Day by Day

As I was thinking of a title for today, I thought of just "Day by Day", because my life isn't very interesting now, but then it reminded me of the Godspell song from a long ago. We sang it in Highschool choir. I'm adding the chorus, which is an excellent reminder for me to keep praying every day!

The chorus:

"Day by day
Oh dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly" 💗

I'm struggling to know what to write. I feel my life is pretty boring these days, and my recovery continues to be up and down... And I'm still hoping and praying for more good days than bad.

Saturday was a special day with Ben, Noah, Kira, and Luke coming for pizza night, but also with a goal to help out around here! What a blessing! I, unfortunately, was having a bad pain afternoon/evening, but they made sure I sat and rested, and not help them. I am so blessed. I need to remember that through the hard pain times.

Sunday was a day with more mild to moderate pain. I was so encouraged... However, Sunday night I hardly slept and felt very agitated! This is a sign of reducing the medication, as is weepiness, which I definitely am fighting as well!! Saturday night I almost decided not to go to church because I was crying so easily and I knew my sweet friends could bring it on. I decided that wasn't a good reason, and I'd just see how my pain was. I did go, and, yes, some sweet friends saw my tears, as I tried to explain it was the side effect of reducing a medication I'd taken for over a month. Besides Sunday, most days I've had at least half a day really cringing in pain. Lately, I have only been using the strongest medicine at night, but perhaps at a cost. I just hate the fuzzy feeling I get on it!

Please continue to share any of your prayer requests. I do have time for that!
