How can I be sick so long? I had a cold, no big deal, for 3 weeks during the holiday. The cough never went away. I then do a 5 day liquid cleanse and on the 4th day, get a fever that seems to last forever. I was pretty much in bed over the weekend. Yesterday is a wash. Now it's Tuesday. I know I'm feeling better because I'm not so achey, but I still feel crappy. And the cough is still there. I laugh because even though I'm doing nothing I still make chips and guacamole for a birthday party, sit in the car so Julie can drive and get things done, feed the missionaries, make Sunday dinner, feed the missionaries, did the wash and make a few phone calls. I am so done with this. I think Nyquil for a couple days is too much for me. Just can't focus.
Anyways, thoughts? I can do anything. I don't work. I like to get things done and like to see things accomplished, but it's really nice to have a nice home and the ability to take it easy. I see you kids growing up and starting your own lives. It makes me happy and I'm proud of you. I see Jamie with George and how much fun she is having being a new mom - I hope all of you get a baby like George (at least for your first one).
I don't know how we're going to keep together and keep things going over the years. I do my best, but I realize that not everyone will be happy. I need to figure out Peru in May and then see if we can get together before Katie leaves on a mission. Everyone's got priorities which are important and it will only get more complicated. Life is full of so many possibilities and because of Dad we have so many possibilities. (And maybe even more because of me because I am not a woman who needs to spend lots of money on me or my clothes or on my home). Be good stewards of the opportunities you have.
God is Good Always. (as Cass always says). LISTEN.
