Thank God!

Well, we made it through another weekend. I'm loving this feeling-better thing. I can actually participate in life again and it's wonderful. There wasn't anything especially dramatic about this past weekend; but it was fun and I got to spend some quality time with my children. Mark was at the Tulsa workshop so the kids and I were on our own until Saturday night. The kids' new favorite book is "The Poky Little Puppy" so we read that a lot. We also got to watch some great classics together..."Scooby-Doo" (the one with Josie and the Pussycats), etc...
This is a fairly short and boring post but it just mainly is to say thanks to everyone for praying for me. Even though this past weekend wasn't full of activity, it was full of me being back on my feet. Small things, like doing the laundry and cooking meals, are huge accomplishments for me now. I take nothing for granted anymore. Not being able to bathe my children was terrible and now I enjoy every splash. Not being able to sit in the floor for long periods of time was awful, so now I am the first to suggest we sit and build with the blocks!
Smiles used to be few and far between...now, they're mandatory! If there's something you used to enjoy but have put on the back burner, or something you would like to do...DO IT!! Don't wait until it's impossible for you in order to realize how special life can be.
I thank God for the illness that made me appreciate life...and I thank God that I'm healthy now to enjoy life!!
