  • The Threshold of 50

    Saturday, May 17, 2008

    As I sit here at my computer wide awake and contemplating how my life has changed so much in a year a deep sense of sadness fills the depths of me. I struggle daily with pain that to me is beyond bearable at times. My gait has changed due to the pain in my legs. A year ago I danced at my daughter’s wedding; now hating to admit it but reality check in mind...I could not dance today if I had ...

  • "Buns of Steel"

    Sunday, May 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well, I have not been able to go to the gym since last week due to a medical procedure. I am still not able to go BUT, I did get out my new copy of Buns of Steel this morning! It is on VHS since it was released in 1987! It is one of the best workout tapes I have ever done. I did many of the moves on my own over the years. A few weeks ago I decided to order another copy since I long since lost min...

    Sunday, August 3, 2008

    It was after 11:00pm last night before I got to bed after completing finishing touches to posters I had made and getting my self settled for what was ahead of us...

  • The Choice to Live

    Wednesday, August 27, 2008 | A Positive story

    I am learning that too much information may not be such a good thing for my emotional well being.
    I have always wanted to be right on top of things, I will research a subject endlessly to learn all that I can about it. Lately I have been over-saturating my brain with information about MSA and I am finding that right now I want to stop with all the information.
    Instead of worrying about all t...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

  • the night full of emtions and the walk it took me on..

    Monday, October 20, 2008 | A Positive story

       if you have read the previous entry this entry will possibly make more sense and add more details of where my heart was the night of the wedding. In this single night I learned a lot about myself, my friends, people who I have misunderstood and how much this woman loves me.. early in the night I ran into an old friend at the reception. he was a good friend in high school we used to d...

  • Answered Prayers

    Sunday, January 4, 2009 | A Positive story

    I've been thinking lately about all my prayers over the years. Those that were answered and those that did not seem to be. Since I've known for a long time I had reproductive issues I always prayed to have children. Well, that prayer was answered just not how I wanted. I ended up running 3 child care centers at the same time and had hundreds of children under my care every day. (I started...

  • southern song in the air

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009

    every time i tried to go home, the tall slender  woman with beautiffi; dark skin  and her wide  smile would look at me with a charm in her eyes, i would wait, walk back in forth in that little glass room, stareing out the window to the world i was thinking of leaving. i  saw people all moveing to the same song, music, filled the air, no one in pain, they worked,to th...

  • Letting Go...

    Monday, June 1, 2009 | A Positive story

    Over the years I have struggled with allowing God's will with my infertility. I have knowingly had a hard time completely giving my will up to God for His because I am so afraid that His will for me does not include a biological child or pregnancy. I feel myself holding on to my will because I want it so much. 
    In all other aspects of my life I have been able to hand over my will for His,...

  • Haven't been on in awhile

    Saturday, June 20, 2009 | A Positive story

    Since being on Doxycycline again (along with taking Cats Claw, Arabinex and Artemisinin), I have been doing great. Only very small amounts of symptoms it seems these days but most of my energy is back to normal. And I have been so positive lately.  Pretty pysched. Not much else to say at the moment.
    I wish all my Lymie friends here at DailyStrength all the best. You are all always in my praye...
