Gratitude

We are running away from home for a few days.  The last time we tried this things didn't go as planned and we were home the next day, so we're hoping for a more successful experience this time around.
This morning's readings were reassuring and valuable but didn't point me in a clear direction for a post. I'm viewing that as a reason to just be thankful today for the blessings that are allowing us to look forward to a few days with family in a cooler climate.  Just a month or two ago I wouldn't have been able to do this so I am feeling very fortunate.
I am aware of a sense of peace and confidence that can only come from above. Perhaps that's why Psalm 32 hit the nail on the head today:

I talk to God:
"You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance."-Psalm 32:7 (NIV)

He talks to me:
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and keep My loving eye on you."-Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

What a lovely conversation.

On the health front:
I had my port flushed yesterday and was able to corral my nurse long enough for her to interpret Tuesday's blood draw results.  There was a slight improvement in my hemoglobin number and everything else is holding steady.  I was hoping for a little more exciting report but I guess I still need a bit more instruction in patiencešŸ˜Š
