Frustration

These past few weeks since I last posted have been very difficult. An overwhelming feeling of  fatigue sits like a cloud above my head.. Unfortunately I have spent a good portion of my days napping. I have my list of things to do, but a lot of that stuff stays undone. My plans for organizing and cleaning my house over the next few months are on hold.. I am now wrapped up in the immediate future which first of all needs me to focus on that immediate future and not dwell in the past over what I didn't do. That what seems to trip me up the most, I focus on the failures and missed opportunities instead of just getting up and do it. Enough of that! Today is a new day.
My mother in law came home this past Friday. She had  spent about  2 weeks at a Rehab Hospital recovering from her stroke. But God is good, she is doing well. She is getting her strength  back and she is so glad to be home. I called her this morning, and she had just gotten back from getting her hair done. It wasn't funny at the time, but she insisted on going to the hair dresser before she went to the hospital before her stroke. Now we can get a giggle out of it. It's all about priorities!  Her other problem was her diabetes was out of control which started this unfortunate chain of events. She is now on insulin. But all is quiet at the moment. I hope it will last a little while any way.
Wow, I feel better! I am not as frustrated at the moment. I am even a little motivated! Time to take out the TO DO LIST and start crossing off some items. Will hopefully be posting again soon.

An Unexpected Hospital Visit

When I woke up yesterday morning, I assumed it would be an ordinary day with an equally ordinary agenda. But God had different plans for me. I received a frantic call from my husband mid morning who asked me to meet him at the hospital. My mother-in-law had suffered an apparent stroke..I rushed to the hospital. Her only symptom was wild involuntary movements of her left arm and leg. Luckily she had no bleed in her head according to the CT scan. We are now waiting for the MRI results. I am embarrassed to admit that I was briefly annoyed at the interruption of "my" own  little world and the fact that I will have to rearrange things a little to help out. God is trying to tell me how fragile life is and how I often take my life for granted. What I needed was a wake up call to my complacency   Nothing stays the same for very long.  I really am thankful for my life. Thank you God for reminding me that it's not all about me!
