All in a Day

    So, what do I do when I have to stay home and recuperate?
...keep track of my funny friends and the twists and turns of their move to Nashville. (This is an all-day adventure sometimes!) 
...talk to my kids or write to them online.
...work on counseling stuff I'm doing.
...do my exercises several times.
...finish a great book on prayer.
...pray.
...journal.
...work on eoy stuff for church and home.
...look up things I want to know about on the internet, especially clean humor stuff.
...sleep
...take meds and drink lots of water
    I didn't say anything about watching TV. Nothing great on TV and it's not as comfortable for me to sit out there. Lying in the bed is much more relaxing!
    Today I have the beginnings of a stuffy nose, which is not what I needed...I'm supposed to avoid infections of any kind. So I will be trying to care for myself and still do a few extra things.
    There are good days and bad when we're going through stuff. In the past when I had a bad day, I felt this sense of dread, that that's the way life was going to be from now on. My new joy freedom helps me to know that TODAY I may feel rough, but it's not going to last forever. Feelings come and go. A rich blessing. Grateful.
