  As I was headed to work this morning this sunrise greeted me today. Of course the camera doesn’t capture all the purty colors that were visible.  Back tracking just a little, After the long weekend and trying to get a handle on all of this, My Monday was full of wonderful affirmations for me. My co-work over the years has shared a story about a woman whom she admires and I have come to admire her resilience and deep faith. I had the opportunity to talk to her Monday morning and what a wonderful rush of peace washed over me. Later I made a call to my Doctor last night just before 6 p.m.

I wanted to reconfirm some of the terms and descriptions that she had used… she was so understanding and the encouraging that it was in fact a lot to digest and I retained what she said well. One of the problems that I have commented on was that there were days where my thought process would get all garbled up and concentration was zilch. So as I reflect back I can see that my thyroid was misbehaving even though the tests hadn’t picked up on it… it was all indicating “menopause” related… Yephee.

So this morning I called and spoke with my daughter and let her know what was up and the testing I would be having done next week. I have to focus on one task at a time… but not her, she is holding a conversation and reading on line and giving me encouragement all at the same time… She is so incredibly awsome. Parents never want to bother their children, even grown up children with matters like this… We want to always be strong in their eyes. The conversation was easier than I had thought… Another bullet dodged. I had no more hung up the phone when another dear friend had called… not knowing anything was calling to check on me because I had been on her mind a lot… This is one of life’s wonderful Joys… Friends and meaningful relationships that you know a higher universal power is at work. I am learning quickly that when we turn matters like this over to our higher power, an unresounding peace stays with you through the day.
