Sickness

I tried to start doing something I don't normally do. Appreciate the moments when everything is O.K. I started doing this a few months ago. Taking a moment, a breath, when times are going just as they should. When I am neither up a hill, nor in a valley. Just to appreciate and be thankful that right at that moment, things are good. Doing that has helped me get through the past few weeks, and it will help on the next few weeks coming up. Recently, my littlest got sicker than she's been in 8 months. William has been running a fever for 2 days around 104.8. My immediate family had a hard diagnosis recently, and myself, well, I have a cyst on my Thyroid that needs to be taken care of. It was found last Saturday and after 8 hours in the ER, they've said I have to go to a ENT specialist and have a tiny little needle put in my neck to get the fluid in it biopsied. I am pretty sure they'll have to remove it, as it's about 2 inches in size, and affecting my ability to swallow, breath, cough, laugh etc..... I'm not terribly excited about this, and actually a bit freaked out. So for now, I think back to those moments, those times when things were good, to give me strength to get through this next bit, because it will be that way again soon.

I hope.
