Recovery and Rest

Dear blog readers, I am taking my own advice again and have silenced my phone.  Due to an unexpected illness and  emergency surgery over the past five days, I will be taking a few days off until I feel better.  I hope you will all keep me in your prayers and thoughts and continue to follow me.  Laney is helping me recuperate as she has been faithfully by my side.  I have been in a lot of pain since last Thursday, and I hope with each passing day that it lessens.

I have learned to find the positive in every situation.  I am grateful to the doctor yesterday that performed my surgery, as she solved a three year mystery concerning some pain I have been experiencing.  Pain is a warning signal that something is wrong.  Even though I wish I had not experienced severe pain, it is a blessing that forced me to seek medical attention.  My gratitude today is for the doctor and her staff.

Thank you to my loving husband who has been the best caregiver over the last several days. You make me smile even when I am in pain.  I love you always!!

 I am looking forward to enjoying spring as it is finally officially here. As I sit here typing, I am looking out the window at some Bradford pear trees that are loaded with beautiful white blooms.  Yes, Life is beautiful !!

I am praying for the families that lost loved ones and those who were injured at the Boston Marathon yesterday.
