Mrs. Wood was either "crabbie" or "crappie" today....or both......I think the cough, phloem, hoarseness and belching have gotten a grip on her.....the good news is she got a hold of the pulmonologist and he is meeting with her Friday morning to assess things. He is thinking something else such as an infection is taking place.....we shall see.....she is on antibiotics just in case.
Mrs. Wood has new tires on her car today....she should be very happy about that (what do you mean that's a "guy" thing?).
Tomorrow we start packing...of course one doesn't need much in sunny Florida....
A thoughtful piece from the guest speaker at the Defeat Cancer dinner the other night (a takeoff on diet and cancer but I think this can be applied to everyday life):
Recipe For Success (In Life):
1. Behavior based goal setting....
2. Power of positive thinking....
3. Embrace self love....
4. Step by step by step....
Singer Stephen Gately, a member of the Irish band Boyzone, died sadly the other day......I always loved the Boyzone song "No Matter What"...I was never sure exactly what it all meant but it impacted me......the lyrics:
Boyszone No Matter What
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know our love forever
I know, no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What we believe is true
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

Everyone has a right to be crabbie and or crappie once a year...good thing you got this years in before 2010 rolls around and then you'd loose it...I am told they cannot accumulate.
Florida will be a great change of pace for you, but I will miss seeing you. Have a great time and a wonderful trip. If I don't see you before you go.
I'm hanging around tomorrow just in case you guys come by.

Hope the antibiotics kicks in and you start to feel better soon, Linda. Packing for Florida should help. :) Think sunny thoughts... (that's what I need to do today as it's just yucky.)
Have a safe and uneventful trip...
Love,
Jim and Swee
Hard to believe crabbie or crappie could ever be used to describe Linda...not in my book. But whatever the case may be, Florida weather will certainly help. It's been a little hot...but suppose to turn to pleasantly warm on Friday. Can't wait to see you both.
Love

Dave, it's not Linda who is crabbie/crappie, it's those bugs inside her. They are aliens that take over our bodies. The cure is to fly them to a warm, sunny climate where the sun will make them shrivel up and die. Believe that one? Oh well, I tried. Thinking of yoo as I sit in very cold and gray Chicagoland, dreaming of a CURE for us, too.

No Matter What, is a saying that is said around the recovery circle that I am involved in and have been for multiple yrs. So it has a different significants to me. But What it means to me is, I am never alone. I have a family, that loves me now matter what. That we might not be physically linked, but we are linked. We all come with our differences, but we all come with our inner strenghthes and at different levels and degrees. These things are that we share unconditionlly to help those just beginning their journey, What ever that might be. I am home. And there has been a out pouring of love from all over. This is my family. And I appreciate and Thank You all for your prayers and thoughts for my family and friends. I can tell all I am scared. But not for me. I am at peace, I think. But I fear for those that watch for me. And look for my que's. Act as if. Sometimes I do. Love Ya All, I have a grandbabies to get off to school. Back to basics for awhile. These are the reasons I want to live.

D, those lyrics remind me A LOT of what I'm studying right now -- that what I focus on is what I'll find in my life. And that what I believe -- about everything -- makes such a HUGE difference in what my life/reality is. And that a belief is just a thought -- a chronic though.
L, crab away. Don't tamp down those feelings. Just know that these, too, shall pass. Kinda like, when you're going through hell, don't stop to sight-see, eh? Just keep going.
ahhhh, packing for FLA. NOW I'm jealous. I'm sitting here outside DC, and it's rainy and grey and it's unusually cold today and will be through next Monday. And I don't like cold. Nor grey. Ah, but this, too, shall pass. (I do so get annoyed when my own words come back to bite me in the butt. :-D )
Wrapping you both in the powerful soothing golden glow of healing warmth and love and peace.

I love that song. It speaks to the Law of Attraction, how we create our own reality, and to the marriage Julianne and I are creating.
Sorry to lose Stephen Gately -- a loss to our world, and another reminder that life is short and we need to treasure each day.
So glad you're coming on the cruise. We'll see you on board!
