Lately I have been working too much.My knee hurts as well as my shoulder and of course my energy level is down.Times like this cause one to feel their age.Yes ,I was having a pity party Then I get the call-a friend I order braces from calls me after I text him a small order-from the hospital in Houston where two days ago he had his spleen removed. He sounded good and full of energy-way more energy than I had.Did I mention this is his third round of cancer that has spread to his lungs and liver?I told him how he lifted me up with his attitude and that he meant a lot to me and I would be lifting him up each day.I also told him that we can't wait to express messages that come straight from the heart.After hanging up I felt different.All of a sudden my very minor aches and pains were nothing.At the present time there is no craziness going on in our family.Nothing but gratitude for the Man upstairs.We are all, for the most part blessed beyond measure.So stuff happens and very often happens to very good people.We have to stay positive and it never hurts to get a call from a friend sometimes.
