I’m Feeling Better!

I’m not completely over this bug but I am feeling a lot better and was able to work on some projects today. Not a whole lot has been going on around here and I think Norm and I are suffering from the summer doldrums.

The two of us were watching TV together last night and there was this commercial showing kids skipping along a pathway. Without really thinking Norm says to me, “Do you like to skip?” I said, “What?” It suddenly dawned on him what he said and then we both were laughing hysterically. He told me how much he enjoyed skipping as a child and realized of course that I have never skipped before. Wheelchairs just don’t do that sort of thing. I told Norm that I wanted to see him skip but he said it’s been too many years so he’ll have to practice first. Now that I think about it I’m not sure I want my six-foot four-inch, soon to be 62-year-old husband to skip around the house. Norm’s a wonderful man but he’s never been athletic or physically coordinated.

One thing very special that did happen this week is the letter I received in the mail from my five year old niece Mackenzie. She drew a lovely picture of me and her. A few weeks ago I also received a letter from my eight year old niece Hannah. I love receiving letters from my girls. It’s hard to be away from them — they live in San Diego. I hope to go visit them soon.

I’m listening to The Fish on XM satellite radio and the song playing currently is “Voice of Truth” by Casting Crowns. I love that song because it really speaks to me. Sometimes when things aren’t going well or when I’m sick I pay too much attention to the voices in my head telling me of all of my failures and how bad things are and how they’re never going to get better, etc. etc. I thank God that he reminds me not to listen to those voices because they are telling me lies. This song I’m listening to has the following chorus:

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story.
The Voice of Truth says, “Do not be afraid!”
And the Voice of Truth says, “This is for My glory”
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth.

Amen!

I hear Norm driving up with our dinner! Tonight we’re having Schlotzsky’s Deli! Yummy.

I remember also that I had magic shoes when I skipped around Denver.I will look for them and practice….oh no…..I don’t remember where I put them. It might be hard to skip without my magic shoes.
