    Sunday, February 1, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    I have asked for prayers many times on this board to the point I am sure you are all tired of this and frankly so I am. I am very tired of health issues and life issues. I am having surgery (small minor no big deal) on February the 12. I am not really asking prayer for the surgery. What I am asking prayer for is me. I have never been afraid about my health I have always viewed as one more mountai...

    Tuesday, October 14, 2008 | A Sad story

     Dear DS friends,
    It is with a sad heart today that I have to tell you all that my mother died yesterday morning peacefully at 12:30 am.
    Mom was an amazing woman.
    I will write more later but, for now I will of course be gone till next week.
    I know you will all keep my family in your prayers and for that my friends I am very thankful.

  • Spinal Surgeon visit tomorrow.

    Tuesday, July 7, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    I am afraid.  Yes I know that God does not give the spirit of fear but of sound mind.  I can quote you lots of verses.  The thing is I have too many bad memories.  Tomorrow I go to the spine surgeon to discuss the ct scan.  Last time I had surgery I was suppose to have someone spend the night with me.  My hubby had a gout attack and he went to the doctor and she sent...

    Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | A Sad story

    I want to apologize for not being around much.  I have just came in done what I hadd to do and left and not been much support for anyone and  I am sorry.  I am tired of pain.  I have laid in my bed numerous time asking the Lord just to take me own home.  He must not want me yet cause here I still set and in pain. 
    I apologize for those who feel I took them for grante...

  • night mares??

    Wednesday, August 6, 2008 | A Sad story

    I am having really bad dreams Verging on night mares.  I don't understand them at all.  People who I have lost to death are in these dreams, but there still dead but they are alive.  I have them back for a day for some reason.  I wake up half wanting the dream to be true and half in a cold sweat.  I don't understand them.  My mother in law seems to be the one...

  • Loneliness is one of the by products of Pain....

    Sunday, April 27, 2008 | A Painful story

     It's a weird thing but Pain can be so isolating that it creates loneliness. As if pain isn't enough, we have to face the indignity of not being able to do what we did before. We can't go where we used to either.Oh, don't get me wrong people are kind and caring, but nothing changes the fact that our world as we know it is shrinking! We find we can't keep up, so we hide aw...

  • It's the little things.....

    Tuesday, March 3, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    It's not necessarily the crisis of life that wears us down, it's the little things....
    The trying to make a new and different something to eat, and then no one (including yourself) likes it!
    It is the mistakes that happen in your checkbook, or your adult kid's checkbook, that need fixing yesterday!
    It's the cold that goes on and on and on...and the heat bill that goes on and on and o...

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Painful story

    Am feeling really low right now, have just had a good cry, which has probably done me good really. Had a busy day, Philip has pushed for the flat to be evaluated so someone came in with me today to valuate it and I have another agent tomorrow *sigh*.......while the two men were looking round I was in another room, trying so hard not to cry.  Managed to keep it in.  I feel it is all too ...
