Journey of life

I have many thoughts this morning as I prepare for another challenge in life (my 5th surgery).  My first thought is I am happy my youngest daughter is not here (she is on a field trip to Washington.  My second thought is I am bless to be able to have some kinda of oomph left in my to continue my fight in my journey.  I think at times my thorn in my side is more like a branch but I am sure we all feel like that at times.  In it all I am truly bless.
