September has been a bit of a weird month, really. I have been up and down, physically and mentally, so it has not been my most productive month ever.
But first and most importantly - I will start with the Happy Birthday Wish!
Our Dear sweet Thomas turns 12 yrs old today! Happy Birthday Thomas! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! We Love You!
While I am on the subject of Thomas, I will also tell you that Thomas has been very ill. His journey with childhood cancer has not taken the best turn. He is currently in isolation at BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver, awaiting a match for a Bone Marrow Transplant. This is not the outcome anyone ever imagined for Thomas and his family when this journey began over two years ago. Any prayers you could spare, would be greatly appreciated.
So many of my loved ones are enduring so much right now. Cancer has hit hard in Thomas, but also in my brother Wayne, my cousin Lorne, and my Dear friend Sharon. Having had cancer myself, I know how hard it is to stay positive, and I also know how very important it is to stay in that mindset - but even I am struggling with it while I watch those I love fight this ugly monster.
While my mind has been struggling through this, I have neglected my own health, and now I am paying the price for that negligence. So this week I started a plan to get myself healthier. I have started taking long morning walks for some much needed exercise, and I am back to eating a diet rich in the things that are good for me, and not the things I love. I need to loose weight, I need to get off some medications that are holding me hostage, and I need to feel better.
It's not going to be easy - I tend to fall off the exercise bike very easily... so to speak. Thankfully I live in a beautiful corner of this country where my eyes can feast away, even if my tummy can't. I have a partner for my morning walks, and tho I try and not stop too often, my partner sometimes really needs to take very short pit stops.
Here are just a few of my partner's pit stops for you to enjoy!
Blessings to you all...
Gorgeous photos!
