This is the day.....

This is the day the LORD has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Monkey, as you know this blog was started for you.....

a "diary" of sorts so that years from now you would know your Mimi and Papa....

you'd know about our lives and how it was in the "olden days".....

we never know how long we have.....

This week as I anticipate more blood work and doctor appointments, two very

important women in my life have given me a new perspective.....

One, your cousin Dr. D, said to me - you can be in pain/illness and feel hopeless and helpless or you can be in pain/illness and feel hopeful and that help is on the way.....

The second, Princess # 2 (she does have a "real" name but like you Monkey, she has Princess # 2 as a nickname) sent me a song "You make Brave"

They made me realize I can choose the way I want to live.....

And I have so very much to be grateful for......

I have family and friends that love me......

I have a husband and children that would do anything for me.....

I have appointments at both UCF and the Mayo Clinic.....

And I have a grand daughter that will be born in 2 short months.

- Perspective -

What you see depends not only on what you look AT,

but also, on where you look FROM.

So....

This is the day the LORD has made -

I will be GLAD and REJOICE !

P.S.  Monkey, in case you're wondering - Mimi is Princess # 1 !
