Love House! But not always. Sometimes he’s down right obnoxious, yet smart and refreshingly honest:) Well, it’s Friday, I’m back on malaria medicine, did not go for the neuro shots this week since I wasn’t feeling well enough to do that. But my daughter got Student of the Year award and made it all better:) Today I feel pretty well and that’s all that counts. Been loosing high amounts of hair, if this continues I’ll have to cut it short.

I hope you take full advantage of the sunny weather this weekend, and I’ll talk to you next weekend. 🙂

Va doresc un sfirsit de saptamina placut:) Meleah a primit premiul:) Termina saptamina viitoare liceul si va incepe sa lucreze de pe 15 Iunie. Imi pica parul mult de tot, daca va continua va trebui sa-l tai scurt. Am inceput iara tratament pentru malarie, dar in rest totul e bine, si-s plina de speranta si bucurie. Ma bucur mult ca-l simt pe D-zeu de partea mea si-i multumesc lui D-zeu ca ma binecuvintat cu o familie si prieteni asa de fantastici:) Fara voi si D-zeu nu as fi avut puterea sa lupt inainte. Asa ca- multumesc mult:)))))

As I was speaking to one of my friends, I realized my brain was doing again that thing it does more often than I like to admit but recently have come to hate. Judging. So I shooed it out of my thoughts, again and again and again, reminding myself just how imperfect I myself am. But old habits die-hard and despite the fragile seed of humility growing inside, I dare to hope, my eyes betrayed my thoughts. I’m sorry. For what exactly? For deceiving myself into thinking I have no value, and the only way of getting it is by criticizing someone else’s value. For looking past our differences only because I grew accustomed to my own perceptions. Forgetting that my own world is better with you in it than without. For thinking, even if for a second, that I may be better than you, while forgetting that I don’t fully know you yet to make such an idiotic assumption. I’m sorry.

Vorbind cu unii dintre prietenii mei, am realizat caci creierul meu făcea din nou chestia aia care o face mai des decât îmi place să recunosc, dar recent am ajuns să-o urăsc. Judecând. Așa că am alungat, din nou și din nou și din nou gindul de judecata, amintindu-mi mie in sine cât de imperfectă sint. Dar vechile obiceiuri mor greu, și, în ciuda sămânței fragile de umilință care a inceput sa cresca în interior, sper, ochii mi-au trădat gândurile. Îmi pare rău. Pentru ce anume? Pentru ca m-am înșelat pe mine în a gândi ca nu am nici o valoare, iar singurul mod de a obține aceasta, este de a critica valoarea altcuiva. Pentru faptul ca am trecut cu vederea diferențele noastre doar pentru că m-am obișnuit cu propriile mele perceptii. Uitând că propria mea lume este mai buna cu tine în ea decât fără. Pentru a ma gândi, chiar dacă numai pentru o secundă, ca sint mai buna decât tine, uitând că eu nu te cunosc pe deplin încă să fac o astfel de presupunere. Îmi pare rău.

I must not have been specific enough when I prayed for financial  help:))))))))))))))))))))))))

I guess the added antibiotic wasn’t welcomed by my body. I’m experiencing headaches, stomach pain and a very inflamed thyroid gland, making it hard to breathe.  I’ve reduced the dose from 200 mg, twice a day to 100 mg twice a day. So far so good. The thyroid inflammation shrunk, although I still feel it. Praying over the pills seems to have decreased my side-effects soooo dramatically that I’m not going to stop!

Message for my Romanian compatriots.

Multumesc prietenilor care ma tin pe bratul rugaciunilor, care ma incurajeaza, si care ma telefoneaza sa vad cum sint:) Ma rog ca Bunul Dumnezeu sa va umple de pacea si taria lui:) Cu drag Carmen

Today I feel as if you and me need some encouragement. We walk through life burdened by one thing or another, loved one sick, too many chores, too many responsibilities, too many deadlines and that everlasting nagging thing called -fear- following us everywhere.

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” Matthew 6:34 MSG

I pray that your health be complete, that your peace of mind be strong and that your strength in your body be apparent, but above all I pray that your peace with God be real.

My double dose of Doxycycline just got introduced to the new student in town -Plaquenil- another antibiotic, and you would think I would feel somehow rewarded by this addition. But noo, instead I have been showered by flushed cheeks (a nice coat of natural blush), glossy eyes, stomach pain, and couple degrees of added fatigue. Must be fighting something inside my body that needs destroying:) Ta ta for now:)

It’s 3 pm and all I want is a Costco pizza, hamburgers and fries, crepes and a BIG banana split. Okay… enough feeling sorry for myself, time to go make a salad.
