THIS IS A SCHEDULED POST
I’m not really at my computer right now. This will be my last post containing an image from my camera for a few weeks until I’m able to get up and around again, but I couldn’t resist partaking in one more MMC until then. 🙂
This image is of my husband walking as the sun was going down behind him in the west; and it’s the perfect time to thank him for being my rock and taking care of me through all my physical challenges the past few years. And oh yeah, a big thank you to him for listening to me when I can’t stop talking about photography, lol!
One last thing if you’ve made it this far…I hope you don’t mind if I ask you for some prayers right now. I would be so grateful to those of you who could hold me in your thoughts and send me positive vibes. Thank you!
❤

Good Luck Laura.. my thoughts are with you!!!
August 14, 2014 at 10:30 am
I feel the love from the WP gang! I’m doing well. 🙂
August 12, 2014 at 7:44 am
Successful surgery, comfort through a swift recovery, and the knowledge you are thought about and missed…our prayer for you. I love the photo!
August 14, 2014 at 10:30 am
Thank you so much. I’m doing well…better than the last knee. 🙂
August 14, 2014 at 10:44 am
So glad to hear this!! Thank you for the news!!
August 14, 2014 at 11:29 am
You’re welcome!! Thanks for caring. 🙂
August 12, 2014 at 7:50 am
Know that there are many who have you in our thoughts for today’s surgery, Laura. 🙂 All the best.
August 14, 2014 at 10:31 am
Thank you so much. I felt the vibes and am doing much better with this knee. Yay!
August 12, 2014 at 7:50 am
You will be jogging up Mount Diablo shortly or strolling thru the shops of Walnut Creek soon.
August 14, 2014 at 10:32 am
The shops for sure. I’m doing well Juan. Much better than the last knee. I get to go home tomorrow. Yay!
August 14, 2014 at 10:43 am
You are the bionic woman 2014z
August 14, 2014 at 11:28 am
LOL…yup! That’s me! 😛
August 12, 2014 at 8:05 am
You did not really have to ask for our prayers! They were being offered even without your plea! Silly girl. Isn’t it comforting to have a mate who will listen as we talk about photography? Mine is an angel.She has had three operations to repair a broken foot within the past 5 years and, when the doctors told her she would not walk without assistance again, she proved them wrong. We go hiking together as often as possible just to prove them wrong! Do not worry!
August 14, 2014 at 10:34 am
I am so glad your wife is doing well and pushed through. I’m doing well, much better than the last knee that’s for sure! I know I will be as good as new once I have rehabbed. Thank you for your comments and most of all your prayers. 🙏
August 12, 2014 at 8:10 am
Sending tons of happy and positive thoughts from across the world!
August 14, 2014 at 10:34 am
I fell them….thank you!
August 12, 2014 at 8:11 am
may you be held and supported
in ease and beauty, Laura 🙂
August 14, 2014 at 10:36 am
Awe thank you! I’m doing well…thanks so much for your kind words.
August 12, 2014 at 8:35 am
Prayers for a successful surgery and a rapid recovery, surrounded by love and healing.
August 14, 2014 at 10:36 am
Thank you so much! I’m doing well, 🙂
August 12, 2014 at 8:38 am
Sending some mad-good mojo your way…I’ll be thinking about you (good thoughts, of course) until your return. Good shot for your MMC post – very few of us do what we do alone – it does take a special person to help us through the tough times and to listen to our photographic diatribes 🙂
See you on your return.
August 14, 2014 at 10:38 am
I’m glad you liked the shot. :). Thank you for your support too and kind words. I have a wonderful husband who is always supportive. I’m doing well…very well as a matter of fact. So far better than the previous knee experience.
August 14, 2014 at 5:19 pm
Good – Glad to hear – was thinking about you and how you were doing, so the report sounds favorable! Mind your doctors!
August 14, 2014 at 8:54 pm
Yes sir!
August 12, 2014 at 8:40 am
Great way to thank him, the light shines on him. You rest and get well soon ❤

August 14, 2014 at 10:50 am
I’m so glad you like it. I really appreciate your prayers and it seemed to work because I’m doing well! Thank you so much ❤️ 🙂
August 12, 2014 at 2:52 pm
I love the mystery and story-telling aspect of this photo! Laura, I’m thinking of you and sending you best wishes for a routine surgery, easy recovery, and a wonderful outcome! Hang in there!
August 14, 2014 at 10:52 am

August 15, 2014 at 8:59 am
I’m so glad that you are doing well and are going home today. I’m sure you will do your PT and having that new knee bending in no time :-).

You are right Dave. I’m doing well…I hope within two weeks I’ll at least be taking photos in the house. Time for my creativity to kick in. There are always raw files I haven’t worked on. 🙂

August 16, 2014 at 5:49 am
Hi Laura, beautiful image but that is no surprise coming from you. I noticed this on Leanne’s MM post the other day and it really stood out. Sounds like you are on the road to recovering so that is very good.
August 16, 2014 at 9:55 am
Thank you mark! And thank goodness for my iphone so I can look and comment although not always “like” since I notice that function doesn’t work as well for some reason on these devices.

August 18, 2014 at 8:26 am
I have been thinking about you…wondering how your surgery went and hoping that you are supported and able to heal. It looks like, from all these lovely comments that YOU ARE 🙂 YAY. Sometimes these moments, where we are MADE to stop and slow down, offer some great opportunities to see the best of the moment. I hope this is true for you too. Looking forward to connecting as you heal, no need to rush things!
August 18, 2014 at 9:14 am
What nice words…thank you, Carrie. I believe wholeheartedly what you say to be true. All of this is a good thing!
August 18, 2014 at 10:04 am
You are most welcome 🙂
August 21, 2014 at 7:45 pm
