It usually works like this, work hard one day, rest the next and maybe the next too then get back up and work some more. I was struggling a little with lack of strength then Covid hit and I have not felt good strength day one. I go to bed tired, get up tired, deal with weak and tired all day. The doctor told me most older ones who have had Covid say the same thing. I use to joke about the doctors using the phrase, "well Betty, you are over 70 now". Not joking now. I applaud your mother, 90's. Since I do not know what 90's feel like she gives me courage to not give up. I am praying for a, "second wind", one that lingers for a while. You are an encouragement Linda. Thanks for reminded me again God is not through with us yet. I know, believe it, walk in it daily but as for feeling it, nope, walking by faith. Blessings.

I am eternally grateful for meds because I would not be here with out them. Women use to die in their middle and late 30's. We now live longer then most men and it's because of good meds. My husband and I are totally wore out after watching our son children, 3 that are 12 and under. But we still want to do it and we have learned ways to make it easier on us, order pizza so I don't have to cook and clean up. Wear the out on the outside and then give them a good doggy movie and they will fall asleep without a problem after they have had a nightly ice cream. Thats a grand parent right, movies and ice cream, even if there is school the next day, not at grand parents house. Our rule is spoil, spoil, spoil unless they talk back, complain or throw a fit, ice cream goes back into freezer. See we older ones know how to do this. Thanks Lisa for commenting.

I'm 58 (I had to do the math, ha), and I've used a pillbox for a few years to keep up with my calcium, iron, and fiber tablets. ;) It may have a stigma attached, but it sure does make life easier to know what I've taken and what I haven't. I also relate to when you said you need that day in between. When we keep our grandkids for the weekend, we are worn out on Monday morning. It takes us a few days to bounce back.

Not only did my health begin to decline but the winters along with Covid render not much activity from me. I am slowly getting back into exercise. Now that places are opening up I am hoping the indoor pools will do so also. Love water exercise. Ace and I both feel the same way about staying active and serving till our last breathe.

And that is where you are. I'm sorry for all the health issues you have had thus the need for the ingenious pill box. A friend went Home this morning. He was in ill health most of his adult life. No more pill boxes for him! His Homegoing was beautiful. He was longing to be with Jesus. Our pillboxes are only for a season. That is something we need to remember. Soon, and very soon, we will be with Him. In perfect health. I love you, Betty.Diane Ronzinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345793102452621165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803438520720402383.post-75153292898573839792021-05-17T04:23:20.789-07:002021-05-17T04:23:20.789-07:00Danny has a pill box, but I haven't evolved th...Danny has a pill box, but I haven't evolved that far yet, Betty.

Jo knows I want to stay active and serving until I can go no more or until I breathe my last breath. I hope it is the latter.
