I’m a Warrior…
Just thought I would do some checking in. I’m actually in a really good place now. I mean, really good lol. Luckily, we are busy trying to plan rv stuff which is a good distraction, but I am so ready, that if they called me tomorrow and said can you come in? I’d go! When the time comes for surgery, I will absolutely have some fear that day, anybody would. But I can actually smile about it now and ready for this journey. I’m sure I’ll have some ups and downs, but it’s ok. My daddy didn’t raise a wimp lol.
I have used a saying for years to keep me focused and when I face adversity, I would repeat this to myself along with looking at a picture of a lion and it never failed me. So, I am concentrating on this now and just enjoying my normal day to day things. The saying I’m speaking of is this: “The devil whispers “You can’t withstand the storm.” The warrior replied, “I AM THE STORM!” I feel good and ready and will be that storm.
So on to better things to talk about and of course, the topic of Tom and I’s conversations daily are RV things. We are so excited to get the inspection done, because once it’s given the go ahead, we are set and Tom will making a trip to Texas to pick it up! I will do what the doctor tells me I can and can’t do, but I’m planning on being in a full time spot by the first of November or closely thereafter. That will get my family back in our own little movable home. While I’m healing, I can gradually work on the inside in between rest, etc. There is a toy hauler with a patio on the one we are hoping becomes ours. We bought new lawn chairs but to be safer for me, we will set them up on the patio and the dogs will enjoy it too. It has a nice fence around it.
There is a State Park here called Pocahontas park. Sometimes I have Tom take us there and I find such peace. It’s my little bit of heaven and it puts me in a place completely I haven’t been for years. I can’t wait to feel that again with my family, in our place, and our adventures wherever the road leads.
Growing up I was a tomboy. My father and I were extremely close my entire life. He and I loved the outdoors. We were fishermen. I used to be the one to go with my grandfather, my uncle and my dad whenever I could. I loveeee to fish. We would swim in the lake, go boating, bass fishing, crappie and walleye. It was a good childhood that I was blessed with. Going back into the outdoors is like Dad is with me always. I feel him, I feel God all around us as nothing is better than God’s own creation.
For those of you that don’t know, Tom and I both love genealogy. We have found after much research that a lot of Tom’s ancestry is from Virginia. Since I have to be close to my doctor for some time, we will make day trips and find out more information, etc. Once we get that, we will add to our tree so that family can get the information. So that is definitely something to look forward too.
Well, I guess I’ve said enough tonight. I’m going to occasionally add a video but only you can turn it on if you want to listen to it. But every song will have meaning to me at the time I write. Hope you enjoy this one!
