"I do not understand the mystery of grace -- only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us." ~ Anne Lamott
i am in serious need of some grace right now.
monday morning i am returning to the hospital for major surgery. third in 2 years. 3 times is a charm?
i would much rather stay home and bask in possibly our warmest day so far . it is to be 70 degrees monday. figures.
me i will be wearing those god awful hospital socks with the grippers on both sides and no heel (what is up with those things? i mean really.) and that oh so flattering gown. as expensive as hospitals are, i would think they should supply a great pair of hand knit socks.
i will miss my family. there is nothing that terrifies me more than leaving them as i get put to sleep and all is out of my control. i. do. NOT. like. that. at. all.
i will not like returning broken and sore, just as spring is knocking on our door. i had other plans. better ones.
but life throws curve balls and i am trying my best to accept that and roll with the punches.
all will be ok. all will be ok. all will be ok. all will be ok.
think happy thoughts for my little family tomorrow please.
and i will pop in here in a few days and say hello once more.
be kind to one another. smile at strangers.
someone may be struggling with something big and your random kindness may just ease that burden.

Sending you and your family grace, and prayers,and healing energy. I was in a serious car accident a week ago today, and I too am broken. I had other plans for this Spring too. But, I'm convinced we'll find a lot of grace in this broken time. Sending healing love, Nicole
I'll say a prayer for you for a successful surgery and quick recovery. *Strongs*
I can so relate to your feelings about having to go to hospital, undergo surgery and leaving your family. I know it is hard to cope with all these feelings. But I also know you are not alone in there. Strong hands hold you. They will be there when you put on the gown (the unflattering one) and also when you are falling asleep and wake up again. Lots of warm thoughts and best wishes for your recovery (and enough patience for that). It can only get better now!
Hey baby, Grace is my middle name. Wow, never thought I'd actually be able to say that and mean it. Lots of love to you. xox
i will be sending love and healing thoughts into the universe in your honor tomorrow. you will come through this with all the grace that you do everything else in your days - i'm sure of it. love.
sending you love and strength for tomorrow. xoxoxo
Think good thoughts, take deep breaths ... there is a whole lot of sweet, tender energy flowing your way. I love that with all this going on the last part of your post was thinkng of others and reminding us to do the same. Bless your heart, Kristen, all will be okay.
I'll be thinking and praying for you tomorrow morning. For grace and strength. All will be okay :)
