End of the line

So today, 8 weeks ago, on my birthday, I simply twisted my ankle the wrong way and buckled on the ice and down I went.... What have I learned in a short 8 weeks?  Let me attempt to but them into simple bullets since my family says I talk too much..or rather write too much..

  • Lying in the couch isn't necessarily fun but I knew I got a new couch for some odd reason.  I am so glad I got one that's beyond comfortable,
  • Don't let anyone tell you that the body parts don't talk to each other. When I broke my leg all other parts of my body began hurting...and it couldn't be that I am getting old..
  • A cast, a boot, crutches and wheelchairs do get sympathy...and sympathy isn't always bad.
  • Ones perspective does take on highlights when one has lots of time to think.
  • Not simply is the perspective takes on new highlights, but with time on my hands I went through redecorating the whole house, new towels, walls tore down, lattice, in floor heat and chandeliers...all in my mind if course, but  when one has time on ones hands, dreaming does help pass the time.
  • Reconnecting with friends is precious...and when they gave me rides we had some great moments
  • The ones who came to my rescue were not the ones I thought that would be there, I will strive to be that person who blesses with what others need not what I want to give.
  • Rolling walkers are awesome but there are chinks out of the wall...and it's not from the dogs or kids!
  • Puzzles are so much fun....
  • Care packages warm the heart like a roaring fire in the middle of winter...
  • Being helpless makes one appreciate the little things in life..like walking,  driving, sitting cross legged, Kneeling, hopping, living...... 
So this is the end of my timeoutinaboot.... I am thankful that God allowed this and I am thankful that through 8 weeks of a challenge also gave me some insights into Gods heart that I might have missed.
