Good things!

Still dealing with too much pain and discomfort - my primary care physician feels pretty confident that I have Fybromyalgia.  However, I still have to see the arthritis specialist for more testing.  The final outcome is that I just want to live a healthy, active life - really what we all want!  On 2 new types of medications this week and seeing some improvement - YIPPEE!!!!!

I can't help but think about those who may not have such optimism or the options of trying new medications.  Is there always reason to hope or does there come a time when "we know", we just know?  I have watched 3 friends die in the last several years of cancer.  I can't even begin to explain what an experience that was.  The change starts immediately once someone finds out that they are facing cancer.  It's like God covers the person completely and they seem so strong.  Then, there is this peace that takes over and they seem to know and see things that we don't.  Watching my friends wasn't a scary experience at all, it was amazing and my heart was forever affected.

                         

                                                   Ellie has noticed that she has gained a few pounds!

                                                           This just makes me happy!

Despite all of the pain and discomfort, there have been so many blessings too!  The wonderful friends and family who call to pray for me and encourage me to stay focused.  I really believe that a person's attitude can make a lot of difference in the outcome of certain situations.  I also know that God is all that I need, at all times, in every situation.

Thanks for listening...until next time :)
