Hi, Sara,
I just read your blog today, and I love the quote. I firmly believe that
everything will work out in the end. We don't know what that end is or how
exactly we will get there, but each situation will work out. I have to tell
you that for the last couple of weeks I have been dreaming about you at
night. In the dreams you look wonderfully healthy and seem to be speaking to
a small group about your illness. You are at peace and don't seem to be in
pain. I wake up and am encouraged that you are going to be okay. I just wish
you did not have to go through so much pain now. Is there anything that you
are craving? I can so easily pop over and deliver it to you. My boys are old
enough now to be left alone for awhile so I can run over if you would like.
The summer has been very nice. We did a lot of baseball. Someone on Austin's
team informed me that he alone had 42 games this summer, so if I assume that
Drew had the same number of games, plus Jeremy's games I was at well over
100 ballgames this summer. We also squeezed in swimming a few times,
spending time on my family's farm, and cleaning out a few closets and
storage areas. The summer definitely went fast. I can't believe I begin work
on Wednesday.
Know that I think of you each day. The boys and I pray for you each night.
Take care, Sara.
Love ya!
Deb

Sara - I wouldn't write this on your blog but this sucks girlfriend. I'll
quit saying I'm sorry because I know you KNOW I am. I will be praying very
specifically for that endocrine system to ABSOLUTELY kick in. The days AND
nights can be so long and maddening when pain is front and center. I so
hope you have many "someones" who are able to massage or love on or distract
or comfort you in a very tangible way. I know you have a great support
group but let anyone who wants to help, help. No lectures. Just desperate
for you to find some relief.
LOVE to you,
Robynn

it's my privilege to worry about you, friend. :) hope jason is home soon and a little "mama relaxing and pampering" is in your immediate future. consider it a mandate from me :* ... that should carry about the same weight as saying it was "what the doctor ordered", right?

saying a few extra prayers for a good sleep for you tonight.

Probably the last thing was one of your remarkable canvases, yeah? Well, that kind of rockin' creativity should last you until you're ready again! :D I get a happy little creativity high whenever I produce a piddly little scrapbook page, so I can just imagine the kind of boost painting a canvas must give you. Good stuff! I'm giving up on the Cowboys game and going to bed, lest I blame them for a sleepless night and a cranky day tomorrow ;) Toodles!

no worries, you just heal!!!� i've gone it solo all week with the kids, and the fusing in my hips/spine is particularly inflamed this week.� trying to keep up has been a challenge, with the addition of a fever and little sleep it has left me a bit persnickety.� All is good though.� You don't concern yourself with posting, just with feeling a bit better, okay?� I will tell Elle to soak the sun for you, and make sure to document it for your viewing pleasure.� lots of hugs friend.

it didn't let me connect to the link, but i'll take your word for it... i love a good photography shot, too, whether i know the people or not.

you sound like me with the last minute scrapbooking... i can't remember the last time i worked on something, so i'll have LOTS to do when i get some energy back! don't work too hard moving your brother... since he's your "little" brother i assume you can boss him around and delegate as much as necessary :)

thanks for the hugeness of your warm heart. it's appreciated! :*

I got this in the mail today and thought of you. I know it is sometimes hard to see the good things coming when you are struggling.

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he
scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted,
he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to
protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One
day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut
in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had
happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief,
grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching
the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?"
asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they
replied.

Remember that every moment you don't give up is a victory. You are winning battles every moment of every day.

i'm sorry about your week, friend... keeping you in my prayers as always, too, and hoping whatever symptoms you're having turn around. let me know if you need anything.

i'll try to post something in my "voice" soon... just been a bit of a struggle to get it done this week.

tell eliana to enjoy the sunshine extra for me... that will make me smile more than going outside myself :*

gitz — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:08:20 -0000

gitz — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:06:17 -0000

the recharge center sounds good... although i wouldn't be opposed to trading in for an entirely new model at this point :) i'd hate to get in the "recharge" line and come out looking like Joan Rivers or something ;)

you know, my thumb is as good as new! i take a lot of folic acid to combat other symptoms and it makes my nails grow fast! :)

gitz — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:01:49 -0000

thanks, samantha. i'll try to update again in the next day or two, but thought first i'd check in on the comments. love getting to say hi to you here... hope your week was a good one.

denali — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:00:26 -0000

Yes, I'm well, thank you :) Sending extra boosts of energy your way every time I check your blog. I'm praying the fog lifts and you can reach an equilibrium soon. My words are so small, but the warmth of my heart is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE & I hope you can feel it!
You caught me at my computer checking Facebook before I go to bed :)
I hope you can see this link:
http://www.facebook.com/hom...
Such a poignant shot, you know? I love beautiful photographs anyway, but this is a baby shot and that seems all the sweeter to me. Nope, no kids of my own (and it won't happen either), so I take pleasure in the joy of others :)
'k, I'm off to bed. Must be up & at 'em in a few hours with a busy weekend helping my little brother move into a new apartment and also preparing some scrapbook pages for my Mom's birthday Monday. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minutes *blush*
Good night, Sara - sweet dreams.
Know that you are appreciated, and wished well quite fervently :)
*waving merrily*

it totally was as sarcastic as you intended...i am praying for you and loving you.� this week has been a doozy for me, but nothing like yours, i'm sure.� i think you have the paparazzi thing handled, as you currently aren't leaving the abode, but soon, someday soon, it will be a problem, lovely one.� Eliana is praying every day that you get to go outside, and her prayers go out on the redline� i love it that you just responded to me; i get concerned about you when i don't hear your "voice".� someday, someday soon, we'll need to really talk to each other.

"a short journey to well" ... your lips to God's ears, friend. :) thanks for the prayers... appreciated more than you know.

Re: Rambling…

gitz — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:54:20 -0000

hi, friend. was actually hoping to try and call you today, but totally ran out of steam. one of these days... you're at the top of my list. saw the boating photos on facebook... looks like you guys had fun!!!

Re: Rambling…

gitz — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:53:29 -0000

you are so kind, aubien. seeing you show up here is very helpful to me. appreciate you!

Re: Rambling…

gitz — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:52:25 -0000

you're too kind, d. i'm feeling soooo uninspiring these days as i haven't had the energy to get on here and write much... glad you still feel it a little by osmosis, i guess. :) hope you're well...

gitz — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:51:24 -0000

hi, back at ya! yes, we had like 4 storms roll through that day... so crazy! i didn't know candace was out in the hall; she usually knocks and comes in, but then i found out one of my other neighbors on this floor gave them beers while they waited in the hall. guess the hall party trumped us :)

hello, my Gail... you know, at about 11:20 I looked at the clock and thought of you all at St. Stephen's on Sunday. I was thinking how glad I was it was hitting while you were all still in church and had access to a basement, rather than when you would all be driving home.

Then again, I always think of all of you during the 10:30 hour on Sundays. :)

gitz — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:48:33 -0000

i love that you laughed out loud... as i was writing it i was hoping it was as silly/sarcastic as i meant it... cuz i wasn't kidding about writing it while overly medicated!!! :-P

i'll have to work on that grand story idea... i'm not sure if i could come up with a story big enough to explain the way i look these days! the puffiness of steroids has nothing on the weird effects of cushing's on an appearance. i think i'll just stay in hiding and keep the door locked until it goes away so no explanations will be necessary... 8-) let's just say there will be no paparazzi photos of me for a looooonnnngggg time!
