Did I get to try out the new video? Not exactly.
Did I make it to the football game to watch my granddaughter cheer? Not exactly.
Did I get my closet cleaned out and organized? Not exactly.
Did I have lunch with our Pastors? Not exactly.
What, exactly, did I get done? A few things in the morning, but ended up going to the Emergency Room early afternoon due to upper back pain (I'd been dealing with for the last two days), plus some other things going on.
What was the diagnosis? They weren't exactly sure what was going on, but after running the standard tests they determined, even though it wasn't my heart, they wanted to admit me and keep an eye on my heart enzyme level. It's a long story, but let me just say that being in the ER when it's a full house is not where you want to be!
Needless to say, I packed up and came home. It was obvious that being there at that time was doing more harm than good when it came to my blood pressure!
It's been a pretty good day, despite the pain that is still in my back. I choose, however, to push on and do what needs to be done. They can take me to the hospital when I collapse and don't have a say over the matter!
As I talked on the phone with a friend today, explaining what happened, I caught myself saying, "I wish I'd have enjoyed my life before all these health issues hit!"
Truer words were never spoken.
To say, 'Life is short' seems so cliche and cheesy, but it is so true. I can't even explain to you how true that phrase is. Please don't wait until something drastic happens before you decide to get out and live a beautiful life... DO IT NOW! You just never know.
Go out of your way to be kind and help someone out today. Remember... we reap what we sow.
XO
