This and That
Well, today is the first day back to work after a 8 day vacation (6 working days and weekend). My time off was refreshing. I was able to rest and relax despite the busyness of making a quick trip to NYC for my dear cousin's wedding. Having a week off from work is refreshing and good for the soul; but I do admit it is good to be back at work because I cringe at the idea of my workload at work is piling up! I guess I'm a very "on task" person and I like to get things done before the deadline; but thankfully, I didn't worry about that during my time off. I loved my time off, but enjoyed getting back to the swing of things at work.
Today, I received some very sad news about a family friend of ours. Mrs. Searson knew me since I was about 4 yrs old---I'm almost 29 which means she's know me for over 20 yrs! She had surgery on her gallbladder on Monday and had complications that arose along with the gallbladder surgery. Last night around 10:00, the Lord took her home to be with Him. It's very sad for me because I love her so much and I'm going to miss her terribly. I rejoice that she is in the midst of the Lord's presence. When I heard she had surgery and complications, I was able to visit her in the hospital on Tuesday evening. She looked good despite her pain and her tiredness; but she seemed so at peace with everything. It makes me feel better to know that she's in a better place with no pain and no suffering and that she is with her King and Maker!
Physically, it's been rough for me the past few weeks. My stomach problems have resurfaced and I've been nauseated most of today. It's kind of frustrating since I've been feeling relatively well for some time. I guess I should be more disciplined as I once was with sticking to my diet as I'm supposed to. My energy level has decreased because of this and having a little bit of trouble eating. Despite my exercising regularly, my energy is still somewhat lower than usual and at times, I'm just way too tired to go to exercise class. So, please be thinking and praying for me. I can really use all the prayers I can get.
That's all! Take care....until next time!
