Our Own Little Mermaid...

Cate's first swim...

For good...

Today I had the pleasure of seeing the musical Wicked performed at the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas. It is a fabulous tale of friendship, sacrifice and love. It made me laugh, it made me cry and it filled my heart with appreciation as it reminded me of how blessed I am to have some special girls in my life..."Because I knew you, I have been changed for good."

For Good - From Wicked

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good.

Well, it may never be

That we'll meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a hand print on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine

By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a skybird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good.

"He" Didn't Deserve The Credit...

Well, it turns out the eye problem was not autoimmune related thank the good Lord.  I simply had a good old fashioned eye infection. 

It started out in the left eye and ended up settling in the right eye too before it was all said and done. 

Seven days of drops and gel, three trips to the Opthamologist and I'm good as new. 

My immediate decision that the redness had to be autoimmune related is a great example of my never-ending fear of that dang 'ole tenant of mine. 

I really must learn not to give "him" so much credit!
