I'm gonna be sunburned

So I've decided I need to spend some time with my new theme song on repeat making as many thankfulness lists as I can before my hands cramp up.  Join me, won't you?



I am thankful that I am tethered to an outlet because it means I have worked hard all day on my computer and refuse to give up yet.

I am thankful that my toes are a little cold, even in south Florida, because it means I am blessed to have a working air conditioner.

I am thankful that I had to stop at the gas station and fill up my car, because it means I was able to attend all my meetings and work, and am able to continue to do so tomorrow.

I am thankful for my big bowl of carrots, even though I don't love carrots, because today is another day God has provided me strength of will to stick to my diet.

I am thankful for having too many things to pack easily for my move this weekend.  They are physical signs of how many blessings have been heaped on me in life.

I am thankful for getting home from work at 10 pm, because I got to spend the night laughing with my youth group.

I am thankful to have received pledges for +37% of my fundraising needs so far. (No twist on this one, just gratefulness)

I am thankful for my hunger, because I've been full; for my stress, because I've known relaxation; for my aches, because I've worked hard; and for each day I am able to experience the unique routines of life again.

I'm also so thankful for every person reading this.  Thanks for taking some time to learn about me and my endeavor.  Thanks for sticking around for this long in the post.  And I pray that God might move your heart to increase your level of engagement.  Sign up to follow this blog, receive new posts via email; join me as a prayer partner; take a peek at the Support page, and give as you are able.

Abundant blessings are rarely far away, so long as we face toward the Sun (Son) and refuse to dwell on the shadows cast behind us by earthly things.

Apparently I'm so bad at what I do most that it might kill me

 So, because of my chronic illnesses it is rather common for me to sleep around 12-19 hours per 24 hour day. It's a bit more than most people, and it is actually rather sucky because it's not like it helps me feel good, it just means I don't end up feeling worse (mostly). What it really means is that I don't often have enough time in my awake part of the day to complete chores, self-care, or projects, especially when I am often driving and attending 3 people's worth of medical visits. Yesterday's visit meant 45 minutes of waiting, another 45 of prep time, and then they told me they couldn't proceed to plan without a pre-authorization. This is often my standard kind of day. So I do my best to keep a book/kindle/phone with me and fully charged to use while I wait. But back to the sleeping thing. It's what I do most, but apparently I'm really bad at it. According to my new pulmonologist, I stop breathing while I sleep. More than 34 times per hour all ni

Round 12 of my fight vs me

I'll say this upfront, this is not a particularly happy post, is extremely personal, and does not contain information about my work here in Brazil.  So consider this point your parachute.  Jump out now if that's not your thing. I was planning for my next post to be a lovely recap of what I've been up to here; it was to be about how great it has been to settle into my new house, get the classes for the kids up and going, being involved in this new community, and celebrating a wonderful Lent and Easter while learning of the differences between my traditions and those found here.  But that is not seeming to be the case with this post. In my life, I've often joked that I have the true luck of the Irish.  By that, I mean, historically that they were often a conquered, subjugated, invaded, discriminated, or just all around unlucky group of people, and also a decent portion of my ancestors.  I wouldn't say that everyone in that group was suffering the absolute worst of

Getting thrown off a cliff

 So it's no secret that I'm disabled, and have been for a few years now. Let me tell you the learning curve is steep! Especially when it comes to the government. There is so little I knew about disability law, support assistance, and government healthcare before I found myself wading through the bureaucratic system essentially solo (shoutout to my mom and friend Angie for all they did to help!). It was terrifying. And I had success, putting me in the "lucky" top 20%, so I know it could have been so much worse. Why does this matter to anyone else? Well, for starters, anyone could become disabled on any day of the week, and most of us will be disabled at some point in our lives (though most commonly in old age). You have literally zero control of when it could happen; for all you know you're already a ticking time bomb like I was, or there's a car crash coming, or any other thousands of things. Plus, studies are showing that with each time a person catches Covid
