Sunday

This is the day the Lord has made!  Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Another week has come and gone.  It has been a busy week!  I am asked often how my head is doing.  I think that I am looking much better when I am well rested, but when I am worn out or been in a noisy place, I get the headache look fairly quickly.  I do have a headache all the time yet, but for the most part it is mild enough that I can function.  It does become stronger when I am in busy or loud places but I have tolerated more than what I expected the last few days.  That is always a bonus!  My ears still ring all the time and as my headache gets worse the ringing becomes louder.  That is irritating, but I have had that for a long time now and am pretty used to that.  The headache is always harder to get used to, but I think that my pain tolerance for the headache is pretty high.  If I had this "mild" headache years ago, it would have slowed me down significantly more than it does now.

I am continuing to work at being thankful for all things.  I can't say that I am thankful for the headache, but I am thankful for many of the things the Lord has orchestrated for me to deal with it.  With my family close to help us, providing financially for us to continue moving forward, good health insurance :), and a faithful and loving husband that takes such good care of me!  There are many more things, but if any of these things were missing it would be much harder.  It hasn't been easy and obviously my health expenses have made a big impact on us but we are still moving forward and thankful for God's blessing on us.  It is always encouraging to me to know that a few people check this blog out, too, and care about how I am doing.  I hear it in person sometimes, but since I usually don't get out much at all this blog has been a good outlet for me and an encouragement.  It is so easy to think about and emphasize the negative but there is a lot of positive to think about and be thankful for!
