SOMETIMES

Sometimes smiling is the greatest act
of defiance, & sometimes asking for
help is the most meaningful example
of self-reliance.
Sometimes the best medicine is to
just laugh until you cry, & sometimes
the greatest wisdom comes from
accepting you will never know why.
Sometimes just going to bed is the
best antidote to trials and tribulations,
&sometimes just being blessed to
get up again and face it all, for one
more day, is worthy of celebration.

Sometimes life is just hard.
Sometimes the trust you place
in others is taken advantage of,
sometimes, even if it's very
frustrating, you just have to
let go and have faith that in
the end everything will work
out the way it is suppose to.

I have spent my week dealing with
insurance companies, doctor's that
were suppose to send referrals and
didn't,  a phone call informing me
that my doctor [the one I was
suppose to  see June 1] just up
and left the practice, and the list
goes on and on, and on.  Exhale.

Despite all the stress from outside
sources, there has been my usual
walks,  working in the garden, the
return of summer heat and humidity,
Alex finishing the last of his school
work, my knitting that brings such
comfort, and homemade lemonade.

Happy weekend to you.

Love,
Tracey
