Strength

Someone sent this piece of wisdom: "It is from the struggle, not the victory, that we gain strength." And here I was, wishing my struggles to go away, at least for a little while. I need, instead, to focus on the strength I can gain from continuing to struggle. I'd like to be able to report that the yuckiness and tiredness vanished after the last Hexalen pill, but they didn't. So I need to continue to make simple plans for my day. A dear musician friend is coming to see me this morning.

It's such a privilege to be here with the grandchildren. Tomorrow evening, both their parents will return--Karin from her law school final exams, and Keith from Boston. We'll have Saturday together, and then on Sunday we'll be heading home.

Blessings for your day,
Carol
