I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities.
Have mercy upon me, o Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31: 7,9, 24
Today is a good day. I can see and read. I can speak. I can communicate via the internet and the cell phone. I can wash my face with a warm wash cloth, and I am nourished with fresh fruit and juice and water.
Today I will keep the faith I profess by leaning on the Lord with my anxious thoughts and deep desire to heal. I will then show Him I trust Him by leaving anxiety, fear and tear- blow them into a balloon, float the balloon high in the air and then leave it there for another time.
If feel I must become most human and need to have a moment of unbridled emotion.….but one that is reasonable, I will pull the balloon towards me. Then I will release those emotions. I can let them fly out my fingertips and into oblivion, and slowly loosen the string to fly the balloon high above me.
I will not spend my moments weary and weeping. I will trust in the Lord, and my balloon will ultimately diminish in size and my faith will broaden my thoughts onward and upward.
Today is a good day.

Your prayers have been heard and I thank you for them. We are praying too – I am taking a few
baby steps. Better as the days past. I will expound on surgery in a post soon. I am still in the hospital, but am so glad for email to visit with friends. THANK YOU for prayers, and the best to you and your family and friends.
