I am encouraged and inspired from all the comments, calls and acts of kindness I have received. I have always tried to be an encouragement to others but of course have not done near enough. I have learned a card or call or a visit can make all the difference in the world in someone's day. My day has been special because of everyone that reach out to me in whatever way. I appreciate and cherish each comment.
Now what? First, I am going to try to just get healthy. Spiritually,physically and mentally. The mental part may take longer than I have but any hoo! I have hit the reset button spiritually and invite everyone to join me. Several years ago this town was blessed to have Kirk Brothers and his precious family as residents. Whether it be right (politically or socially) or not, if I think a evangelist, preacher or whatever "they" want to be called has the gift, I feel the best compliment to give "them" is you are a teacher. Kirk Brothers is a teacher. My Bible has highlights and notes where I marked and learned from God's inspired word through Kirk and others. One highlighted area is Psalm 51:10-13 and written above is reset button. Thank you God for a reset button and for teacher Kirk Brothers. Physically I will try to make better choices eating and exercise. I will listen to my body and seek help when I have pain or feel like something is just not right. Mentally I will be doing more of what I enjoy and less of what I don't. I will be living in the moment breathing deeply and taking everything in.
I have often shared photos of Poo and the projects he does for our home. However, I must relate he is my best friend, husband, soul mate, father to our children, caregiver and a remarkable tender man. He is my counselor,cheerleader, and the love of my life. God allowed us to be together and what an amazing blessing we have together. I love you Mark forever and always.
I once attended a memorial service for a dear friend of ours, who left this life way too soon. I'll never forget the words the minister spoke at the service. "We cannot choose how or when we die. But, we CAN choose how we live everyday." I've tried to remember that ever since then. While I don't always make the best choices with each day of my life, my prayer is always that I stop and appreciate the many, many blessings I have. I'm working daily on the very things you mention that you are working on. I pray we each maintain our focus and that God will continue to bless us with all the love and care that surrounds us daily. I love you, sweet friend!!
