Beautiful rain....

Last night it rained again and boy do we need it in Southern California. My garden is thriving but I wish I had replanted tomatoes. My plants are over a year old and they are really looking old and tired.

It has been almost a week of taking half doeses of synthroid and I have felt the best and most "normal" this week than I have in a very long time. I really can't wait to get back to my moutnain biking again but I am still taking it a bit slow to make sure I have the strength and stamina I need to make it around the lakes again first. I would love to be able to do my 20 miles like I used to before I had my son. Or for us to go as a family in the canyons. That would really be sweet. Sam and I used to ride when we were dating. I can remember going to Laguna and I would call it the Disneyland ride since you rode up hill gradually for a long time but the downhill was like 5 mins of winding and it was a a blast and so worth it! I bet he remembers where it was too. I have no clue - I was following him!

I am a bit anxious about my full body scan on Monday as I fear them finding something they do not expect. But I know it is only Satan playing with my doubts and human-ness and so I will not allow myslef to go there. I won't let him rob my peace or joy. I just remember that nothing surprises the Lord, this is in the plan and I am on the journey wherever it takes me.

I woke up again around 2 am this morning but what was different is I felt fully refreshed. I was always a sleeper and needed 8-10 hours of sleep, sometimes more. Lately I am very perky and only seem to need around 6 hours sometimes even 4 hours works great. What a concept - very strange. (It has allowed me to realized that someone in our neighborhood vaccuums their home at 2 am every morning too!) But I love the peace and quiet that early in the morning. It is so surrene and also dark.  Great for prayer and bible study time. So that has been sweet too. It is a wonderful way to start a morning not rushed and refreshed! And not even hungry! What a concept for me. I really like this new me!

My friend who is a radiologist told me that PET scans are truly beautiful with lots of colors so I am looking forward to seeing what colors I am! I wonder if I can get a copy to take home? :-) It sounds like it would be fun to frame!

Today I lift up my friends son's in the hospital for healing, those with cancer for healing, and strength and peace for those dealing with other issues. God knows where you are and what you are going through and He is in control of it all. Thank you God!

Well I will get on with my morning - lots to do and time to do it! Hurray!

Love and greatfulness to all of you in my life sharing the journey with me. Have a wonderful day!
