Life has been a little strange the last few weeks.I fell on the bus coming home from the choir trip. Felt not right like crooked. One night I was sleeping at 10:30 and I woke to the rain coming down so hard. I had not gotten the gutters cleaned out and snapped out of bed to see if they were overflowing, yes so I hurried, (mind you sleepy) to the back door to open the garage when I slipped on water on our tile in mud room. My feet whipped out from under me and I hit the door jam with my arm and my rear on tile. Bruised like crazy. The arm part I didn't think I would be able to move the next day, didn't sleep because I hurt so bad. Yes I could work. I had so many people no show or cancel on Mon and Tues that I was very grateful to work on wed. I for sure am crooked now. I think I lifted too heavy of mulch wheel barrels and when I got done my knee was all swollen. I think it is because I am not straight. I put it up and put ice on it and today I am working fine.
My dear friend, and such sweet lady. She is one I enjoy praying with and desiring our boys to come to know God more. She blessed Mollies life by coaching her in reading, tutored her. Her name is Kathy. She will have surgery tomorrow with the same kind of brain tumor that my dad had. I talked to her and this is what she said. Such a women of faith. Now Peggy again I know that God is sovereign, I am going to do my part, the doctors theirs, and you and I know the outcome is the Lords. Wow, I love that girl. Please pray for her. She has 3 boys and a sweet husband that is going to do caring bridge for her.We joked and teased and decided I would for sure get a pic of the bad hair day.
My Fred's sisters husband has been battling cancer for a while and I would love for you to pray for them. Hard times are right now.
I have mentioned Olan and Zella, they are dear friends of Fred and Janes. She has been not feeling well for a while. This couple Jane and Fred did the mobile home with. Traveled in groups. She has cancer and is now getting set up with hospice.
My sweet client has done so great with cancer and now it is back and she is deciding what to do.
I am just sick right now. My own woes and then all this other has gotten me in a fog. I feel like I am talking and really I am just staring. A client was in today I did her daughter for prom on sat and she said are you OK, I was worried about you on sat. You just didn't seem right. Well I am not right. I am sick for Kathy and so sad for her boys. The fear that they must have.
I just couldn't stand it talking to Fred. He is so sad. We talked of how now we are so much more prepared for others hurts, and now he can encourage them while they struggle. I could just see Olan and his sad face.
I got to sit out on the porch, (another cancel) God knew what I needed. I looked around and it is so gorgeous, life keeps ticking away, nature continues on cue. I prayed for all of them and kept trying to address Samuels graduation party. Sometimes I feel like I drop the ball with him. Like tonight is the senior awards and he now has decided not to go. He is a coach for the lacrosse team and helps Brandon on Tues nights. I would probably have reminded the other guys enough so that they would have gotten replacements for work and other stuff.
I keep thinking just one more day, make it through just one more day. I hurt all over, and feel angry that right when I am strong enough and liking exercising I am struggling to get to do it. My mind then goes to oh brother Peggy boo hoo, you can't do what you want, on and on my tired brain goes. Enough, I said I would be as honest as I could and try to do that. Kathy Bingley is my friends name. Tomorrow is the surgery. Thank you for the prayers,

Today is the day to say I love you.
