Keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing

"God expects you to have enough faith, determination, and trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. He expects you not simply to face the future; He expects you to embrace and shape the future-to love it, rejoice in it, and delight in your opportunities" ~Elder Jeffrey R Holland

Today I have felt how important it is for me to just keep moving, living and rejoicing. I can not dwell on what has happened. I must find out what I am to learn from this trial and move on. I am not sure what that is yet but I plan to figure it out.

Yesterday and today I have felt very tired, lightheaded, and dizzy. I was told to watch for these things and call my Dr. Well I called them and they had me go to the hospital lab and do some lab work to check my blood count. They said that it was slightly low at 35.0 and normal is 36.0 so they were not to concerned. I am to drink more fluids, eat every 2 hours and stay off my feet as much as I can. Yuck, honestly I just want to feel better so that I can keep my mind busy.

Today I am grateful for
* My sweet husband who never complains when I ask him to help me do something
* Easton and the joy that he brings me each and every day
* The ability to be able to move more and not be in pain with each movement
* To be alive
* The church leadership and their inspired talks
* The ability to stay home from work
* My friends who have had a listening ear and are always here for me (you know who you are)

These are just a few of the many things I am grateful for but it helps me remember the positive things in life right now.
