Your DYing Spouse 180 - Sheesh

Almost missed today's post, which would have been kind of a first, as I don't like not to meet a goal. And my goal here is to be consistent.

However...two abscessed teeth and the related damage to vision in my left eye (hope it comes back!) put writing pretty far down the priority list.

But not all the way, because in spite of a new chapter of pain, and having to re-learn depth perception on the fly (my left eye is covered by a homemade and hokey-looking patch)...there's good here, and that good is found in God's grace.

It's found in the fact that for whatever reason, I really don't resent this. It's not that I'm a particularly good person, and I can have a truly nasty temper (wanna play golf with me? I thought not). But the 'resentment gene', or whatever it is, just isn't there. It's really OK.

Prefer not to have it, sure. But that's not what's happening. So...it's OK.

The other part of the grace is found in Sylvia, who has been sitting up with me through some long nights. She would much rather go sleep in the bathtub (yes, she does), but duty has called and she is less than six inches away.

Life's good. period.

If you have a mment, I'd like to ask you to visit Change.org to consider a petition to free a 'death row dog' who has been separated from his family for ten months over a misunderstanding. Marley was saved from Afghanistan by a US serviceman; please help make sure this story doesn't end in needless tragedy! Marley's gotten a lot of support...but he still needs our help.

If you can, please do leave a comment. I am trying to answer all, and I am failing, but please know this - I read and treasure each one.

Below are my recent releases on Kindle -please excuse their presence in the body of the blog. I haven't the energy to get them up as 'buttons' in the sidebar. You can click on the covers to go to the Amazon links.
