Today I'm thankful for...
My health, and feeling great
Being inside (it's very wet outside today)
That I have a computer to use for this blog
God filling my life with hope
As I sit in my office today, I'm thinking about what is Lulu doing, how is she feeling, and what I could do to help her get through these difficult days of chemotherapy treatment? I'm just thankful that I have my health (even as my head is pounding from a large sized headache). I remember when I was recovering from my back surgeries thinking why I had to be the one to go through the intense pain and recovery like this? There was that feeling of self pity during those last two years (I had back surgery for herniated discs in May 2007, and then again in April 2008), and now I'm embarrassed to even think that my needs were as great as Lulu's. I realize now that there will always be someone, somewhere that is going through a more difficult, longer recovery, worse pain, then myself. I think that Lulu is ahead of be (probably wiser then me?) because she rarely complains about what she is going through with her cancer. It's takes strength to get up every morning and accomplish the things she does, and wisdom to do it all without complaint.
