Celebrating the Small Things and an A to Z Reflection

While participating in the April A to Z Blog Challenge, I got hit with off the wall things. I almost felt like some unseen force was bucking me from completing the challenge.

The first couple weeks went well. I had pre-written  posts for A through H. And then...my computer, Google Chrome, and whatever other cyber-mites there possibly are became a problem. But I prevailed, and I'm hoping that this reflection can give anyone hope that they can accomplish anything no matter what is thrown their way.

If there is a WILL, there is always a way. I finished it, even though I had to piggy-back four days together since I had to prepare for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. This leads to my Celebrate the Small Things post, put on by, VikLit over at Scibbles by an Inspiring Author .


1: The biopsy of my stomach came back as Acid Reflux disease. So I will be cutting out things like Starbucks, black tea, etc.

2: Unfortunately, my colon is twisted and spastic from stress, which last year I had a lot of ( hubby's cancer, daughter's drug problem, the State, and caring for my grandson). So I will have to learn how to de-stress and tweak my diet once again like add phsyllium, flax, chia seeds, and pro and prebiotics into my diet. I find this funny because I stay away from fast and processed foods. I've eaten healthy since I was diagnosed with Hashaimotos 16 years ago.

Anyway, I celebrate that God let's me wake up every morning. And that I'm not going to die. And that there is always a path toward healing the body and the soul.

3: My garden is beginning to bloom and the Swiss Chard will be ready soon. The squash are flowering. My tomatoes are growing suckers. But my poor peppers are lagging behind.  But it's all good. 


4: I've tweaked and expanded more of Killer Stilettos. My focus has returned!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Happy Morher's Day to all the Mommies! And Happy Shabbats if you practice!

And here's a special smile from a very special fur-peep.


Hugs and chocolate!
