Dad and I drive along the flats to White Rock to get the results of my x-ray. I am trying not to worry but my mind goes back to my lung operation and I just do not want to have to go through that nightmare again. When confronted with a situation where the outcome is unknown I often imagine the worst. This allows a great overwhelming fear to control me. My faith seems very small and unreal at times like this, but prayer helps.
'I've had a very difficult life,
Fortunately, most of it didn't happen,"
Mark Twain.
Our imagination is a very powerful tool that too often I use to envision the worst. Causing pain and fear to take control.
I was thankful to read the good results although another x-ray would be required in a month's time.
Today I am committing myself to doing whatever it takes to become more peaceful, more understanding, more joyful and happy. I will use my imagination creatively! I will give my body time to heal.
"If I am at war with myself,
I can bring little peace
to my fellow man."

I do hope to meet this dear person anonymous in heaven one day.
Jesus said: "Only my father is Good."
I pray that God with his infinite wisdom with infinite grace can help me to become better. Today is a new day to rejoice and be happy!

Today sounds like it should be nice and sunny, great for sitting in the front room and watching the world go by. Sandra
Yes, but I would like at least to walk to the mailbox!
love mom
Glad the results from the x-ray were good.
The sun over the weekend will brighten every one's mood, I hope!
I've just decided that I should have mailed Lucas' Christmas present, but it is too late now. I will have to lug it with me.
Love,
Rick

Jasmine has an ear infection , the dr gave her antibiotics
and she slept right through last night. Didn't you say you
had to get more X-rays next year ? Any way rest up and
you will be out walking again in no time.

I have a little business card that gives me comfort, especially needed in the last few days...it says:
CLOSE YOUR EYES
When your day is pressure packed and your hours are all too few, Just close your eyes and mediate and let God talk to you.
I hope you will find comfort too Beth. Nancy
That was a funny typo....mediate rather than meditate.....can you imagine mediating with God?
