May 10th- World Lupus Day

It’s World Lupus day – two weeks ago I wouldn’t have known that. Wearing Purple to spread awareness-well, the closest thing to purple I have – you would think since it’s my favorite color I would have more of it to wear. Might have to remedy that! My husband and I go to Raptis for breakfast (little local family owned placed) – I love their sausage gravy/biscuits – guess I won’t be getting those again 🙁 I get tea with Splenda instead of sugar, one egg, home fries with peppers/onions – NO SALT, ketchup or mayo – which for me is hard because I’ve always used a lot of condiments – I find food dry, pasty and just hard to swallow without added stuff on it. I do allow myself one piece of bacon.

Then we went to see my mother in law, her sister (Aunt V) and her daughter and granddaughter. Aunt V wanted to see me the other day but I’m too self-conscious about the house and don’t have the energy to clean it so we made arrangements to visit them here instead. They don’t know that’s why because I’m sure she would say it’s fine, but to me it isn’t. During our visit, Aunt V comes and sits by me and reaching out for my hand and she places a small rubber frog in it. She says “Do you know what that is?” I kinda look at it puzzled and say “No” and in true Aunt V fashion she says “It’s a frog!”. 😉 Then she explains that it stands for Fully Rely On God – FROG. This is the second frog I have recently received as my oldest gave me one on my birthday two weeks ago when I was in the hospital. I’m sure it was not the same intent but I believe that maybe it was God and I need to be reminded to do just that, as everything is out of my control. So again God – I heard you.
