It is Thursday, 10:00 p.m. and I really should be closing my eyes and going to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day… I’ll blog it tomorrow… but it is one of my favorite Rhema events.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I have a lot to say and I am not sure I will even be able to type all my thoughts… <\/div>\n
First of all, I am feeling more like myself. The happy pill is working. Thank You, God, for modern medicine, for carrying me when I couldn’t walk at all. How much I love you!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I didn’t see it, The Oprah Show today but I did read the article. http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/article\/oprahshow\/20090924-tows-stephanie-plane-crash<\/a><\/p>\n

The first thing I read was that she was a mommy blogger with a great following of her life as mother of 4 children. Immediately my thought was … “How come I can’t be a successful blogger?” I admit, jealousy flashed through me… as I continued readying… I was immediately filled with shame. Please read her story.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you are a mom that struggles with the ho-hum of everyday mommy stuff… just watch her video of fighting to do the everyday stuff for her children as much as it hurts her physically.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was struck my how she said that she had to say goodbye to herself. How many times have I wanted to say goodbye to me… and all I know? It hit me that life and the pressures that often send me over the edge are pressures I and only I <\/i>put on myself.<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have to learn that it is OK to say NO to things that will send me over the edge. Sometimes the person I have to say no to is my own child. And I have to be OK with that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tyler had a soccer tournament 45 minutes from here. I was guilting myself that I should really have gone to watch. Yet, with the Thanksgiving Dinner happening tomorrow at Rhema (OK, I told you…) I just had so much to do. My house needed attention, I had to track down table clothes, makes phone calls, and on and on it went.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I didn’t make it to the tournament. I felt really bad. Part of it was really selfish because I really didn’t want to stand in the cold rain and freeze.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was the only one feeling bad. Tyler didn’t even give it a second thought. He had a great day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I need to appreciate all that is what my life is made of. I don’t have to like it all, but I do really need to see each day as a gift… a gift I so often take forgranted. The gifts that each of my children are… despite the pain in the butts they can be too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This lady had to say goodbye to herself. Talk about counting your blessings… one by one….<\/div>\n
