock climbing. As in school days, she keeps her mind and body in excellent condition.
I will try to post from time to time.
Congratulations to your beautiful granddaughter (and to her justly proud grandparents).
Glad you are back! I enjoy your posts and pictures of country living.
I have stopped posting because I can no longer answer comments. When/if I get that corrected I will be back on Blogger.
Thanks for those kind words, Vee. I wondered why nothing from you was showing up in Feedly. Have you checked through settings?
Go Briana! And you take care of yourself, Chuck. btw it is good to see you back. You have been missed.
Thanks, Vanilla from both Briana and me.
Congrats to your beautiful, intelligent young woman. Quite an accomplishment!
What we consume has a tremendous impact on us for sure. Hope you return to the better health you enjoyed for a time.
Thank you for those kind words. Once again she graduated with honors.
What we eat and drink has a huge impact on us. Seems to me that there is no “one size fits all” solution for diet. Like medicines, we have to discover what works for us.
