It has been a hard day, so this will be short.
1. Jeans (Today I tried on my jeans, the ones that I had been wearing before my surgery. I've not put them on since September, as the scars would be irritated by the waistband. To my surprise, they fit. They are a little baggy even!)
2. Aimee (It means something indescribable to have a friend who will stay up with you until your husband comes home from work. Even if that means she loses sleep in the process. Tonight I was in pain and I was scared, but Aimee stayed on the line and read to me and talked to me until Steve got here. I can't express how much I appreciate her diligence and her love.)
3. Boots (A friend from college is offering to give away several pairs of boots. It so happens that the items are just in my size. I've been praying and hoping for a way to find some new boots because they are what I tend to pair with my skirts for church. Since I outgrew my last pair I really have no decent church shoes. While it's not a done deal yet, a few other people want in on the awesome boot action, I am still excited for the possibility of having a new-to-me pair!)
4. Running Water (I used the warm compress on my eyes today (again) and I do realize it is a blessing to have HOT running water. To not have to take the time to heat up the water in order to make it useful.)
5. Books (Aimee read me some more things by Vashti McKenzie and I found them very enlightening and inspirational. She also read some Shel Silverstein poems which I found very amusing. It's good to have those things to take my mind off the worry.)
I hope you're all doing well and that you have had good things in your life to cherish today!
