Into October....

We are heading into our 4th week in our new home.  A month has almost passed already!!! Seems only yesterday that we had moved in.  I absolutely love our new place.  Feeling absolutely blessed.  But in the same token I have been concerned a bit about my health.  I have started taking pain killers again.  Now that we're settled I am consciously forcing myself to rest.

It is really easy to forget about the important things in life.  We take for granted the bodies that we have been given and we feed ourselves with junk food and do little to no exercise.  My girls are still very young and yet with this illness I am counting down my days.  I am trying to   focus on renewing my body and my mind.  It is going to take a while but I'll take things a day at a time.

I had visited the specialist recently and now have an open door to see him whenever I have any concerns.  Now that things are a little quieter I'm feeling a little better.  My right hand was infected recently from the detergents that I use to clean the house etc.  It swelled to quite a size and was quite sore and throbbing.  Since falling ill my immune system is so low that it takes me twice as long to come right.  But again, I will take things a day at a time.

We will be going away for a week, which will be our first family trip in a long time.  Just the four of us.  I think it will be good for us to be away from everything.  I am looking forward to it.

My life at the moment is about rebuilding myself.  I cannot allow this illness to hold me back from doing things for myself, my family, and serving God.
