When you are doing well . . .

My stomach was feeling well!  At least this past week.  This has not always been the case these past few months.

So, probably against better judgment, I went off some medication I have been taking.  The first few days the rumblings in my stomach were not bad.  But today, I awoke to a feeling of nausea that had been creeping up on me.

I’m back on the medication, hopefully a little wiser. 

After a morning at work, I’ve cancelled other activities for the day.  I’m sitting at home, trying to lay low.  The nausea is passing and I’m expecting to be back "running" tomorrow.

I pray for daily health.  As I reach an older age, my prayers take on greater urgency.  Some have characterized this aging process as a time where we say "I’m doing well for the shape I’m in."  Others say you might as well not complain — no one will listen.  And still others see the bright side of reaching the other side — heaven certainly has an appeal!

Personally, I’m not "there" yet!  I go to places I would like to be, I get out for coffee (or hot chocolate),  and I can still laugh! 

So, I guess this blog is just  a way of admitting that, although I’m not what I used to be, there is still God-given enjoyment in who I am!!
