A few thoughts...

My posts have been totally scattered the last few months. I often haven't felt much like blogging: I often haven't had much worth blogging about! Life is quiet, in this particular season, which is good. Quiet=space to think, and to rest. I am already planning and preparing for post-eyedrama life, seeking to keep it a little less on the stress. You read it here first, so when I start filling my time with nonsense reading on the Internet and rushing around getting a hundred and one jobs done in a shrinking timeframe, call me on it! I may talk a good "placid" talk but I'm a great one for heaping additional pressure on myself. And for what?!

I've been rereading Kris Carr's "Crazy Sexy Life" lately, and I've started drinking green juices and smoothies again. I can't much commit to anything beyond that (nor do I want to, hello tasty Christmas treats) but the green juices already are making me feel a lot more with it and energised. Come January maybe I'll try and implement a few other things from it (like, y'know, exercise and such. Once I get the all-clear on the eye front. Probably ;)

Speaking of all things eye related (kind of my baseline at the moment, not much else is going on chez moi) I'm back in for my final operation on Tuesday. Any quick healing prayers and magic vibes you have going spare would be very gratefully received...!

Thankyou! I hope you are finding time in the rush of Christmas prep to enjoy the fairy lights and carols xxx

  1. Hi Rachel, sorry I haven't been by as often as before. I guess partly it's because you have also been more quiet ;-) But also because, like you, I haven't felt a lot like blogging or commenting (although I've picked up with the commenting of late again).

    Like you, I've been dealing with long-term health issues (seems so long term when it's months and months). I think that makes it harder to have things outside our homes to blog about but also we focus on other things at hand. In a way, this is good for us as it teaches us to go inward and think about the basics.

    I will pray for your surgery on Tuesday. "Lord I ask you to guide the surgeons hands, give them skill and wisdom and accuracy in what they are doing. I pray good nurses and a pleasant hospital stay for Rachel. I also pray for less pain and quick healing for her as she undergoes this final step. Let her rest in your perfect peace and know your perfect love. In Jesus' name I ask, amen."

    Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
