Here is a video that I found today and love.
I guess I had special need to find it today. I just found out that I'm going to have surgery on Monday to remove my gall bladder. I know that this is a very routine procedure and I really have nothing to worry about, but I'm nervous and not happy that my life has been disrupted and that I am in pain. However, my life has been blessed already by many amazing people who have helped so much. Anna, Angie and Mariela took me to the ER on Wed and waited well into the night to drive me home. My best baby sister took me to the store to get me food and pain medicine (I am convinced that Lortab is sent direct from heaven). My best big sister came from Idaho to drive me to the doctor in Salt Lake today. My best little brother met us at the hospital to be supportive. My parents are on their way from Idaho and many dear friends have offered food, company and a place to stay. So, already I can see that good comes out of struggle.
Unfortunately for them, they have all had to put up with my sour attitude (and public barfing - sorry!)
I just need to focus on the silver lining.
