Tonight, I caught up on many of your posts and re-read some of my own. It's encouraging to read about your lives and the way you press on through struggles of your own and those of loved ones, praying and just living life one day at a time, one step at a time.
As I read over my past posts I'm reminded of all the posts that used to exist and were deleted, I'm reminded of my past struggles, most of them personal and some published here. I remember the nights of crying and agony I endured while I struggled, the patience I did not have, the many virtues I lacked. I am reminded that many of you have had your own struggles and have probably felt the same way over different issues, many probably much more devastasting than those of my mind. And I am happy to read and see you and your loved ones come through these trials in your life. I rejoice to see joy in your world again and am happy to report joy in mine.
I realize the above sounds like a bunch of rambling. I just want to let it be known for those of you who knew of my struggles, that I finally feel peace. I finally feel content in my life as it is right now. There are many more things I must work on (always patience and many other virtues), but as I look back over my life and the last several years, I'd like to believe that I've allowed the last few months to change me for the better. It may not be the least bit noticeable to others...but I definitely feel it.
I have a long way to go yet, but I believe I'm finally headed in the right direction. |

"Sometimes, if a relationship doesn't move forward, it withers away."
---
The above is a "Quote" from tv series CSI. How true this statement is. Not only in personal relationships with others but in our relationship with HIM.

Mom and I are heading up to Wichita Falls to see Dan this weekend. We'll leave just as soon as she gets her things packed and get it all in the car. She had to work a half day, so we're getting a late start.
We get to see Dan for 4 hours both Saturday and Sunday, so we are very excited! It's been almost 1 yr since we last got to see him for such a long visit and about 6 months since I last saw him. He doesn't write much, so it's hard to imagine how he is doing.
I've been online searching for things to do. If we get going in the morning and visit him first thing, then Mom and I can have all afternoon to explore Wichita Falls. I found a place where we can go rafting/canoeing! So, that would be really fun! Sunday morning we'll try again to see him first thing then start the long 7.5 hour trek back home.
Mom's got another bad headache coming on already, so hopefully we can knock it out with meds and food before it progresses. She's been out a few days already for these headaches this week.
Please pray for our safety and Mom's health so this trip will be a pleasure all around and not more stress on her. We all know how stressful trips can be alone without feeling bad on top of it!
Safe travels and happy weekend to you all! |

not really sure how I came upon it, but it was pretty funny. Instead of just getting an
"ERROR: page does not exist"
I received a whole message about how I wanted to get to that page that doesn't exist, so there I am...at a page that doesn't really exist. If I get there again, I'll try to copy and paste the message here.
It made me smile. |

My family did make it through the storm safely. I hope to hear good updates from all my friends in Galveston and the surrounding areas of good news when they get back home!
Took my exam for the second time this past Thursday and found out Saturday I passed the NCLEX! The first time I was close but no certification. This time:
"Hello, my name is Courtney and I will be your nurse this evening."
:D
