Remember the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie"? I loved that book. I learned so much about pain as I read about the pain Morrie endured as he was dying. He learned to breathe with the pain. It made me think: How often have I tried to avoid the pain because it seemed to much to bear. Personally, I like the end result without the pain, but I don't learn much that way. We are an "end result" society because we have learned instant everything. I wonder how much that has altered our life experiences and kept us from learning essential tools for survival...or at least for growing as human beings. What process have you learned to love?

Good morning friend! Great little post today.
I am trying to get ready to leave for a week to help a friend with a wedding down in NM. When I get back the next day a blogging friend and hubby will be arriving for 3 days so I am trying to think of all that needs to get done before I leave and am not having too much success accomplishing it! Your post, though my problem is a pain of another sort (though the fibro has been flaring up) , is a good reminder. Just breathe through the process and let go of the stuff that doesn't really matter.
I'm doing a terrible job of trying to get something together for us- the house facelift and much more has taken my attention for now but lets just keep praying about Him making something work out.

Your blog is looking pretty with its new header- I read you mostly on reader so haven't seen the makeover yet- have you had it long?
I have learned that there are many bumps in this road of life...and that there is no easy sailing..that we are all surrounded by the beauty of life but also tagged by the darkness of earthly death. I have learned that losing a child can make you stronger but leaves a hole that will never be filled this side of Heaven. xo Diana
