Ok, let's be honest. This pain is turning me into a crab. I'm struggling to find things to smile about and am having mini breakdowns on a regular basis. I'm feeling a bit defeated and discouraged. Add to that the fact that today has been the most painful day I've had since my cortisone shot kicked in and it makes for emotional frailty and fast tears. This isn't easy. I am FORCING myself to find things to smile about and am hoping that by continuing to do so my mood will be lifted. So there, an honest assessment of how I'm doing. Now for the the things that make me smile.

Oh, I wish I could find my magic wand and remove your pain! And I wish I had been at book group!! What I went to wasn't even half as good.
Speaking of kids playing baby dolls....did I tell you the last time I was there Peder was busy informing me about his little cousin on the way. That little wooden baby doll was in fact the baby from Auntie Chanda's belly....and,among other things, Peder didn't think the baby would look like Auntie Chanda OR Uncle Randy, he thought the baby would look like Emmy! Little goof!
Love,
Chanda
