quote of the week...

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”

"Not being able to govern events, I govern myself."


--Michel de Montaigne

getting out of the bitter barn...

I had a rough week. Could you tell from my quote? Yeah. I'm transparent like that.


More root canals, more abscesses, more allergic reactions...same stuff, different year.


I am feeling better now! What an interesting thing it always is to me...how good it feels to feel better. How much I take waking up pain free and full of energy for granted. Whenever I am sick or in pain, I always think, "What if I always felt this way?"


I am SO glad I don't have to know. So:


3 cheers for antibiotics! (specifically, the ones that do NOT make me break out in hives)


3 cheers for Percocet, Darvocet, and all the lovely "cets"!


3 cheers for the ability to chew!


And 3 cheers for The Hubby, who held it all together while I fell apart.

"The greatest evil is physical pain."
