Day 954 -- Chiropractor

I had a visit with my chiropractor today.  And, while, this in itself might not seem like a big deal, today it was a huge blessing.

You see, it turns out that I dislocated one of my ribs.  Yep, it hurts.  I found out when I finally straggled into see Dr. Tazzi because I was in so much pain.  But, he was able to adjust me on Tuesday and get the rib closer to its original position.  I immediately felt better upon leaving, but was immensely sore yesterday.  He encouraged me to come in again today...which I absolutely intended to do.  I wasn't going to say no to that!

Anyway, I feel almost normal tonight, thanks to him.  I am so thankful that he was able to diagnose the problem and help me on me feel better.

Thank God for my chiropractor!

Lord, thank you for Dr. Tazzi and for the way he was able to relieve so much of my pain.  In your name I pray, Amen.

Glad to hear that you acknowledged the importance of chiropractic care. Paying a visit, as soon as you felt the pain, was a wise decision. With a few more visits, your dislocated rib will be back on its right place. Don't miss a session and follow your chiropractor's orders, Alaina!

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's...

Day 80 -- Calvin and Hobbes

Image
When I was in junior high and high school, I used to read the anthologies of several comic strips, including Garfield, Fox Trot, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I remember reading them by the light of my bedside lamp, trying to stifle my giggles so that my parents wouldn't come bust me for staying up too late reading (the horror!). Calvin and Hobbes, especially, resonated with my sense of humor.  I found the strip simultaneously witty, funny, thought-provoking and perceptive.  I collected all of the anthologies, but somewhere between then and now, I either lost them or gave them away.  I told my husband about my tendency to read them from cover to cover, and how I was sad that I no longer had them.  Not too surprisingly, for Christmas, I received The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book from Santa. I have been slowly working my way through the book, and tonight I was reminded of Calvin's finicky eating habits and of his gift fo...

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.
