Well, my last blog said that I think we are done with the flu.  I spoke too soon.  We finished the stomach flu only to transition into the resperitory flu.  This week we have all been caughing and running fevers.  On the bright side.  I would much rather have this kind of flu than the stomach flu.  I absolutly hate to throw up. 

After being sick in January and February, I am hoping that march is the month of no sickness.  I am tired of dealing with sickness.

I am looking forward to spring.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to deal with depression every winter.  This winter has been a doozy.  I don't know what it is about spring though.  I could be so depressed, and then spring comes and it is like a breath of fresh air to my soul.  It is like walking through the dark valley, and coming out into the light with everthing living and growing and blooming.  I am telling myself, just hold out until the spring.  Praise the Lord, nothing lasts forever.  Sometimes our soul goes through winter times, but I just have to remember, that spring always comes.

Thank you Lord for giving me the streangth to carry on.  Thank you Lord that in the dark times you always plant some hope in our hearts.

I also want to say thank you to my friend at "falling like rain" for her wonderful words of encouragement.  I know I am not alone, but sometimes it is easy to start feeling that way.  It is always good to be riminded of others who have been were I am and have made it through.
