Life has its bumps in the road

Hubby and I got up on Saturday morning and did our bike ride. I have not ridden my bike in over a year since I had the rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. Had forgotten what a great workout it is. It is rather hard going up the hills, similar to running, but with the constant breeze in your face, it did not seem as hot as it was. We did 18 miles and stopped at Starbucks for a break with a plan to do 22 miles and my phone rang. My sister from Pensacola was calling to tell me my mom had fallen in her home and was in the E.R. Long story short, she was admitted to the hospital with a broken cheek bone and has a small brain hemorrhage along with other bruises. Thank God, no broken hip, but I sure am worried about this brain hemorrhage. So, I will be leaving to go to Pensacola in another hour or so. My sister said no need to come but I can't not go...this is my precious mother who is 79. So, no tennis today, no yoga, and no running with the group on Monday morning since I plan to come back on Monday night. If all goes well I will be at the Rez on Tues. morning. You just never know what each day will bring...thank God, most days go well, and I thank HIM for my many blessings. Hope y'all have a pleasant Sunday and a good training day on Monday.

I am so sorry about your mother. I can't imagine how hard that is. She will be in our prayers. You're right, though...you never know what life is going to give you, so it's important to be thankful each day for the things we have and the the blessings God gives us---many we take for granted. Be careful, have a safe trip, hope to see you Tuesday.

Grammy is in our prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you while you are away.

I am praying for your Mom. It doesn't matter how old we are or how old they are, we are never ready to see them hurt and suffering.
