40 days to 40, day 25

My heart is just overflowing right now as I take in the great memories made tonight. Not only did we get to celebrate my parent's 50 years of holy matrimony, but I was also reunited with family and good friends.  God is good! 

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.   --Henry James.

50 weeks to 50, week 3

  Nov 9/10. 50 weeks to 50, week 3 I miss my mom. We lost her 3 years ago this November. I seem to really miss her when I most need her.   I wish I ran to her more for advice when she was still here but I never wanted to worry her.  I could really use her now in this season of life with my 'almost' adult kids, especially with that one, the one that gives me most heart ache.  She would know because I was that one to her.  I’m sorry mom for giving you so much trouble.  YOU are my hero though. I feel you close when I seem to inherit your qualities without even realizing it, but really all it is, is just caring too darn much.

Then suddenly, as my foot came off the gas, a lightening bolt pain shot me right in the ARSE!  or  right buttock that is.  Thereafter I would always have this tender spot or pain in the very crook of my right hamstring. Nothing severe enough to keep me from running , just a nuisance like that little kink you got in the back that tightens up every once in awhile.  I’ve got one of those too. On my right upper back, scapula to ...

  Nov 3 50 weeks to 50, week 2 I still have goals and dreams.  The big one is getting that book out.  So the rough draft is done, working on fine tuning it. I invested in this writing class so I’m going to spend some time on that now. Andrew my oldest is away at his missions conference in Maui, comes back tonight. Nathan is surviving the cold AND his first year in college in Alaska. Micah is growing too fast.  Still working on getting that Women’s Physicians in Christ group started in my area, getting closer.  We are studying Romans in my bible study. Holiday season is upon us so feeling grateful. God is good.  Now off to my writing class…
