january 13, 2009 - "i can do everything through Him who gives me strength" (phil 4:13)


top of the afternoon, friends!

i hope this blog entry finds you well in this new year!
i'm walking more and more without assistance, praise God! i went into my old therapy place to have them measure my range of motion last week. i'm very pleased to report that since september, i have 10 degrees more flexibility on my left knee! i'm actually up to 90 degrees now.

my new class has been both educational and fun for me. i hope my students feel the same. they have proven to be quite an animated and interactive group!

Christmas was very nice. i had the opportunity to spend some time with dad and the rest of the taylor clan at terry's house. as always, she ensured we were well-fed. the "yankee Christmas" gift exchange was exceptionally entertaining this year!

di and i finally "walked" through our graduation on january 4th. it has been a long time coming! i appreciate her friendship and glad she did the program with me. it was quite an educational journey. carl was MIA!!! has anyone even seen him??!!

dad continues to improve daily. he has finally stopped losing weight and has regained a lot of his appetite. thanks again for the prayers for healing--they have been so helpful!
please keep the following people in your thoughts and prayers, as they are all fighting some type of battle today:
- essie w.
- my former boss del e.
- becky c.
- cindy c.
- ty g.

i received the following very touching video clip about true friendship from my cousin boo. i thought you might enjoy it too.
until next time, be blessed!
