Ever wish you were a kid again? I only envy my health and energy, plus I was pretty darn cute! I've been sick again... the flu this time. It has passed thru the family, and has lingered for about 3 weeks for me. The others were down for a day or two. I have so many things that I want to do, and so many things that I should do... but as soon as I am up and going, I get knock back on my butt! Sometimes I feel completely defeated. Why get back up? Maybe taking a dive isn't such a bad idea. Of course this idea would work if I didn't have my children; they are the sources of my sanity and my insanity. I would never want my kids to think that they weren't enough for me to stick around. So onward I plod.
Someday (SOON) I hope to run and skip and jump and dance... until then, could I just sleep? Nope, I think it's just time to keep plodding along. And to keep looking for healing, where ever it may be.
To those of you who are awaiting hanging out with me, I want you to know that I would love to do that... now let's see when I CAN do that. Hopefully soon. I have friends to the south, and friends up north, I have friends in the east, and ever out west on the coast, not to mention the one right here. I love you all and hope that you will continue to give me grace as I try to pull together. There are quite a few of you that I owe, and I'm looking forward to feeling well enough to pay you back.
So for now my dreams are small... get all the dishes washed, make sure we all have clean underwear, and get people to the right places at the right time. The bigger things will come in time.
hugs and stuff, -jay-
