Another Birthday down....hope many more to come.

Here we are in our clashing shirts!!!

Well today is my birthday and I spent most of it on the

couch resting. So I thought I would post a picture

of Joe and I on a day I was doing good.

This was taken the last week of August when

we went out to eat for one of the grand kid's

birthday. It was a good day. I will have other good days ...today just has not been

one. I am fast to let fear creep in when a bad day hits

now and get stirred up that I am going to fall

back into that pit of depression when in fact

I just have had a lot of family stress and over did

last week.

So, a friend reminded me when I was whining on the

phone earlier today that I had hoped to be doing so

much better on my birthday than I was earlier in the summer..

she told me that with all the "stuff" life had thrown my way

lately ....a healthy person would have been crumbling...so in fact

I AM doing better.

My husband has to start treatments in about 6 weeks

and we have probably 48 weeks of some rough days.

Pray for us.

IT is my 53rd birthday and I have lost a few friends and family

members at younger ages....so any birthday above

ground is a great birthday!!! Got that from

my husband Joe. Bless him he is always looking

for the positive in everything.....and I am a glass half

full gal so he is good for me.
