On a time out for a week...



I've got some challenges to be dealing with for the rest of this week.  My sister is in the hospital for the second time in just a short while and things don't look good.  Testing is happening - she's had a bacterial lung infection - but it's possible there may be a lot more to it.  Could I request that if you are a praying person, please add her to your list? 

The company my husband works for is being bought out by a competitor and his job situation is murky right now.  The possibility of a job change for him is not completely horrible, but there are lots of decisions to make regarding what would come next for us.

And, I've been in a very blue place the last couple of weeks.  Think it's probably a combo of stress, the time of year, and likely some hormonal issues.  I'm working on keeping positive and using some exercise as a mood lifter.  I'm also pulling out some of the suggestions that a counselor gave me when my folks were both so ill.

I'll be back by next Wednesday when I'm going to be featured on Cathy's blog, Kittling: Books in her weekly event, Scene of the Blog.

  8. Dear Kay,
    As my English husband says, "You have a lot on your plate" just now. Please know that I will be praying for your sister and for you. Also, hoping the best for your husband.
    Would you be able to tell us your sister's first name?

  10. Kay, I'll send a prayer your way for your sister and for you. It is difficult when so many changes happen at once. I find walking to be restorative when I'm blue.
