I, of course, made up this name for my current reality, but I think it fits! I feel bad for feeling sorry for myself really, but I have been in a "funk" as seems fit to call it. Being sick to my stomach most of the day has gotten me thoroughly annoyed. Yes, I know it could be worse, and tell myself this all the time...I know I am very blessed and I am so thankful for all that I have and for my health past this small (I am hopeful) space of time for which I have all-day sickness:P Just like other times when I am sick with viruses or colds, I find that during the duration of time while I am not feeling well, I am thinking of brighter days...days when I have felt better, been energetic, fun, with lots of laughter...I hope for these days to come, sometimes faster than they actually do. I believe this is all part of the plan, though. Everyone's trials are different, but through them all we are supposed to learn. Some things you just can't learn except through experience. This Sunday at church, a man from the stake came, and that was his message, and it spoke to me. Of course the message was for everyone, but Heavenly Father was speaking to me individually and I felt it. I did hear the still small voice loud and clear. Life and how everything connects together is amazing. Just like the speaker said that he wasn't going to say particularly what we wanted to hear, he was going to say the truth. Our experience is for our own good. Yes, that means I too must endure...but hopefully in 6 months or so I'll end up with another sweet baby and my now "funk" will turn to spunk!
Lately the simple things in life have been so much sweeter.
*a cool breeze*
*a nice country song that takes me back*
*a beautiful starry night*
*snuggling with Mallorie*
*holding a cuddly husband*
*nice warm baths with sweet-smelling bath soak*
*my mom cooking for me and washing the dishes*
and many many more...
Maybe that's my lesson for now...
