100 Days of blogging....wow! I was amazed at 10 days, and I am now astonished at 100 days! It has gone by really fast as well! The one thing I have heard in the past few days as I tell people I am headed into my 5th surgery of the year is "but you have such a positive attitude/outlook, I am amazed at all you have gone through but you are still so happy." I don't know if I could be this way without my blog. It has TRULY helped me keep things in perspective. True, I am very devout to my religion as well which teaches that we are here on this earth to be tried and tested and made to walk through the refiners fire. But I don't really think I could do much of any of that or have the outlook that I have without my blog. Every day I wake up and if I want to blog at the end of my day, I had better darn well find a couple of happy moments! It amazes me that even on the roughest of days, there are still little nuggets of joy to be found. Sometimes not even nuggets, sometimes little flecks of joy....but add them all together (100 days worth if you will) and what a rich person I am! I am blessed, and I can't go around with a sour look on my face, crying all of the time, because that isn't how I FEEL. I feel so beyond blessed to be able to find the joy each day. The trials are coming. EVERYONE has them, and I am a very average person in this world of many problems. But I have this blog....so yea for technology lol.
Today went by very quickly! David came home sick from work and rested while Connor took a nap. I took Joel to Occupational Therapy, and then we headed over to the mall for a while to keep the house quiet. We had a lovely time and had fun looking at fun toys, shopping around, seeing Santa (no line what so ever and Joel STILL didn't want to say hi lol) writing a letter to Santa at Macy's (Dear Santa, I would like a Bop It for Christmas, love Joel) So sweet! Then we went to the little Crepe shop and had a crepe with strawberries, bananas, chocolate sauce, and Chantilly cream. It was a delightful time with him and we had fun talking and walking. Such a happy moment to have with just ONE kiddo :-)
On the drive back home, we ran into my friend Jennifer with her son out on the street. We had a lovely chat and it was so great seeing her! She is such a lovely person...she has this light that you just want to BE in and when you have to leave it, you feel sad....ever had a friend like that? If not, you should! They are good for the soul :-)
Well that pretty much sums up my day. Just a Tuesday putting up more Christmas decorations before being hospitalized, and trying to clean up this place a bit. If I can get all of the clothes put away, I can call the cleaners to come clean my home for me....you don't want to see me try to vacuum...it isn't a pretty picture...ok just picturing it makes me laugh, so maybe it's a funny picture. Want to get an even bigger laugh? Try sweeping dirt into a dust pan with one arm with a dust pan and broom....comedy hour at my house! The chin does come in handy. Some time soon I will have to blog about all the things I have learned to do one armed in the last 7 months...some are pretty good! Have a good night all and stay positive!
