Its a Day at the Spa ~

With each passing day, and eight weeks behind me

I'm adding more and more to my daily life.

While I still must be very careful, and trust me, I am,

I am finding it much easier in making strides as I achieve little tasks.

This past week I was able to accomplish a lot, and I felt great doing so!

In fact, I was caught out in the rain one afternoon

while walking my sweet Donatella, and found myself running home

without even thinking about what I was doing, and you know,

my knee handled the run with no problems.

I will tell my therapist what I did when I see her this week, and though,

I may very well get scolded, she really is a gentle sole when she scolds me.
~ I'm not to run for three months ~

I'm feeling stronger with each new day

and I can't help but praise the Lord for His watch care over me 
during the passing hours of my day.
God loves to hear our praises given unto Him.

A couple of weeks ago my therapist recommended that I treat myself to a spa day.

Having never gone to a full fledged spa and with a tiny bit of reservation 

I asked her just what kind of spa was she suggesting?

"You pick the type of spa day that suits you, she said.

Would you like to sit by the pool and view the mountains, enjoy a Jacuzzi,

sit in a sauna, have a facial..."

I believe it was God who chose the Spa day for me ~
The words " Its a Day at the Spa" was all it took to get my attention.

As I was reading our local newspaper my eye caught an ad for 

a monthly special at one of the oldest and most respected spas in North America.

The Yampah Spa vapor caves are natural underground steam baths.
Hot mineral waters flow through the cave floors at 125 degrees F.
to create natural geothermal steam baths.
The brochure said that the Ute Indians who originally inhabited this region
visited these caves for centuries, and regarded them as a sacred place
of healing and rejuvenation.

This hot springs and vapor caves is practically in my own back yard, and yet,

I have never had the nerve to enjoy all the healing benefits that are offered.

The monthly special for just 135.00 included ~

A raspberry body wrap ~ A private natural thermal bath ~ access to the vapor caves ~

and a neck, back and shoulder massage,

which I desperately needed!

Two and a half hours after my early appointment I walked out of that spa 
feeling relaxed, energized and alive all mixed together.
Oooh I felt good!!

For the rest of the day all I could think of was ~

'what an amazing experience!'

That was the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time,

and it was certainly money well spent.

I'm hoping to continue this treatment at least once a month,
why not when they offer such a wonderful monthly package.

My knee felt amazing that afternoon and the days that followed.
They say that the caves purify the body as they soothe away aches and pains.
So...if I'm going to choose what type of spa day is best,
seems like Yampah Spa will meet my needs.
God gets the glory here.
 I believe God knew exactly what He was doing when He directed me to that ad,
which by the way, I never pay attention to ad's.

My therapist is amazing!!

She was a God send in my life years ago when I was looking for a new therapist,

 she takes the time to know you and your needs in a personal way.

I'm grateful for my therapist, and she certainly makes it easy

for me to listen, obey and do all that she suggests and instructs.

Thank you Heavenly Father!

"To God be the glory, for great things He has done"

Sweet friends, what has God been doing in your life?
What are some of the things you are praising Him for?

God loves us dearly, and He is always working to change us

so that we may become more like Him.

God's Glory!
