I've Assigned Tonight as My Big Rest Night.

This is a pic Lee got of me Friday when we climbed the tower.  The wind was blowing so hard, even on the ground; I was hanging onto the tower to keep my balance!  It was really tough climbing. Today we got up and went shopping for books for Lee to read.  He goes through 3 or 4 books a week, so we hit the thrift shops to see what we can find and that makes it possible for him to read.  Dragging around was tough, though.  Then we ended up at Wal-Mart to get a script he's been waiting on for a week!  They had to get authorization from his doctor at home and that was like passing an act of congress!  We drug around Wal-Mart for about 3 hours waiting for it to all happen.  How frustrating! We DID come home with his script, though.  We had planned to eat burgers while we were out and I left chili thawing in the sink from the freezer.  I'm sure glad I did that, because I was starving when we got home!  I'm exhausted, too.  I didn't get my nap this afternoon, so I'm going to bed as soon as I get this written and my bath!  I thank God for a wonderful place to be and a wonderful person to share it!

When I thought I was so tired today I saw a lady who had only a smattering of a leg hanging in her jeans.  I know I had to feel better than she did.  It made me grateful.  Probably someone looked at me and was grateful, they weren't so tired, too.  We all have a purpose and everything is relative.  I'm grateful to be and to have a purpose.  I'm grateful that rest will do wonders to make me feel like a new person tomorrow, too!  God is great and He provides!

Maybe this is just your tender heart telling me something you think will boost me. It did; I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. When I'm this tired, I'll take anything! i love you, sweet friend! You always come in when I need you! Love you tons!

  3. Yes, my eyes need work too but I think you will find I'm not the only one that has a similar comment about this picture.
