When Feeling Miserable

Diagnosed today with a head filled and an ear infected, I was planning to do more, but I think a list is what is in order. . .

::a dog without a limp (fixed or not we don't know but healing for sure)::

::a girl working to get those books in order::

::hiccupping all the way::

::his prayers only God can make sense of::

::swallowing tea::

::the pharmacy technician who remembers names (and isn't the same as the one who talks with little boys about balls)::

::restraint when all I want is to shout Be quiet!::

::remembering that they will only be little once::

::thinking that maybe the snow will herald a winter freeze that will kill the bugs surviving::

::the song to help her practice::

165-174

Regardless of the time or the misery, rejoice. Sometimes it moves you to do something you don't feel like doing, but something that definitely needs to be done.
