I just didn't want to leave that last post up on the top of my blog. And I am feeling better. I think God helped me to quit feeling sorry for myself tonight by showing me the tragedy of others. While hopping from blog to blog I found myself reading tragic story after tragic story. Like, really tragic. I don't think this was a coincidence. So I was reminded not only of how much worse it could be, but of how so many people in horrible situations are able to live with their suffering. I can't let it bring me down, even if for only a couple days a month. I also think I often feel better when I am praying for others, instead of wallowing in my own sadness.
So let's hope I can sustain this improved attitude. If it's due to hormones, then that should be easy because they should be shifting around very soon. And this month should be a good one.. I've got my doctor's appointment and hormone series test results, and then there's my sister-in-laws wedding and a visit to my parents' house. Hopefully there will be more weight loss too. But I am not going to dwell on that! I promise. Or at least I'll try not to...
I'm glad you're feeling a little better. I just wanted to share with you that when I start feeling all kinds of despair and hopelessness I try to determine where it is coming from. Usually I feel like it is the devil trying to pull me away from trusting God. In those cases the prayer to St. Michael is the best prayer ever! I can't tell you how many times St. Michael has helped/saved me! There was a period of about 6 weeks recently where I felt like the devil was attacking me during the night, every night, even in my dreams. St. Michael was literally a God-send. I highly encourage you to pray to your guardian angel and to St. Michael to help you during times of internal struggle.
ReplyDeleteI just read all your posts over the last few days. I am sorry there have been some difficult times for you. If it makes you feel any better, I am right there with ya.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I will be praying for us both especially hard and often this cycle. I think we both really need it.
