SMALL MIRACLES

DSCN4923
 
 
My book, "Small Miracles" is beside my bed so I read it every night.  The book from Shandel and the book mark from Theresa and the little get well heart from Leah. 
 
Today started out as a very confusing day when I noticed we had a message on the phone.  It was so quiet we could not understand it and because it was someone we were concerned about we were very worried.  Still have not been able to reach her by cell phone, or home phone or e-mail.  Finally heard from her at 9 and will go visit her to-morrow.  She has a lot more troubles than me.
 
My small miracle did happen when the neurologist phone to say they can get me in on Thursday in the afternoon.  Quickly we had to phone and change the afternoon appointment with another specialist for the morning and that was because someone had just cancelled.
 
Wed. I have the C.T. Scan at Peace Arch Hospital.  I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now.
 
But today I have some new dirt and some new flowers to plant so that will be good fun.
 
Philosophers like mental challenges but still leave us with questions.  Atheists live by the values they have chosen.  I believe in a God of love whose love will be there when we need it. 
 
I see myself as an overcomer on a sacred journey that renews my strength daily. 
 
I pray I will not become a difficult burden to anyone.
 
Anyway woke up to a beautiful morning walked with all the young people going to school  laughing and talking and riding their skate boards.  Came home to hear the news about five stabbings in Calgary of young people and the horrible weather conditions down East.  Feel very fortunate to live here.  Dad is taking our friend Vera out for lunch and I will plant my Heather and enjoy the sunshine!

I Think it is suppose to start raining tomorrow so getting your gardening done today is a good idea. And then you can just relax and sit around waiting rooms reading your books for the ned couple of days. Sandra

You will never be a burden to anyone! we all love you way too much and you looked after the majority of your family when they were young and when they were sick or needed help. So it is very ok to accept that they want to help you when you need it. <3 family is amazing for that. I am so happy you enjoy the books. and that is great to hear you are getting all your appointments in and on time. My dad has a few appointments and procedures he has to do to ensure he is still on the healthy track of life. He is also becoming more accepting of help and knowledge of the doctors. and he is even drinking the juice shots i make him. I love my family and my extended family. Have a great day gardening. take some photos to share. my favorite part of your blog XO

OK, so we will do Sunday at my house. Would you prefer to do brunch right after church, or go home and rest for a bit and then come over? In which case we will do lupper.

Sunday is good and brunch works better for those driving home. So forget about lupper!
