The weather has been so nice; that alone has made me feel better. This weekend is suppose to have forty degree temperatures. I hope this prediction comes true. I am ready to be cold once again.

K has chosen to go back to work and is holding off on filing for disabilty. He wants to try and see if he can work for a while longer anyway. I guess he is wanting to convince hisself that he is as sick as everyone else believes he is. I told him to decide what he wants to do. I surely don't want him blaming me if he becomes unhappy. His future is his decision.

He has stopped taking his oxygen with him and doesn't use it when he is at home. I have tried to explain to him that he would feel much better him he used it for at least an hour a day. He is also not taking his breathing treatments. But the lung specialist told me that most of his patients stop following his instructions and are usually back in the hospital within a month. I hope that doesn't happen to K; but he won't listen to me.

My dad made a big pot of his vegetable soup knowing it is a favorite of mine. He puts everything thing in but the kitchen sink. hahaha Let me see if I can list it all-green beans, corn, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, lima beans, speckled butter beans, celery, leeks, onions, green peas, okra, cabbage, beef and pork-I think that is it. Mom baked a pan of corn bread to go with it, hoping I will eat. Well, I have been eating, goodness me. Too, too much! He brought a big container full, over to the house this morning and I had some for lunch before I went to work and I have all ready had a bowl since I have been home. My stomach is hurting I have ate so much but it is so good. There is plenty enough for tommorrow......and maybe the next day.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2nd Corinthians 12:8-10
