After the Heart Attack
Life is so intersting and reading my favorite blogs makes it even more so. After reading your blogs, though, I get to feeling bad, since I haven't posted for a coon's age (Hey, I wonder what a coon's age is anyway. Do racoons live a long time? If any of you blogreaders out there know about this, please enlighten us ignorant ones).
Anyway, I Have been BUSY (as usual) and couldn't get online. I know what you're thinking..."excuse, excuse, excuse". Well, my husband DID have a HEART ATTACK! And I am facing financial ruin, ha, such is life. BUT, I know that things will get better. So, really, in all reality, I must honestly say Praise God! Yep, I will do the Joylady bit again and say that I know this is for the best.
I have to admit, that God has never failed me. He has always brought me through the difficult times. He has always blessed me and my loved ones in the end. It just works out for the better. Sometimes the better means I learn what I did wrong, so that I never do that dumb thing again, but it DOES make me wiser, happier, and often even better off in physical tangible ways, too. So, I won't despair, cause I know HE is there.
I'm happy that Joe is still alive. He really is a sweetheart. I am happy, too, that I and my kids, too, will get to be with him more. If you read his blog - Driving Me Crazy On 18 Wheels - you will see how he is all over the country, but not at home very often.
He has been in the hospital since Monday and today is Friday. I am hoping he will call any minute to say "come get me, hon, they are letting me out of the hospital". Then, it will be a new beginning for us. A bit scarey, because of the uncertainty. It will definitely be a faithwalk.
I want you all to know, though, that I also am very very happy and thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life. I love how you show your love for me and my loved ones. All of you my sweet family and friends have been super encouraging and your prayers have saved Joe's life. I know your prayers will also get us through the difficult financial dilemma, and I thank you for that, too. You are all so wonderful! You make life wonderful. We are so blessed to have your love! Thank you.

"A COON'S AGE - Meaning 'a very long time,' a coon's age is an Americanism recorded in 1843 and probably related to the old English expression 'in a crow's age,' meaning the same. The American term is an improvement, if only because the raccoon usually lives longer -- up to 13 years in the wild - than the crow." From the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997), Page 168.
We love you too mom.
Cool, Loxy. Thanks.
