HARD TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO!!

For those of you who have ever had to be on long-term steroid use, you will understand what I am going through right now. I have been on high dose steroids for almost 12 years! I was supposed to be on steroids for 3 weeks but I have never been able to come off of them. I have severe difficulty breathing when I try to decrease. I am in the process of trying to lower the dosage once again - and once again I am getting weaker. So frustrating! The drugs help keep me going and alive yet the side-effects are killing me, too! Don't know what to do - except trust the doctors and God to get me through this!!

It is a beautiful day outside and I will try to enjoy the day and not focus on my health! So hard sometimes!

BRRR!! IT'S COLD OUTSIDE BUT WARM IN MY HEART!!

It is finally getting cold here! We seemed to have just skipped a season and gone straight to winter. It is 37 degrees outside this morning and I have to go out! I am going to the thrift store to work today. I will be there all day, which is hard for me, but I am glad I can do it. My health seems to be doing a little better right now and I pray it continues. I am truly blessed by what God has done in my life - making friends, starting to be a little more active, going to a new bible study group for singles on Friday - things are looking up! And my daughter seems really happy, too! She is going back to work today and I think she is really excited about it - and it sure does help financially! God has truly blessed us both!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY!

Yesterday was my little girl's birthday! She was 21! Not so little! Where did the time go?? I am so grateful that I was here to celebrate with her! We had a great dinner together and we are really going to celebrate this weekend. I am so grateful to God that He blessed me with her 21 years ago! She is truly a blessing in my life!
