Good morning. It’s 4:06 AM and the electricity all just came back on all of a sudden as the workmen at the top of the hill fixed the lightning-blown transformer… Maybe we should have thought to turn off the lights when everyone went to sleep because it was so dark, and quiet except for the storm….
I am too sad to talk about william’s fifth birthday. I think it’s way too rainy to go to the cemetery.
I have pneumonia in these already not-functioning-well lungs of mine, and today’s (well, i guess it was yesterday) doctor wasn’t particularly helpful. “We’ve maximized everything, they’ve not left much for me to do” he said. So today promises to be another day in bed, being short of breath and trying not to worry too much about all the things i’m not getting done.
I have posts in my head, with their pictures in my camera, but getting up with the real computer and the card reader thing and putting it all together… Um, I’m just not up for that at the moment. Too sick to deal with being up at the table, on too many steroids to concentrate that long.
So instead, I am sharing with you a new video by Emily. I don’t know how to embed it from a post on my iPad, and I don’t even know if this will be a clickable link or if you have to copy and paste. Whichever, go and see it. I thought it was very good. I know. I’m biased, but that’s ok, she’s my baby, and today I have to do whatever I can to love and cherish my babies.
Keep on Spinning 
What a fantastic video Emily made. Thank you so much for sharing. When my son gets up, I’m going to show him, too.
Praying you begin to mend soon.
I’m on my way to mass this morning…you’re going with me.
Emily is truly gifted. Go Emily! You embedded the video just perfectly. I didn’t even have to click a link.
I’m so sorry about the pneumonia!
I will pray extra hard today. Keep thinking about the baby bird story.
Matthew 10:29-31
29
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.
30
Even all the hairs of your head are counted.
31
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Wow. . . that’s an incredible video. SO creative! And such a talented artist, as well! I’ll have to show my Emily when she gets up, too.
Sorry to hear that you’re in bed today. But don’t worry about all of that stuff you’re not getting done. It will still be there for you later.
With prayers,
Tricia

As a fellow patient, I empathize utterly with all the posts in your head and no strength/concentration to execute them. May God grant grace and guidance to write/share/learn what He wishes, one step at a time.
