Haiti update from my brother
My brother, George is a Pastor in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and recently came back from helping out in Haiti. I thought you all might like to see the video and so I am adding it here. It is great to know that many, many Americans are there helping the Haitian people to recover from this horrible catastrophe. Anyway, I thought you all would enjoy seeing the video!
Executive decisions
I never knew I could get exhausted just looking at wedding gowns over the internet while on the phone with my daughter! Phew! I spent about 1 1/2 hours looking through dozens of ‘mother’s’ dresses and my daughter and I narrowed down the list to six that I need to go and try on in the next few months. I will be wearing the color ‘truffle’ for my daughter’s wedding in August! I also got to see the dresses the …
I am not alone…
Tonight the wind is whipping about outside, howling… alerting me to the wintry storm that is headed my way. Night has come and the wind keeps bumping up against my windows, reminding me of its presence. I cannot see my wonderful view tonight for mother nature has obscured it from my sight. Freezing rain clings to the window panels allowing me just a glimpse of what lays beyond the glass. The long lines of dripped, frozen rain, and the thousands …
On my terms…
I can’t remember the last time I cleaned my apartment, did laundry from start to finish, and accomplished all the other mundane things one does to keep things in their lives organized, in one day. I recall a time when I would get up at 5 a.m. to start my day. By 8 a.m. when the rest of the world was just getting up and engaging in their day, I had put in my run for the day, cleaned house …
The dreaded 10 day…
I wish you could have seen my view tonight. The sky was this incredible teal color as night was falling. Stunning! Unfortunately, today is the dreaded 10 day. Today is a horrible day. I have been sitting here for about 30 minutes trying to figure out if I could sit up long enough to write today’s post. I find if I hold my head to the side – it’s just too heavy today to hold straight up - and sit …
I dream of the day when people will say, “Oh!”
Forty blogs. Forty unique individuals. Forty stories. Forty lives severely impacted by CFIDS or FMS. Tonight, I read the stories of 40 CFIDS/FMS suffers from Australia to Ireland to Canada to America and everywhere in between. The struggles and the stories varied depending on the degree of severity and disability. But there was one thing theme that seemed to reverberate throughout the blogosphere.
A few of MY favorite things…
Today is my second week of this new adventure. Thank you so very much for coming along with me on this journey. 884 of you decided to do just that in these past two weeks. You have proved me wrong and my college professors right! I can’t even begin to tell you how much that blesses me! I have determined that I am in an extended crash – lingo for a severe relapse - but despite that my heart and …
Lessons learned
Thankfully when I awoke today, I knew it would be a better day. Despite that, I chose to take it really easy and to spend the day watching movies. For some reason I have had a yearning, as of late, to watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy again. So that is what I decided to do. Many people wonder how I have continued on this journey that I unwittingly found myself on. If I had been asked if I …
The goal today isn’t to achieve…
I hoped today would be a good day. I have been diligently trying to rest as much as possible and have even resorted to taking 2 hour naps when needed. Today, my wish would not be granted. When I awoke to the whining of Dekker begging me to get up, I felt as if my body had been filled with sand. Every thing about me felt heavy. Pushing myself upright and out of bed was impossible. Thankfully Dekker was fine …
FOUR life-lessons my PUGS taught ME
The view out my window is lovely today. The water looks blue (and that doesn’t happen all too often as the Arkansas river is muddy water!) and the sky has this woven pattern of pale blue and white ribbons. The snow is almost gone and the wildlife on the bird sanctuary in the middle of the river are fluttering about, busy with the days business. There’s even a lone individual trying to catch tonight’s dinner! On my window sill sits …
