Facing challenges
Some days I am just plain tired. Tired of trying to do all I am supposed to do, all that I want to do, and all that I wish I could do. When I came to Earth, I was not informed that I would be getting a cheap shot body that barely functioned, a FOO (family of origin) that had more nuts than a pecan tree, and life experiences that keep landing me in the worse case scenario section of self-help books and a few psychology books, too. My grand daughter's high pitch 5 year-old voice, "Are you kidding me?" None the less, this is what I was handed. Jana over at Band Back Together talks about the hands we are dealt. Betsy Ten Boom (Corrie's sister) talked about thanking God for the Fleas. I stand in awe. I also read other bloggers and their respective challenges. My problems are not the worse. There are things that have passed me by. Ten years cancer free, a very exciting milestone. Amazing kids, kids-in-laws, grandkids, sister, friends, good counselor, wonderful medical doctor, being a chain breaker. Yup, the hand I was dealt has some wild deuces, jokers, and quite a few low cards but I have an ace or 2 in the hole. Tonight I am tired but I am a happy tired. Good Night.

I'm tired too. Tired of all the games people play and trying to understand their motives.
I understand that.
Good to be happy tired. And good to remember to count blessings along with trials.
Thanks.
