Wishing my friend Karen the best today..second back surgery..a better day..with my daughter having drama in her life and having to share it with me takes my focus off self and places it somewhere else... interesting..also a day to do and be since Rich had tax school all day...never without things to do...shop till you drop...new shoes...new vera bag...disappointment at Doctors..have not gotten OK from ins for referral to have Cat Scan done before surgery...oh well..oh well..can't do anything about it.."GIVE IT UP'...love knowing that REL is continuing with weekly prayer group...can;t even think about how much I will miss this child...and yet wish her and Reid a journey filled with Love & Laughter...so another closer to family reunion...Yippe e e e :)

up early..couldn't sleep..attended church with Rich..love to hear him belt out those songs...trying to organize menus for family's arrivall..without cooking..so that means all prepared menu...actually should be simple...counting on daughters to pick up kitchen duty...but most likely it will be Rich...we'll see..i really am going to try hard to step BACK and let them all fend for themselves...looks like weather is going to be in our favor so we can spend time outside..dbl wide mobile home will be packed for 2 days with 9 of us...so off to park and pool with boys...fun...

It's a great day..Richard's 70th B-Day..began with a refreshing cleaning...literrally inside and out.. words to live by "GIVE IT UP"...there is truly much more to my journey than I think I am directing..so many times my journey has been blessed beyond all exspectations... But only when I have been willing to "GIVE IT UP!"... has it brought comfort and joy in knowing that when I "GIVE IT UP" all is well and in divine order..so I wish to hold to this TRUTH for myself and for all that I LOVE :)
