Stronger by the day

I really feel like I can feel myself getting stronger by the day. Today two of my friends from nursing school, Nancy and Vickie came over for lunch and Nancy picked up my favorite salads form Berardi's and we sat on the deck and enjoyed our time together. It felt so good to sit in the sunshine and feel "normal" again. When I have visitors it just perks me up so much. I did take a nap this afternoon, I don't know why but I felt like I needed one. It refreshed me. This evening had dinner with Mom and Marcie. I did some laundry and cleaned up the kitchen, something I could not have done 1 week ago. Tomorrow, Barb K and I are going to take my dress for Zac's reception back. It is too big. I will try to find something else. Gale, the soup is delicious......... Thank you!

    Hi Cindy
    So glad you are feeling so much better. Relaxing and enjoying some time with your friends during the day will seem to make the time go faster for Kyle's return home. But be sure to rest now and then.
    See you later.

    luv ya---MOM ROTH AND RALPH

    Morning Cindy,
    It's so great to know you're feeling stronger and doing more and more each day-YES I CAN! Don't give the naps a second thought. I take one everyday in the summer and I need one when I'm working, but I don't think the kids or my boss would buy into that. Im so happy to hear about all your visitors, I'm sure the time passes much faster. Only a few more days and Kyle will be home with you again! How fun to go shopping for your new dress. Tell us what color it is and what it looks like. Kohl's and Marshall's have the cutest shoes on sale, if you need any. Keep up the good work, kiddo! I'm SO proud of you!!!!

    Cindy, I am so glad to hear you are feeling so well. It starts my day out differently when I hear that you are doing so good. I think I will go clean up my kitchen today with NO complaints. Love, Sharon

    So glad to hear you're feeling more and more yourself! I, too, enjoy a good mid-day nap whenever I can get one. There's nothing wrong with that! :)

    Hi Cindy,
    Sounds like you are doing great. Can't wait to see you at the reception. I'm sure we'll have a lot of laughs and stories from everyone that went on the trip. Tell Marcie hi, I had a good time with her the other week.
    See you soon,
    Keri

    Hi Cindy,
    You have a family to be very proud of and we are very grateful to be able to bond with them in a special way. Before you know it we will be home and celebrating at the reception. So glad you are feeling so much better.
    You may have to put a pool in your new back yard...Papa Kyle is loving the water. Tomorrow all the guys are fishing, the day of the thong.
    See you soon,
    Daleen
