Note: David's post will be up later today. It is nearly 11am and we are STILL waiting for his morning meds that should have been given around 9am. I've been to the nurse's station several times and they've paged her, but still no one comes. Please be sure to check for his post later.
The
fill-ins:
1. On New Year’s Eve, I ______________.
2. One goal I have for 2018 is _______.
3. In 2017, I accomplished ___________.
4. I _________________________ in 2017.
My
responses:
On New Year’s Eve, I will likely be very frustrated because 1. We
are still in the blasted hospital and 2. Because the hospital’s firewall won’t
let us do anything remotely fun, besides making my our blog posts, which means
we likely will not be able to catch the live stream of the ball dropping on
Times Square. Though we live here in Texas, we are from South Carolina, so we
ring in the new year on East Coast time.
One goal I have for 2018 is to stay out of the hospital. But, if
David’s pattern continues its cycle, we will be here again before 2018 closes.
Here’s to breaking cycles!
In 2017, I accomplished the reading of several books, growing great
relationships with various publicists, and increasing our library to a level
that would make Thomas Jefferson proud.
I started a cake decorating blog and YouTube channel in 2017
that apparently isn’t meant to be. Every time I try to start something,
something comes along to throw it off course. So, the message I am getting is
that I am not supposed to even bother trying anymore. I know some of you will see this as a
negative attitude, but it is me being real with *my* feelings. It isn’t a matter of faith, as some will
likely toss out to me. I have faith in
Heavenly Father enough to know that sometimes the answer is “No” when it comes
to things we want to do, that seem like a good idea at the time. In my younger
days, I would have kept fighting. It is
increasingly difficult to tell when I am supposed to punch my way through something
or when the answer is absolutely “no”. I just don’t have that youthful fight in
me anymore. My energy is all going to survival mode these days. Hopefully, something will happen in 2018 to
revive it.

Thank you for participating in the fill-ins. I don't see that as negative after all you have been through over the past year. I hope you both have a much better 2018. XO
ReplyDeleteThat you, Ellen. You are a sweet friend. Have a blessed weekend and a Happy New Year.
DeleteThat should say, "Thank you, Ellen." Trying to respond to the comments from my blog was a major eye test and auto correct didn't make matters any easier. :)
