Get Your Head Examined

The most severe insult on the playground? "You need to get your head examined!" What does one do when that is precisely what has been recommended? I guess one goes in and has her head examined. One allows herself to get hooked up to a variety of wires and instruments all used to measure the functions of one's brain. Talk about a Wake-Up Call. Welcome to my world. I am facing the reality that although my physical body seems to be aging adequately for most of what I am called upon to do. On the other hand, my brain is not. I find myself struggling to keep track of the day in and day out "normal" requirements of life. Oh bother....as Winnie The Pooh would say. I suppose this is the perfect time to count my blessings instead of counting my challenges. 1) I chose very well when I was looking for a spouse. Brian is the most caring man I have ever known. He is patient, and loving, and generous. He is a spiritual giant, knowing from where our blessings come. He knows how to encourage me, comfort me, and care for me. 2) The Lord sent four of the most amazing human beings to be in my care as their mother. They now are taking turns encouraging and caring for me. 3) In my world, JOY is spelled: G-R-A-N-D-C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N. 4) My mother is still an important part of my life. I thank the Lord everyday that she remains an anchor of strength, love, and support. I guess that is a pretty good beginning. I hope I can learn how to do all the brain exercises I have been assigned to do. It is a little daunting. I used to think I was coordinated. Thank you for listening. God is so good. He has His eye upon the sparrow, and He has them upon me as well.
