Blah

Well, dd has a sprained ankle and will be getting an x-ray tomorrow to make sure it isn't a chip fracture. DFH is "suggesting" she not play on the team anymore. He is afraid that she will get an arm or nose broken next time. AOhell is not working properly this morning, it keeps freezing. It is FREEZING outside today. Yesterday it was 77, right now it is 40. I am behind on my sewing and need to do my taxes. My new web cam is a piece of crap and won't work. Dfh is unsatisfied with his job and is taking it out at home by being unsociable and generally mean. My diet isn't working. I grocery shopped yesterday and spent more than I wanted to. I have no direction in life and feel the need to do something, but don't know what. I went to bed angry last night. My Mom is stressed and sad and my Dad is dying and there is nothing I can do about it. I didn't write anything that is funny or happy. Yet, there is this little window in my soul where sunshine is pouring through. The nagging voice in my head is not saying bad things, but good things. I feel a tiny thread of hope and love and goodness. It's calling for me to reach out and hang on....I can only assume it's the hand of God. He is calling to me, saying, "Give it to me, let me handle it....it's what I do."  And I so want to do it, to see life as good and wonderful and a gift. I think I do, I just get overwhelmed at times. This is one of them. I do believe I will grab that hand....

God will take care of you. He always does. Maybe you can treat yourself to something special just for you today. A little escape. Maybe bubble bath, radio candles? Close the door shut the world out and don't let one problem come to your mind. Just relax there and enjoy yourself. And smile that beautiful smile..even for a few minutes.

Honey, I'm going to pray for you right this minute! I'm sorry about your daughters ankle and your Dad. So much to go through. The webcam can be returned. You keep that tiny thread of hope until it gets to be a big thread of hope. You are such a wonderful person. And that happiness probably isn't too far off. The stress makes it seem as such.

OK ~ no whining about 40 degrees. To a lot of us out here - that's like shorts weather. :-) This is sounding like one of those No Good Very Bad Days. And when the husband is in a ratty mood ~ they should just stay at work and be ratty there. I love your attitude of taking God's hand. He'll help you over the rough spots. Hang in there. {{{{{{{{{{JBCoupe}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Sorry you're having a streak of sadness. Hang in there. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I'm so sorry that you are sad. I am so used to you being happy all the time. I guess even you have bad days. I'm sorry about your dad. I hope you feel better soon.

My first reaction was to just say "me too!" but my dd doesn't have a sprained ankel (ouch!) and unfortunately I lost my dad a few years ago. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. As far as everything else, keep letting that sunshine in (even if it is friggin freezing here in Florida :-) It's all part of life and life is indeed a wonderful gift. Big double hugs, Martha
