Some days just seem to feel like this!

Ever have a day like this?

Blessed to have this man as my husband for 35 years. 

"It's not how many breaths or days we had together, 

but how many moments that took our breaths away!"

Happy Anniversary, Mike!

"Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength."    Ralph Sockman

If I can throw a single ray of light, Across the darkened pathway of another;

If I can aid some soul to clearer sight Of light and duty and thus bless my brother;

If I can wipe from any human cheek a tear I shall not have, then, lived in vain while here.

If I can guide some erring to truth Inspire within his heart a sense of duty;

If I can plant within the soul of a rosy plant A sense of light, a love of truth and beauty;

If I can teach one man that God and Heaven are near; I shall not have, then, lived in vain while here.

If from my mind I can banish doubt and fear And keep my life attuned to truth, love and kindness;

If I can scatter light and hope and cheer And help and remove the curse of mental blindness;

If I can make joy more, more hope, less pain I shall not have, lived in vain while here.

If by life’s road side I can plant a tree Beneath whose shade some wearied head may rest

Though I may never share its shade or see Its beauty I shall yet be truly blessed

Though no one knows my name.

Home from the hospital and doing better.  Thank you for your prayers.

Hospital -Round 2

Was admitted back into the hospital for severe dehyration. I will just leave it as a very rough day. Don't really know how I got it. Don't really want to blame any dining places. It could have easily been a mistake on my part. I take immune-suppressant medications and could be how I picked it up. All that matters is recovering from it. They have removed me from most of my medications to help with my other conditions..so that's been a bit of a challenge,but I am making progress little by little. I'll be in here for a few more days and would appreciate your prayers!

Diagnosis

The doctor called me this morning with results from my lab work.  I have Salmonella poisoning.  They have put me on antibiotics for 10 days. This should do the trick!
