Thoughts for My Darling Daughter

I love my daughter so very much. I hope she never thinks about anything as much as I think about her now. She has a spunk and tenacity about her, that lights up an entire room with her presence. She is someone who is firey, brave and so full of life that her eyes glissen as she speaks. Every day we have spent, especially this year, has been a great gift and such joy, that I thank God for each and every good moment we have had together.

Yesterday, I went to visit my daughter who lives on her own near the university where she studies. She appears as if she is becoming ill again, has lost some weight, with little energy and is pale. We will go to the doctor for some tests in the next few days. Meanwhile, my blogging will be at a minimum for now, as I have to take care of business at this end.

No matter how much we may want something to go away or disappear, it may be part of what we have to walk through in this life. Learning to live and accept unresolved problems, no matter how disturbing or painful they may be, is a lesson in accepting life as it is rather than the way we may want it to be.

Please keep us in your prayers and good thoughts. Every day is a great blessing, and as such each and every moment must be appreciated for the gift that it truly is. One truly does not really know what tomorrow may bring.

All good thoughts and blessings to all.

Thank you for your minds.

Some troubles take up permanent residence and have to be lived with, that's for sure. But for most, "This too shall pass" works...

Hope springs eternal in the human breast
Man never Is, but always To be blest
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home
Rests and expatiates in a life to come

I can understand you, I was ill from the age of 8 on till well into adulthood.
While I always kept an optimistic view, I can't even understand, how, my mother was crying the whole time.
I really believed her when I heard her say this to a friend on the phone that she was suffering much more than I (the patient) did.

Many heartfelt and warm thank yous for your kind wishes about my daughter and her health.

The road is long, the pain often difficult, but I stay in the moment, and hope for the best.

I feel for you Barb! I am out of sorts when my daughter even has a fever and a cold or something. You are a very strong woman! Like you need anyone to tell you that?!? Anyway, God speed to you both as I pray for your comfort and quick healing.
