I want everyone to know that I have not given up. I still have a goal of completing 100 things of JOY this year for 2010. So far it has been a lot harder than I ever imagined but I'm not losing this goal! I've been so blessed to have so many family and friends let me know that they are praying for us. I want everyone to know that it is working.
I am feeling a lot better. After the surgery, I felt so much better than I have in a long time. The next day we went to the rec center with my family and it seemed as if nothing had ever happened. The only thing that has left me a little off balance, is the loratab that the doctor prescribed. Luckily, the last one of those pills will be taken on tonight. Thank goodness!!!
I would like to thank everyone for the flowers, dinners, notes, whip cream, phone calls, desserts, and everything else! I have felt that I have this network of family, friends who are family, all giving wonderful advice and hoping for the best. I think that without all of you I would have had to finally eat worms as the song goes. Luckily, I can now stick to snails at fancy French restaurants in New York City.
But honestly thank you. My list is in the process of changing, I haven't forgotten about it. I've learned not to take things for granted and what is most important to me than ever before. I also count my lucky stars that I am still young and plenty of time to still live life! :) As I have said for years in every e-mail that I have sent as my signature, "Live life to the fullest." I've forgotten all about it until today a friend reminded me of it.
That's it, we just have to keep living life to the fullest and bring ourselves closer to joy, love and what matters most.
Again my thanks to each of you.
I'm really glad to hear you're doing so well. I'm sorry I haven't been much of a support, as I'm sure you've heard (and probably seen on Facebook), we've had our own issues going on. But it sounds like you've been well taken care of!
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful and expressive writer. You have been in my thoughts and prayers and as hard as this experience has been, I am so glad for the system of support and love that you and your husband have, and so impressed with how you both have hung on to each other and comforted each other through this difficult time. I love that you gave your baby such a beautiful name. With the couple of miscarriages I experienced, I was not far enough along to know the gender, but I still mourned the loss of a child. I have loved you determination to find Joy in all things...because if you are looking for it, you will always find it! God is good, God is great, He watches over all.
Love,
Karen
