A Progress Report and Lots of Things for You to Watch



"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His loving devotion endures forever."   --- Psalm 136:1

Still here!

Yet only recently has ol' Debra returned to her normal self. My, but it's odd living inside a body and mind which you don't recognize-- fuzzy-headed, a feeling of not wanting to do what you once did and legs which feel 'iffy'.

But again, I'm slowly coming back. 

Though ok, a bit tweaked after having lived with this stranger for 6 months. I'm more filled with gratitude for all the decades God gave me and full of compassion for others who, also, are ill. I understand their hardships much better now, so color me thankful.

Also? I'm back to reading books, decluttering, feeding the outside birds and gardening. Whew, took forever to return there and required much patience and forgiveness of myself while waiting. 

Anyway! I've watched tons of lovely shows since December. These have felt like gifts from God (I've even left out many!). We subbed to Hallmark Plus during Dec. and Jan.--all those movies and series felt like much needed daily medicine.

So here you go, just a sampling, below, of movies and videos which helped encourage me these past difficult months. It's as though God made certain I discovered them.

Texas Country Reporter. Oh my, I've probably watched 50 of these, that is, the ones before Bob and Kelli retired. Did you enjoy Charles Kuralt's program? Guaranteed (well...) you'll love these; even Bob's voice is similar. But warning: These videos are highly addictive and I'm not surprised they've run for over 50 years.






The Lady, The Wolf and the Mountains  (Loved this one so much, I bought her book on Kindle and devoured it in 2 days.)

Other Youtube Videos:

A Single Woman's Tiny Home  (I liked her decor)






The Well Studio  (these are incredibly comforting)

And as always, a huge thanks to those of you who've shown me you care all these months!
