Looking Forward



Hello Sweet Friends

Looking Forward
YES
That IS what I need to do

The past 5 months have been filled with
Unimaginable pain, sickness and stress
I'm ready to Look Forward

Matthew is home from his 3rd stay
In Patient Treatment
He is over the influenza
Praying he stays healthy in every way over the months to come

I am down with something again
I had my mini hospital vacation in October
And since then I have been sick 3 times
I'm usually fairly healthy
I believe all the stress has
Depleted my immune system
I need a Huge Re~Charge!

Late Wednesday evening I decided to
Start a project
(what was I thinking)
I've been wanting to paint this
Super sweet bed side table for years
I've had a small pot of Annie Sloan paint
I guess I decided there was no time like the present


The only problem was
I got sick
So, the piece is half painted
Waiting for me to get to feeling well enough to finish it
Hopefully this week


Even though I have a fever and feel crumby today
I kept thinking about my taxes
And I really wanted to get them done
SO
I drug my achy body into my office
And forced myself to get her done

YaY
Check that off my to do list!!


Now,
I'm back in my black easy chair
And with a little help from my friends
I hope to be feeling as good as new tomorrow
Work is calling, you know


And Yes!
The Chocolate IS the best medicine!

May YOU have a beautiful week ahead!
Enjoy the fullness of HIS presence
And the beauty of HIS creation!

Blessings
Thanks for stopping by

  9. Oh gosh, hope you get feeling better! Glad also that Matthew is on the mend! I think #3 is the way it's going this year with colds. I had not had one for two years and I have had one 3 times this year. Crazy!! Hooray that the taxes are done. Hubby always does ours and I never like hearing what we have to pay each year. lol!
    hugs,
    Jann

  14. Cindy,
    I hope you are feeling better, stress is the worst. To boost the immune system I take Qunol Mega CoQ10 (Ubiquinol). It truly is a magical vitamin and I've taken it since 1983. Enjoy getting back to your project and I wish you good health and stress free days ahead. Laughter helps with stress, get together with friends or watch a funny comedy.
    xoxo,
    Vera

  16. I'm sorry you've had so many health issues. Man, I'm jealous. I wish we could have gone through our turbo tax so quickly. We ran into problems and will have to get back to it. :-(
