deep breath

it feels like a monday, since we just got back from grandma & papa's house and i am jumping into a day full of to-do's. my head is full of ideas and projects and deadlines and my heart is full of thoughts and prayers for my sweet friend cara who was just diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. pray for her, her husband and her two little girls--the youngest just one month old.
there is beauty in the everyday and joy in the suffering. deep breath.
tomorrow's tuesday, right?

I will be praying for your friend. Pray for my friend Vicky who just got a similar diagnosis... not easy but there is comfort in God and the love of family and friends.

Your post is very sweet. It reminds me of a quote by Plato --"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle". You just inspired me for my next post.

I defiantly will be praying for your friend Cara. God is amazing, healing and powerful God... may His breath blow over her family and body, that they will find peace and pure bliss in the midst of this pain. Please pass on to her an amazing hospital to check out... Sanoviv.com, they have helped so many people close to me fighting a similar battle!

I love the new picture... so sweet and calming. I wish it was going on Tuesday too... so much still to do! May God bring you strength and energy, that everything you touch abound into greatness and completion with little effort!

Much Love and HUGE Blessings!
