Rougher few days...

So, round 3 has proven to be more challenging all around. Another migraine, more nausea, much more fatigue. Extrememly thankful for only having one more round of this combo and moving on to the last four. Next round is on the 24th.

There's not an awful lot to say except that I'm hibernating a bit more and still so thankful for all the Lord is teaching me...mostly making this typically very-busy-person comfortable with staying still. Some days, it gets hard. But most days, I just trust that this is where I am and can't fight it right now. That would not be in my best interest. It's not just a matter of rising above it...my body needs to rest and isn't giving me much choice! When I can, I do what I can.

Yesterday, I had to laugh at one point. The girls were home all day, took care of me and kept Bailey out of my way. They're a gift. As SOON as they left, I got a migraine, the phone rang and the pup started to throw up. Unbelievable! I grabbed the pup and got her outside just in time, got the phone and then crashed afterward. I've been getting a migraine with each round...thankful for meds that help!

Thankful thoughts:

• A visit from Jane B. What a treat! Thank you for your listening, understanding ear.
• Other visits as well...Jan, Carolyn, and others. It's a treat to have a piece of your busy days.
• Surprise meals. What an unexpected blessing and so needed.
• Pink tulips.  :)
• Warm slippers and covers on these cold days.
• My tender caretakers - Megan and Kristen, mostly and my dear hubby.
• Mint tea.
• My little nook of a room.

Again, from "Jesus Calling":

"It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look asif you have it all together. Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But I see straight through you, into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretense in your relationship with me. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood..."

Great comfort in that understanding these days.

Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither

height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation (including cancer!), will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amen.
