Happy Birthday, Katie Beth! We send our best wishes as you reach this milestone and also start the trek to more challenges! Kelly, you are so fortunate ( and I know you know it!) to have such a fantastic family, and they, too, are so fortunate to have you!!!
You will help each other to get through all the challenges ahead–and you’ll have fun, I’m sure, doing it! Best wishes!
It’s so amazing that our minds are running on similar tracks sometimes. The blog post I put up yesterday is about encouragement and how important it is in getting people more involved in their own care and self management. It fits right in with goal setting which is what the blog was about when I started.
Encouragement is the ‘secret sauce’ in my opinion. That’s one good thing about Twitter, at least among the people I talk to there. They are a generous bunch of people with praise and spreading good and constructive messages.
This is to wish Katie Beth a happy 21st. When I read about her major, I was really tickled. My grandson, Ryan, leaves today for Baylor university where hexagon major in bio-chemistry. He wants to either be a country doctor, a cardiologist or a researcher developing cures for diseases. Isn’t it wonderful when bright young people want to contribute to the betterment of the world instead of just making a lot of money? My heart swells w/pride and joy at ryans choices as I’m sure yours does for KB.
Forging ahead w/my spear!

Help! I need some encouragement. My bones hurt like crazy, I can hardly lift my arms, my R ankle hurts so bad I can barely walk, I have my usual pre-flare sore throat and my husband and I are supposed to leave for a weekend away tomorrow. I hate this disease. Not only does it manage to wreak havoc on my life but it is also messing with my husband’s plans. I am hoping my Doc will agree to a prednisone burst and taper just to get me through the next few days. Prayers and encouragement, please.
OH, Kelly … thank you once again for being transparent, being real, and putting yourself out there. You give me so much hope. This is my 4th year of not teaching full time. After being diagnosed, I just thought I’d take a year off and go back. Yeah, right! I’m now checking into disability at age 44. I’m a go-getter too, and those days that are turtle slow are so frustrating! Worse than the pain I think. But the Lord has used this disease to draw me closer to him. And if that’s what it takes, I’m in. Day by day, we must speak life, not only to those around us, but to ourselves as well. Blessings!

So true Vi and I would’ve never guessed how much fun it is to watch them too.

YES yes Annette. You’re so right. It’s hard to say how important & how helpful.
