There are some pretty amazing special people around each of us. We see them -- maybe daily, perhaps weekly, sometimes monthly and often just once or twice a year. Well, recently some did something for me that was totally unexpected, totally appreciated and came at the perfect time. They did it just because they are the caring, loving friends that they are. As I sat at home looking at the card all I could think was "God is so good to me". And he is.
After a very trying day yesterday I had to think this again and again because I am so blessed in so many ways. I can only control what I do or not do; not what others are doing or not doing.
Work has interfered (only because I let it) with attending church on Wednesday nights some, but no more. I need that Southern Hills family as much as I need my sister, brother, nieces, nephews, etc.
I feel much better.
On another note, Liz, Laff and Emily just returned yesterday from New Orleans and tomorrow Liz, Laff and Susan leave for Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa. Three more states off Susan's list. Her last state will be Hawaii in December 2012 and I certainly plan on being with her.
Would still like to move back to Franklin, but can't beat the rent in Chapel Hill even if the drive is longer and gas more.
Until next time . . . . . . .Laughter dulls the sharpest pain and flattens out the greatest stress. To share it is to give a gift of health because as someone pointed out, "ulcers can't grow while you're laughing."
