I'm Still Standing...On One Leg!

nearly two,
this week ~
i'm grateful ...
for legs

i would most of all
love elegant legs

or even cute ones!

elegant or cute they're not.

but i am grateful for them...

two weeks ago
my right knee wouldn't let me stand up.

it has slowly been improving
and i can hobble now
and i am grateful for that!

how wonderful legs are;
walking,
running,
jumping,
moving
legs.

use your legs and see the world
outside your lounge room...
and whisper a prayer of thanksgiving ~
no matter what they look like.

  1. Great one Carol! Some people just don't realize what a privilege it is to be mobile. I have a post about a canine too. Must be in the same wavelength today. Btw, we receive the very pretty pillow yesterday! Anya hugged it in her sleep. Will post a photo soon. Happy weekend!

  2. I'm glad you're back on your feet, Carol. I'm also glad that you don't actually walk around on dog legs. That would be a sight.

    It's amazing the wisdom that getting older brings to us. Once we worried about our thighs being too fat, now we're just grateful that they work!! x

  3. My husband would agree with you on this one. He is on crutches and hobbling at the moment and getting so frustrated. Charmaine

  4. A couple of months ago I suffered a stress fracture and was told not to run - oh how I appreciated my legs then!! Hope you're back on 2 feet again soon :-)

  6. Hi Carol, hope your knee is coming along ok. Thanks for reminding us how lucky we are to be so mobile. A close friend of mine is a paraplegic and I marvel at how well he does, but life is much more difficult for him.
