Time is moving by so fast. Life happens, we push through or at least we try. Some days are harder then others. "Breathe out and in again, know that life is hard but its worth the breathing..." I sing this to myself almost every day. (RSB, thank you! ) I know its been 2 months since I sat down and actually finished a blog, :), Life. In a blink of an eye everything changes.
March 29 John came by the school to tell me he had been laid off from his job. Life, scary situation. I was told later that week that the full time position I had been promised in January and been waiting on being able to fill would not start until this fall. Life, big disappointment. On my nieces 2nd birthday John was doing some work at home and a staple went through his eye, we spent 5 days in UT hospital 1 emergency surgery and another to correct damage and NO insurance. Life, devastating.
My dear friend Jules told me to look for the "blessing in the curse". Blessing in the curse! Shes crazy right? Where is the Blessing in John losing his job or having a staple go through his eye or my Job being cut because of budgets or whatever? So I thought about it. John being home has allowed he and I to somewhat mend our relationship and he and our son have been able to form a bond that had been broken for a while. Blessing! :) Though the staple pierced Johns cornea, iris, pupil and lens and the damage appeared to have caused him to be blind in his right eye, Dr Harris and the "Eye Team" that was flown in were able to save his eye and restore his vision. BLESSING! :) While John was in the hospital we were able to meet some really great people. Dr Harris was wonderful and even though we have no insurance the hospital has worked with us, helped us get the medicine that John needed and even paid for Cobra so that he would only need to pay a percentage of his stay in the hospital, Blessing! :) So maybe there is a silver lining. Try Jules' advice, find your blessing in your curse or your situation.
I did and I realized I am BLESSED.
