She Believed She Could

"She believed she could, but she was really tired so she didn't."

 This shirt really fits me right now.  I have both A and B flu.  My mind is active but my body is tired.  David has me back here in the bedroom so I can rest but my mind wants to get things done!  

 But before the sickness hit, I was able to see these girls!  I literally felt the first signs of my body aching just after I left the get together that we had.  They always make me feel so good, so maybe that is why I didn't feel sick when I was with them.

After saying goodbye to my friends, I met another one at a restaurant for dinner.  We wanted to say goodbye before I had to move.  Saying goodbye. to friends that have been in my life for years and a friend who was more recent, can be hard.  But no tears were shed as I just enjoyed them all.

I'm tired but my mind is active as I recall the blessings of friendship while we have been living here in Oklahoma.  I'm reminded of how much the Lord loves me because he sent me my friends in my darkest hours during the past year.  I hope that in the future, I look at these friends and remember just that.
