"I will bless the Lord at all times.

His praise will always be on my lips ( I hope).

My soul will glory in the Lord; for He has been so good to me.

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord." Psalm 34


I better say it while I'm still 15 days away from my 1st chemo and feeling strong: regardless of how I feel, I believe that suffering and letting go is part of life on earth. It is the pruning that actually produces growth in the plant. Ouch! My first-world comfort and entitlement doesn't enjoy this idea, but it is true. Most things are " both/and" not "either/or." I can miss my college daughter immensely and be equally thrilled that she is pursuing her dreams. I am sad when I see my parents age and I still want to be with them. My husband's inconsistent spelling of his own name drives me crazy, and he is the one I want to be with most. How many seemingly opposites co-exist in your life? It's beautifully messy. And all about Love
