Thankful Thursday

A Problem with my Mammogram... it was as I thought, a benign cyst.

It measured 2+ by 1 inch. I may need to have it aspirated. It was, last year, 4 smaller cysts and they all merged. Now it is my hope that I can just stay home a while. I have to go to consult about changing my medications.s however. I have gained a tremendous amount of weight (20 pounds in a couple of months) on this drug and I just cant afford it on my knee. I do hope I have no withdrawal to go through.

I went and got snacks for the children and had them all unload the truck when I got home. Wow talk about great incentive! :) I have an extra kid today. I will have on Thursday's to help out a single Mom. So blogging has fallen off due to other things pulling on me. This is a child who feels at home. Mother of many...I am.

I had two new squash blossoms in the garden this morning and I told Dash we should look into getting a garden snake. We have a lot of crickets. I have witnessed a few other insects and the lizard population is growing. We need these good insects to pollinate. Dash said " Mom , I just love nature it is so beautiful to watch"... I have succeeded in opening his eyes to it YA!

Kids are watching Nim's Island, a movie about adventure and fiction verses reality and courage overcomes timidity. Good Movie.They are happy peaceful. Full tummies. Soon to do the homework. How rich they are to be here in America, here in this home with a Mother attending to them.

I resisted temptation to over eat sweets today twice., It may not sound like much , but for me this was a huge start. ..."so you want to change ...Do you really want to change?" Asked HE ...softly tenderly. I left the store purchasing nothing. I passed up the Taco Bell and drove to the store for healthy snacks and lunch. I ate a healthy late lunch and a healthy smack.

I heard a scripture that said that God sings songs over us. It really touched my heart because many times it will be a lyric of a song that will give me the need strength or comfort for the moment. Gave me pause thinking about it. Makes me want to sing right back to him...

Did I ever tell you your my hero?
Everything I wish I could be...
I could fly higher than an eagle...
Because you (God) are the wind beneath my wings.
Everything to me.
