Another New Day

Let me begin with THANK YOU GOD FOR A NEW DAY. THANK YOU GOD FOR HEALTH AND FAMILY AND FOR THE SUNSHINE OUTSIDE.

I needed to say that because I am growing a little weary of winter and cold so if I remind myself that God gives us winter for a reason it helps me get through the days. Having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) makes winter hard because along with it come Seasonal Affective Disorder. The short days are a challenge because without sunlight depression can set in quickly. Having had a CFS flair up this week has been draining but I am beginning to feel better now. It usually takes a few days to completely recover but my challenge is to not push myself through and begin running the marathon that is my life as soon as I begin to improve.

Mom is sick now with what we think is the flu. It is hard because I can;t do anything for her but talk to her when she calls. I wish I could make her feel better but I have to trust God for that. Hopefully she will begin to improve soon as well so I can get her out and do something with her.

We are quickly approaching tech week for Hairspray. While I am looking forward to the show beginning so that it can be over I am not looking forward to three weekends running this show. I REALLY don't like it but I love working with Jim so that is a fair trade off. I am looking forward to it ending though so we can regain so resemblance of order and family life. Jim always seems to be gone and that is hard on not only me but mostly on Stephen. He is so close to Jim that when Jim isn't here Stephen really misses him.

I worked out again this morning and found that it didn't hurt quite as bad as the fist time. Even though it has been a couple of days since I did it. I couldn't do it when I was sick so I thought I would have a really hard time today but I didn't. Stephen is doing it now and is NOT enjoying it. I told him it was good for him and it was like a gym class for him. He is not happy but is doing it.

Well, that is about it for today. Life is what it is and we are surviving. Nothing overly exciting but grateful that we wake up each morning. Thanking God for what we do have and forgetting what we don't.
