The unexpected journey continues ... and it is a much longer path than I expected or I wanted. I have now been out of the hospital 2 months and I have just begun my second round of antibiotics since I got out of the hospital.
I have to admit that when I began coughing this time ... I was discouraged. I was so hopeful that the changes in monitoring and in medication would keep me away from this endless round of infections. But I guess what it did do was catch it early before I got very, very sick. And that is an improvement that I am thankful for.
So what to do when discouragement creeps up on me? That is a very good question, because I absolutely do not want to be in this place for very long. I think it will be a matter of focus. Am I only going to focus on what is wrong in my life? Or am I willing to take an honest look at the many things that are right in my life?
That sounds so easy but yet to put into practice it seems so hard. However, I am making the choice to focus on God's blessings and the many good things in my life. I will not let my circumstances define who I am or to choose my attitude.
I am expecting good things ..... God loves me and this journey has much to teach me.
