A Revelation

So, last night I had a revelation. 

It dawned on me my hormones may have gone awry. 

I thought I was long past dealing with hormonal issues, but maybe not. 

It is something I would have talked to my mom about, 

but of course, I can't do that anymore. 

So I messaged a friend who sent me a link that answered some of my questions. 

Then it dawned on me that the crying episode from the other morning

and some other things my body has been dealing with may indeed be from crazy hormones. 

My friend explained that all the emotional things I've been through will mess with my hormones.

Makes sense to me now. 

I'm so thankful for the friends God has brought my way. 

True friendship is such a gift from God!

So this morning, I'm looking through a basket in my closet where I keep cards for sending out. 

I know of two ladies who are homebound right now and might need some cheering up.

In searching through the basket I stumbled upon this envelope

I do keep cards that have been given to me, but I don't keep the envelopes...

why I kept this one, I could not tell you, but you can imagine the impact it had on me.

This is my mother's handwriting and it is all she had written on the envelope. 

I don't remember what card was inside, and it's odd that it didn't say

"Happy Birthday Daughter" or something like that -

no, it just said "Love ya" 

and that is a phrase she would say to me if I was going away, or if I called to check on her.

This morning, my mom was checking on me.

Funny how something so simple, those two words - could have such a powerful affect. 

Anyway, Thank You Mom. I love YOU, too!

I got a lot done yesterday and hope to finish out today.

My husband and I hope to go to Epcot for a few hours tonight so I'm writing now. 

Have a blessed day everyone!
