Saying no is hard
I much prefer the word YES
Do you understand?
Health is compromised
Saying YES to everything
So, learn to say NO
“Not yet” is better
It doesn’t sound so harsh
It keeps doors open
I like open doors
Closed doors are a frustration
You know what I mean?
But there are those times
When limitations are placed
On us – and we rest
Today is that day
I say YES to getting help
No to stubbornness
I let God define
What I am doing today
Happiness is rest!
I seek happiness
By letting others help me
Thank God for helpers!
Satisfying rest
Is good for the heart and soul
God bless you, my friends!
We had a wonderful sunrise this morning in our Madison Valley.
The view from my bed is beautiful… and I brought a few of the roses into my bedroom so I could enjoy them while I rest and read my devotionals and say my prayers. My prayer list keeps growing! I started it in January… and just keep adding to it. This is just page one of two!
God is good. He hears our prayers… and He responds. I feel His loving comfort today. Thank you for being here with me as I recuperate from yesterday’s hernia surgery.

Haven’t heard from you in a long while, Lesley. Are you still doing WordPress?
Take good care of yourself, love your doggy
Thank you for your comment on this blog. Don’t know why I am just now seeing it 2 1/2 years later!!
So very sound. Saying ‘No’ is so difficult. Keep mending, Jan.
Ah, bless you, Derrick. ❤️👍🏽 I appreciate your good wishes. Have a Fabulous Friday. I will, too. It’s a gorgeous blue sky day! 🤗☀️
Jan, before you know it, you will be back up and enjoying your usual “stuff.” In the meantime, enjoy the respite. As a nation, we need to say YES to being disciplined in our lives with Covid. Saying NO brings on a whole set of setbacks, which could be avoided by just saying YES!
Very true! I do say YES to the importance of following Health guidelines.
