The Beauty in Life

---

The weather has been gorgeous. The air has contained an essence of autumn. I am a lover of the autumn season. When the temperatures dip down into the fifties; I become a giggling adolescent. Last week we were blessed with a few cool mornings and I was ecstatic. I always feel great in the fall.

The skies have been cerulean; no clouds to mar the expanse of blue. I spotted a red tailed hawk on top of the shed in the back yard. I was awestruck at the size of the bird, with it's wings spread catching the sun rays. I would of loved to have had my camera hanging from my neck; but that never happens. I felt blessed as my heart swelled from the vision of beauty.

The nurse called today with my appointment to the endocrine clinic. It is on Monday, October 11. That's approximately seven more weeks before I can sit down and talk with the specialist. So far I have only talked with a surgeon.

My bones have been feeling much, much better since surgery. I do not have hip, knee, or back pain. It left with the headache in the recovery room but I failed to notice it. What I have noticed is I do not struggle to sit up on the side of the bed and I do not hobble to the bathroom each morning as I was doing two weeks ago. I have freer movement and I am not in constant pain.
