Waking up Determined

With each new outcropping of weird bodily pain, I am all the more determined to overcome these challenges.   It seems like one strange infection disappears only to be replaced by another and I end up spending my days managing the new and the old symptoms.   My butt situation has become excruiticating.    One big pain in the butt!   (The irony that I too can be one big pain in the butt for those of you kind enough to come help me is not at all overlooked!).    Thank you for your patience.

Yet as I wake up and look out my window (until August 10th that is) at the pinon forest--which is absolutely delighted this morning with the rain---and I hear the birds singing their hearts out,  I am so thankful for still being here.    I find myself thinking only one thing:   I want to live.  Then I take a grateful deep breathe and realize:  I am living right now.    And it's good in spite of my body issues and complaints.  

My doctor appointment is next week and through prayer and determination, I hope to have these symptoms under control and me looking good.   After all, I have a new hairdo.
