So Glad It's a New Week

Last week was a week from hell. I am so glad its a new week. I have been so sick with tracheaitis (if you haven't had this nasty, don't ever wish it) and then along came a terrific tummy virus and this was after Will woke up one morning with a rash covering his upper body-still don't know what that was all about, he's allergic to life. And on top of all that, I ended up at the doctors office Saturday morning only to find out that the pain I was experiencing in my neck for which I thought was related and was told was related to my tracheaitis is really a compressed disc in my upper spine and that I needed to be hospitalized. I was like NO NO NO, too much going on to do that. So the doctor relented and sent me home with pain patches and informed me that I had to be seen by a specialist this morning. Oh goody and they are going to probably want to put me in the hospital. I don't think so, no one is going to be messing with my spine. Just keep me doped up until it feels better and we will all be happy. So I'm really glad its a new week and hopefully I will be better and I can enjoy this nice weather.

My Thoughts on My Life

Have you ever stopped and thought about where the years have gone, what you have accomplished in your life, what is still to come? I have been thinking alot of this lately. I am almost 43 years old, and I really feel that I am missing something major in my life. Yes, I have an absolutely amazing husband and two children, a family who loves me very much and a career I love, but there is something missing. I have thought alot of this lately, and I know what is missing is me accomplishing something amazing with what God has given me and that is my ability to relate to children, to teach them, to assist in their success in life and I don't mean here, I am thinking somewhere like Africa or Pakistan. I want to know that when I'm gone, that I leave something more to this world. I want to know that my life means something, that I took my abilities and brought something amazing to someone. I have just really been battling this for sometime, and time is slowly slipping away, so I have to do something. I recently read a book, "Three Cups of Tea" written by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. The book is written about Greg Mortenson and how he built schools in the Middle East. Reading that book, really got me to thinking about actually going there to teach for a few months. I have been giving it some serious thought and have even talked with my family about it. I still don't know what I am going to do, but I do know that I need to do something where I feel I'm being of service somewhere. I need to know that my life counted for something.
