It seems May 21st, 2011 was suppose to be the end of the world as we know it. To me, this was just a day of Rugby at the Rio Tinto. If there was anything going on, we didn't feel it or know anything. We were so engrossed with the National Rugby Games all day and with the great weather and loads of people who came to see this championship game, we had a great time.
This is only the Change of Times.....not the Sign of Times.
The sad part of this Change of Times are the tornadoes that brought a lot of destruction to parts of our states. One in particular, Joplin MO., how sad it is to see the devastation of Joplin. My prayers goes to the people of Joplin.
Prior to that, it was Japan. The constant destruction that hit Japan over and over again. My fear is the devastation it can create on the polynesian islands, esp. my island where my relatives and brothers live.
I will always watch the Change of Times.....until it definitely becomes the Signs of Times. For now, I go on with my life and be the best I know how to be.
I cherish my relationship with Gary, his daughters, and his family. I hold dear my faith, even though I have been away from the church for 2 years. In my heart my belief is still strong and although I have doubts in those who procrastinate their faith, I know what is the truth and I also know the truth only comes from my Heavenly Father.
I love my children and my grandchildren. I love my mom and dad. I love my siblings and all my family.
As long as I have the power to hold close all that I love. As long as I know My Redeemer Lives. As long as I have true faith in God, my father. As long as I stand as a witness and see the Changes that are happening in my era. I am not afraid of the Change of Times.....I do know the Sign of Times is close at hand.
Be of good cheer.....Put aside petty differences.....Hold on to all that you love and cherish.....Speak kindly, even to those who don't understand you....Push aside all that distresses you, seek only that which fulfills your heart with warmth and love.

Facing Your Challenges
With the summer arriving in 3 months, I was so looking forward to paddling again. I was also looking forward to playing softball.
Just got the bad news from my therapist.....I would have to wait at least 9 months before I can actively use my left arm because of my shoulder.
I am able to raise my shoulder, but not above my head. I still have a hard time trying to put my hair up, washing my hair, and scrubbing my back.
Gary says I will be better then before because I have one year to gain all my strength back and next year I will be stronger in strength and cardio.
I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to a great summer.....but it's OK, I'll work even harder to gain my strength back in my left shoulder and arm.
Oh well, we still can do a little hiking....I need to build my legs. Haven't been to the gym since I started therapy. I occasionally go to the gym....I have to change that and go more than occasionally.
I'm still hanging in there. My therapist is still manipulating my shoulder....a little annoying but it sure feels good after it's over with. I'll concentrate more on my home therapy that was assigned to me so I can help re-gain my range of motion.
Can't go forward unless you feel the pain.....every pain I feel brings me closer to where I need to be in my range of motion.

You're the Best
March 2011 has been a busy month for Gary and I. I had surgery on my left shoulder due to a small tear. I've been on LOA for a month and I won't be able to go back to work until I get the OK from my doctor. I am hopeful that I may be able to be released in April. Staying home sucks and I'm not one to stay home and do absolutely nothing after I clean the apartment. Gary has been such a great help to me. He hasn't been up to par himself. He came down with a cold and it settled in his chest. Now that the cold is gone he still has the cough.
Alora Lee was born in March. The proud grandpa just looked at his little granddaughter and he was slightly emotional seeing her. I'm glad both mother and daughter are doing well. It was a long day for Claresa but she pulled through like a real champ and now she has this beautiful baby girl that she was blessed with.
