Blessed restoration

Doesn't my title sound like some sort of early 18th century hymn?
Actually it refers to the fact that FINALLY in week 13 some of my energy/ interest in anything other than lounging about is returning to me!
I think I've been helped considerably by the weather which is GORGEOUS!! It has just enough foretaste of autumn to be truly, tantalizingly invigorating in some basic ways.
Today I actually thought about making dinner, but not in the oh-my-Lord-why-do-we-have-to-eat-daily? sort of way I've been thinking about it the last 3 months, but instead in the I-think-I'll-make-dinner sort of way! And sitting out on our deck this evening, I realized that we need to do some work out there so that we can enjoy this late summer/ early fall outside in fresh air as opposed to on the couch as per the last 12 weeks. So Dennis and I have made plans to actually do a little physical labor as opposed to just him doing the physical labor as I recline on the aforementioned couch.
Thank GOD for this restoration, no matter how brief!! I was beginning to think slugdom was going to be a semi-permanent way of life. Glad to see that's not the case!

And what a small, small picture of how we will feel as we experience as we exit our earthly bodies and dress in our heavenly ones, huh? Give praise unto the Lord!!! :)

Hey April, and from re-reading my comment, I can see that my body will greatly look forward to a NEW BRAIN - one that can write and talk to the kids at the same time. 8?
