Journaling Reads:
The past two months seem to have disappeared into a blur of doctor's visits, MRI scans and ultrasounds. I am so used to being healthy and operating “at full speed” that it has been quite a challenge to have to slow down the pace. I like to do things for myself, and it has been difficult this week to accept that I need help. I do not make a good patient, and lately I find that I get really frustrated over the smallest little things. This week in particular has been a case of hurry up and wait. If nothing else, this journey has given me a new respect for people with chronic illnesses, and what they have to deal with on a daily basis. It is teaching me patience, and it has certainly humbled me. Hopefully the next week will bring some answers. I have been playing out all the different “what if” scenarios in my head, and worrying about what next week will bring. What I do know is this. Irrespective of what lies ahead, I cannot change it. What I do have, is control over my attitude and how I deal with it. I cannot keep worrying about the “what if’s.” While I do not know where this path will lead me, I need to trust God, and continue to let Him be my guide. If there is a bridge that lies ahead, I will cross it when I get to it.
Firstly, so sorry to read that you are unwell! I do hope that next weeks results are not as bad as you thought, and every thing will work out for you.....
{I like your attitude in the face of adversity}.
And secondly, your page documenting this is awesome too!
ohmyword, Jen... I'm so sorry that you are having health issues and so many unanswered questions. My husband had some medical issues a number of years ago. A year of questions and finally the answers were found. We cold move forward! I hope you find answers and there are solutions that are workable! Hugs! This is a beautiful page... I love the meaning and significance. Hugs. Please keep me posted if you need anything, a virtual hug, or someone to talk to. I'm here.
Beautiful and authentic journaling. Your page is gorgeous. Times of waiting and wondering are hard. You have the right attitude and chose a wonderful title which reflects it. Hugs to you....
This is a beautifully designed page and so appropriate for the topic. I totally understood your comment about always going at full speed - I also find it's not until I'm forced to slow down that I realise what it must be like for others. I hope you are getting the answers you need.
