Often times we may find it difficult to see pass the pain....You and I may not have the same pain...I mostly deal with physical pain due to health issues but on today I refuse to focus on even though it is so real and present.  You may deal with the same type of pain or you may have emotional pain due to heart break....but today as this is the Season of Thanks....let us just take a few minutes to reflect on the good in our lives and all the many blessing that have been bestowed on us and our families. Now just take a few minutes to just Breathe.....GOD IS GOOD ALL BY HIMSELF....He gives us life....He supplies all our needs... When you go about your day today...Do not forget to take a moment to just look around and observe how the season is changing...The trees colors are so beautiful and a sign that the seasons are changing. Just as the trees are a sign of the changes, reflect over your life and your situation look for the signs and signals in your life that a change is coming to y...

It has been five weeks since my surgery and the recovery is sure but slow coming....I had my appointment on Thursday and my doctor stated that I was progressing as scheduled.  I asked him several questions to get a better understanding on the changes that my body may be going through as the result of the I cave procedure that I had (Full Abdominal Hysterectomy). I was advised to go ahead and give the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).   I was kinda hesitant, but agreed to go ahead for a month to see how it works out for me.  So before leaving the doctor's office I was given some samples of the medication ( Minivelle) that am now to add to my daily regimen that is supposed to do what my body is no longer able to do on it own, which is hard for me to know as in the past everything was working in my words as "normal" so know I have to wait and see what changes I will be going through or not going through. MINIVELLE ®  (estradiol transdermal system) is a prescription med...

In spite of it all keep your smile......

Been away for awhile, but not ever really gone...the Dream of one day not having any physical pain may seem far fetched and like that of something thing hat may not ever happen.  Well in the past three weeks I have had to continue to "Dream Big"  and  "Hope" for some long awaited relief.  September 6th, I entered the hospital room at about 5:15 am in the morning for a scheduled surgery.  Not really knowing the outcome, I went in with the belief that things would some how be different for me.  The unknown always brig about fear. So as I was preparing my mind for my surgery.  It was very apparent in the preparation room that I was experiencing  heighten anxiety and increased pain as my blood pressure was off the charts.....The doctors and the nurses were at odds on what to do and told me if  " we don't get your pressure down and stable, we will not be able to perform your surgery today.  It's just not safe.  I had to give it to G...

Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Many of us do not realize that we can bring about stressors in our lives by worrying to much...Did you know that fear was the same things as worry.  Did you know that worry and anxiety increases daily stressors that affect your ability to cope with everyday life.  The more you talk about "nays's and no's" in life the more you increase your level of stress which I turn has a negative affect on you and those persons around you.  God has not given us the spirit of fear.  He has made provisions for our need and we do not have to worry about anything.  Sometimes this is easier said than done when it feels like somebody just pulled the rug from under you... (Retrieved from web...I take no credit for this image) At this point, I could go into details of my wows and troubles and fears but not tonight....I am writing to inspire and uplift.  I am believing and decreeing that it's already done.   My desire is to help ...

Today is Friday... Thankful for this week as I celebrated my 41st birthday. I'm always determined to look better than I feel as I have had some very rough days doing this week due to the increased pain from the fibromyalgia. This week I also visited Dr. and was informed that I would be having major surgery within a few weeks. I hope that with the surgery I will begin to feel better and have a decrease in my pain level is many days it is very unbearable for me to do anything because of the pain that I feel on a day-to-day basis. I trust God that my relief will come soon to me and I will be better able to cope with the pain in my body. 6/16/13 I originally starting writin on this a few weeks ago but didn't finish.  Nothing much has changed as I continue to be in pain. But continue to be in the press as I can't quit...I am determined to Live! I was able to meet my precious nephew a week ago and it was the most awesome experience even though we traveled over 600 miles to get to...
