Blessings come in all sizes. My heart swelled for you when you talked about your daughter.<br /><br />I had a bout with plantar fasciitis this year (surprised?!) Just want to encourage you, that I'm now back to my regular walking routine and feel great.

I love seeing my kids 'holding their own' in an adult world.<br /><br />Wow, you are a busy woman, in charge of both the Christmas Party and Operation Christmas Child.<br /><br />I hope your foot heals quickly--hurray for a thoughtful and knowledgeable trainer!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-85005658029874538302014-10-10T13:21:36.333-06:002014-10-10T13:21:36.333-06:00The dinner with your pastor sounds like such fun. ...The dinner with your pastor sounds like such fun. I know what you mean about those sudden realizations that our kids are true adults.<br /><br />Self-adhesive envelopes are wonderful. I had to smile at how you described trying to use a wet paper towel on envelopes - I have done that before, LOL! Glad that part of that job is done and that things worked out so well in your schedule to have time to finish it. <br /><br />I'm so sorry about your foot! Hope it heals well and quickly. That is wonderful that your trainer was able to find out ways for you to work out around it. That's making me think twice about the gym. I prefer to exercise at home, but was thinking today that some time at a gym would give me the opportunity to try some different machinery to see if I could use it - because of balance and other issues I can't always just jump in there. I hate to spend the money and take the extra time to drive there, but it might be worth it in the long run.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-84434428743637561182014-10-10T13:13:44.174-06:002014-10-10T13:13:44.174-06:00Aww Susanne - I hope your heel injury recovers qui...Aww Susanne - I hope your heel injury recovers quickly. No fun. And especially when you're doing so well with your exercise.<br /><br />Your daughter's comment sounds so much like one our daughter would make :) It's a joy to watch them grow, isn't it!<br /><br />Good for you with your work in OCC. We are gearing up for it too.<br /><br />A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!<br />xoKathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-33344746266893847682014-10-10T13:03:31.806-06:002014-10-10T13:03:31.806-06:00It sounds like your dinner party was quite the suc...It sounds like your dinner party was quite the success! Nothing like visiting with people you love. I'm glad your daughter enjoyed it, too. It's great when the whole family is friends with the pastor's family.<br /><br />Yes, I am so thankful for self-sealing envelopes.

A friend of mine (former student) is trying to get 500 boxes filled at her church, so several of us are trying to do all we can to help her reach her goal, as well as a large group of her own church ladies. What a worthy project!!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121222198887672974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-26667815354760098392014-10-10T06:37:42.359-06:002014-10-10T06:37:42.359-06:00I used to coordinate auctions for non profits and ...I used to coordinate auctions for non profits and I'll vouch for what a huge task that is. Self sticking envelopes are a huge blessing! ;) <br /><br />What a wonderful evening with your pastor's family and seeing your daughter hold her own.

The chiro I go to uses all the more progressive techniques( he avoids surgery and thinks doctors are too quick to jump with it and half the time it doesn't work). If you can, I highly recommend the ultrasound and point massage therapy. My chiro has done wonders for me and I am back to hiking.....for now I use Rock tape to wrap my arch while hiking. I will pray for you! That's great about your dinner out and your insights of your daughter. Time goes by too fast!!! Happy weekend!
