I slept pretty good last night. I guess waiting until almost 1:00 am to go to bed helped! I didn't plan on staying up that late but I got a second wind after I showered. So, it's 6:20 right now and I am going to snag that shower early so I won't be wide awake when it's time for bed!
I got up and went to church this morning. I enjoyed the message today about "wanting". I also began thinking about the difference between being spoiled and being blessed. I realized that I am not a spoiled little brat as some may assume. I have just been unbelievably blessed throughout my life. I have been blessed with the many opportunities in my life. I have been blessed with an education, a wonderful husband and marriage, and the ability to relocate at the drop of a hat for our happiness. I also learned that the less you want the more you shall be blessed. So, in the new year I am going to try to not "want" as much. Lord knows I am already blessed beyond my wildest dreams..........but there are some other areas of my life that need a little blessing still!
After church I came home and made a list for groceries. I spent A LOT of money but this should last a while. We are going to limit ourselves to eating out once a week, not more than twice. We really would like to look into a house this summer so we have got to make some changes. Anyway, after the grocery store I came home and Rusty helped get everything unloaded and put away. I started dinner and now, after eating and cleaning the kitchen, here I am. I am very sleepy and ready for bed!! I am going to grab a shower and then sit back and relax until bed. I have to get up early tomorrow and early on Tuesday also. Ick!
Tomorrow is my MRI. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well......................which means I hope they find something so they can find out what is causing all of my pain. If they don't find anything I will probably be devastated. I don't WANT something to be wrong but something HAS to be wrong to be in pain like this 5-6 out of 7 days per week. So, we'll see. I sure hope it doesn't take my doctor all week to get back to me. I finally went and got the Naproxen script he wrote out and it didn't really do much. Anywho, again I am talking about my darn back.
Wishing you all a great week ahead and many blessings!
I love reading your blog Tara! You're right, wanting and blessings are two different things...I'm going to have to think about that one! Good luck with the MRI...and S-Center! See you tomorrow!
