End of Day

Well - Lovely is healthy. She is battling a viral "something" but the test run show nothing horrible (since having a fever 5+ days can make you wonder). She was even cleared for school as long as she doesn't spike. So yeah for us!

Tomorrow morning after carpool I'm going to be a 'walk in' at my doctor and finally get myself looked at. I'm tired of coughing. Like daughter, like mother. We get sick! I hope to relay some good news!

I'd write more, but it has been a LONG day. Before I go, I will record for myself here some cool thoughts I read today! Maybe they'll speak to any readers too!

~ Ever feel like you are just going in a circle, round and round, and stuck? For years, a month, or just today? Well, perhaps I need to see my circle as a SPIRAL, and somehow we have to find the way to spiral upwards, rather than downwards.

~ "Before a flower can blossom in the sunlight, it must first grow through dark soil. Before a butterfly can dance through the air, it must first evolve within a dark cocoon. If it seems that I am being held back from achieving some goal, I realize that this is an opportunity of growth for me...[one day, struggling] like the flower and the butterfly, I, too, emerge strong and free. Having left behind any habit or belief that could limit or restrict me, I have been transformed. I enjoy the wonderful exhilaration of being the new me. I understand that I have freedom from being who I was in the past and the freedom to be who I am now."

[both ideas/quotes above came from
Daily Word magazine]

Cheers!!!

  1. I honestly haven't read any blogs, not even yours since Saturday. So weird that you blog about something and then I do too using the same phrase. Of course yours is about getting out of it and mine, well, isn't. I'm glad you can always see the light at the end of the tunnel especially since I sometimes I feel like I don't even know how to open my eyes. Which is why there's an award for you on my blog.

  2. HOW WEIRD!!! But cool! And don't think for a second that I don't think tunnels are always lighted! I read things like what I quoted above to help me think my personal tunnels are not endless darkness or spiraling downward. If things were always so "rosey" for me, I wouldn't be so insecure. I'm trying, like you, like everyone, to find a way to survive and find that upbeat Spirit and hold fast to it.

    Easier said than done...and I'm glad I'm not alone and you are here for the journey!!!

    And, gee whiz, an award? Aww thanks!
