In fact with each passing year there seems to be more progress needed to just remain the same...stronger glasses to read the fine print...extended exercise time to keep one's shape...a healthier diet for various changes that come with age.
This past Friday my dear Mom had to undergo a rather routine procedure...angioplasty and stents. She went in one day and returned home the next. (BTW- she is doing well).
Modern medicine has certainly made great strides in amazing ways. What would have been a long recovery from open heart surgery in years past is now an overnight stay. Who knows in time what "new" miraculous techniques will be found to cure or simplify other health issues.
Often as we get older we struggle against change and progress. We think the past ways were better and perhaps in some areas that may be true. Today though I am grateful for those who continue to press on to improve life and keep us all being "works in progress".
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139: 13-14 (NIV).
May each of you have a lovely week.
Hugs Debbie
Glad to hear your mother is doing well Debbie. Yes, I also am thankful for progress in medicine but it is still difficult to reconcile myself with getting older. I wish we that we could reach a certain age, say 50, and continue getting older without our bodies ageing and then simply fall asleep forever. Ectreme wishful thinking, I know.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! Full of hope. I'm glad your mom is doing well-that must be a relief to you and your hubby. Your painting is stunning! Thank you for your encouraging words!!!Love to you...
ReplyDeleteLove the pic and so glad your Mom is well. I like the Alice In Wonderland quote that says, "I am a different person today than yesterday." Something like that.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that your mom is doing so well. It is amazing to see some of the wonderful progress that has been made in medicine and health. May we continue to graciously adapt to our new ages with God's assistance. Your painting is so lovely. I love that flower against the smaller areas. Enjoy your week, Debbie.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Debbie. I'm so glad your Mom is doing well. I will be praying she continues to heal. When my daughter went to the hospital to close the hole in her heart, she as well went home the next day. It's amazing what they do now. I truly believe it's better...this way theyre not subjected to hospital germs. Your watercolors are absolutely beautiful (gorgeous colors). Enjoy the rest of the evening!!!!
