I have always said one is only as happy as they want to be. No matter what sort of things you are facing, with God's help and the help of your family - you can face it. You might not be "ha ha happy", but you can find the place of contentment. I decided many years ago to let God take on my burdens and then I can always find "my" place of happiness. Nuff said!!!

Yesterday, I went for my spinal injection and it hurt a bit. I don't remember it hurting before, but soon quit. I am a tough ole gal. Walked out and drove myself home. I will admit, I came home and found a good chaise chair to lean back in and recoup. The shot won't start working for about 3 days, so today, I still have a bearable back ache.

My "babies" got me up about six a.m. this morning, so I enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhoot for a bit. My neighbors get going early also, as they are still working and our area of the burbs and city have the busiest traffic around. I am so thankful that I am retired. As if anyone would hire a 85 year old. Maybe I could get a job as greeter at Wal-Mart. But I really don't shop there. Ha!!

Heard from my oldest grandson that we are having a "little boy". I had hoped for one, but the litt gdil wanted a girl. Guess my prayers were stronger than her's. Ha!! I would like all the grandsons to have at least one son, so my husband's line will go on. If not, his line stops with this generation. Well, at least we have one little limb" on the Family Tree.

Pray Hazel is doing better. God love her!! I feel like I have known her in some place in life. That's what a good blogging does for you.

Take care and be happy. Nena
