I have one more week in my boot! I go to the Dr. on the 23rd to see what he says about my poor big toe. I'm thinking it may be longer in the boot....but who knows! This boot has taught me a lot. I guess that's the Lords way of saying SLOW down! I'm usually always in a hurry to get things done....housework, grocery shopping, errands, etc. I don't like to depend on others when I can do things myself. Having the boot on, I have learned to depend a lot more on Luke and my Mom. Luke has been great in taking me to Walmart and pushing me in a wheel chair. Mom also runs errands with me...and has even pushed me around too!
I also realize how hard it is to see everything at Walmart! I mean...things are so high when you are sitting. I do realize how people can be so rude too! I have had several ladies look at me like...You can walk in that! I guess they don't realize this thing weighs 10lbs! My favorite is the people that are in such a hurry in the store...they actually think you are in their way! They usually make the one in the wheel chair move! I hope and pray that I was never one of those women...but I'm sure at times I could have been easily annoyed at having to move over out of the wheelchair's way. Thank you Lord for the friendly reminder and teaching to put others above myself!
I have also realized I now have my own weather meter. Yep, if it's going to rain...I can tell you. My toe aches like it's no bodies business! Then when the rain gets here, it stops! Go figure! Well one more week in Mr. Boot...I hope!

A new situation certainly gives you a new perspective on life, doesn't it? You will never look at someone riding around WalMart in a wheelchair the same way again. God really uses interesting situations to get our attention, doesn't He? I am trying the Laura's Casserole tonight for dinner, can't wait!
