Pains

There is a quote by Maya Angelou that states, "Just because I have pains doesn't mean I have to be one." That quote reminds me that sometimes it is important for me to keep my "pains" to myself. I really don't have a lot of pain with MG. My joints and my muscles ache but there is not any real pain. My pain comes from the heart. The grief that I feel from the changes that MG brought when he came to live with me. I have once again regrouped. It is my goal not to be a pain. :) Today I got up, put on my makeup and got out for a while. It was nice to be out of the house and to see people. I feel tired but I feel good. This afternoon I am treating myself to a manicure. I love to have my nails done. My daughter in love laughs that my nails are fixed in pictures of Todd and me even when  he was very young. Today is a beautiful day. The weather is just right and sunny. I am counting my blessings. I am going to dinner and a movie with friends. I think I will have a huge bag of popcorn and a coke at the movie.

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Psalm 16:8
