I Love That ....

I love that even when I do not post for days and days you guys always stop by. Wanna know a little secret? There have been a few harder days when I am sitting at some DR appt and I see a message pop up with a message from one of you on my blog...just a simple reminder I am not alone.I am very blessed  by all of YOU.  So Thank you ..

I would love to hear what everyone is up to?  Anything wonderful and exciting?  Are you all loving Fall is in the air?

I have been thinking about doing a blog make over.  I have had this one for two years and never had a change.  I do not know why I am so worried about actually doing it.  I seem to have the hardest time picking out a new blog look.  I think it also could be the money part.If I do a new blog and I do not like the look or theme I do not know how to fix it..

Do you all do your own blog makeovers?

I guess I need to go ..I have a DR appt this afternoon.  Going to be addressing some areas of concerns that I am just not sure how we will handle.  So pray that it goes smooth and when I leave I feel a sense of calm about what needs to be done..or not done.  Calm is a good thing, huh?

At Odd With Myself

You know the worse person to be at odds  with? yourself. Cause either way you are in a bad way.
I am having a little lesson in this right now. The problem is I am not so sure why.  Some days I wake up and think no matter what this is going to be a great day.  And by the end of the day I am in a way. They say your heart is the most important thing to happiness.  So I focus on my heart daily.
we have been so blessed this past month.  Cole was very sick .  He is home and doing well.  He keeps us laughing daily. I felt sick with worry when he was so sick.  I feel very thankful he is healing and doing so well. 
Philip is at a standstill with his health. The only way to describe this is ...it breaks my heart .  It hurts me to the core that my oldest son hurts daily . I find myself feeling that I need to accept he will get no better and pray he gets no worse. It makes me feel like I am giving up .  But maybe I am protecting my heart.  Maybe the hope I have felt followed by the hurt has just taught me to handle things this way. Maybe this is just a phase and tomorrow I will wake up expecting no less then a miracle for Philip.
I am now almost 20 months into treatment.  That has taken a toll. I am very thankful to be alive.I prayed to be here for my children.  I worried Cole would forget who I was if I did not win with this battle.  I have been blessed.  Yet I am frustrated with things.My first mapping of treatment has changed.  Each test seemed to add a problem and a new "plan". What started out as one problem transformed into a more aggressive form.  So we start again.  I sorta have a love hate relationship with my meds.  Blessed there are meds to help and yet Hate the meds that have changed me so much. And some days when I am thinking way too much I wonder if it the meds that have changed me vs the diagnosis vs the acceptance that I am walking around with some gosh awful illness.  That is not the right words but do you get the message?
And with all this I just said I am not sad..or depressed..just frustrated. I love love love when people have the I will beat this, I will win, I am strong attitude ...I feel this  also..just do not have the woo hoo behind it today.
I am going to work on being at peace today. Cause really that is the best medication of all.

Day 9 - a photo you took

  I am almost embarrassed to continue on with the 30 day blog journal but I am way to stubborn to give up.  I Know you may be shocked  to hear that I am stubborn.

Day 9 - a photo you took

What a beautiful beach picture.  I love the colors in this picture.  My husband Jimmy always says a pink, red sky reminds him of his sister Beth that passed away a few years ago.  I think this one screams her name.  


What is your favorite picture?
