Three Things to be Grateful For

I took a "quiet day" after my medical news of yesterday. It was good to hear from my sister and daughter checking in to see how I was doing.

I spent time working on a report for the MFSO board.
I spent time reading a murder mystery.
I spent time working on my will with a lawyer over the phone. With possible surgery on the horizon I thought I best get busy and write one.
I spent time reading emails of support from friends. Five persons had had back fusion surgery. All agreed that it has made a positive difference.
I walked the garden at UK but I could not finish the last circle of the cloverleaf, my right leg was hurting and my lower back was hurting. Portent of things to come.
Thinking I might move to FL to be near my daughter Lisa as my lease is up Nov 1.
I thought I could get settled in and possibly have the surgery in the new year.

Where is God? God is with me as I have always known even in an abusive relationship as I struggled to find the light within. God is with me through medical professionals, through caring notes from friends, the love of my daughter.

For this day I am thankful to be alive, to be cared for, to feel the warm air on my skin as I walked this evening. It is enough, I have journeyed far spiritually and if God wants to call me home, I will say as my dad did, "I sure would like to stay but I am ready."
