Keep Moving Forward: Progress is Slow Sometimes

 


On Monday I started putting up my Christmas decorations and making fabric Christmas bags for next year.  This momentum didn't last as long as I would have liked ...Christmas is stored away but I didn't finish the bags yet.  They are waiting for me by the sewing machine.


We went to the Michigan State Spartans game last night (Thursday) ...this was a birthday present to my husband.  First of all I climbed up all these steps...then I decided I wouldn't throw up...then I went down those steps after the game was almost over (we determined they would win)....then I walked back 1/2 mile to the parking garage.   I could have never done this a couple of years ago.  Progress for me is slow but I keep moving forward as best as I can.

By the way:  I love these kind of presents the best..destination presents are fun!  


Today after I determine that I can move again ..I'm cleaning out the chicken coop ..what a better way to spend a 55 degree day LOL.  Hopefully I can report more to you next week. 

How's it going at your home?

Happy Birthday to your husband! What a great gift!
Yay you for doing all that walking!! Not sure that I would have been able to climb all those steps, and I don't like high places, but what a view you had of the game. Glad they won!

Oh my, I would have died of fright! When the Olympics were in Atlanta we went to a baseball game and our seats were high up and like sitting on a cliff. You could not see the seat on front of you. I survived it since we were with 9 others and I would not have wanted to spoil it.

I'm not sure I would've done well with that height. I might have thrown up and the walk down would have been scary.

Cleaning our chicken coop is happening tomorrow afternoon.

Wow, that is a lot of steps! You did great and what a fun gift. We like to do experiences for gifts too. We’ve had warm weather here too and doing some outside work too.

Lana, Oh my you were high up too...you know I didn't realize how high we would be and that it would be bleachers without a back but like you I survived and had fun in spite of myself. Have a great weekend.

I did the chicken coop...we had a wind storm like no other but around 4 it calmed down and I was able to clean it out. Hope you are able to today Wendi.

So nice to have a break from the winter weather Belinda and do some outside work isn't it. I hope we do more of those expierences too but maybe not so much of an adventure!
have a great weekend.
