Freedom comes from Confinement

I know I owe some posts, just been flaking when it comes to writing them. Just thought I would update on my friend Norm. They warmed him up, figured out what was wrong and he is back at the rehabilitation place to work on his lower body strength to get him walking again. He's active, he's alert and getting back to the old Norm we all love so much. I'm very thankful, I just could not have handled him leaving us yet, much of it is selfish, but the rest of it is I'm just not sure what Ron would do without him. 28 years is a long time together. I love them both so much I was just not ready for that. Thank you for the prayers, he's continuing a steady recovery and I'm hoping to get to see him next time I'm up that way.

I sometimes find the hardest thing in life to do is admit a mistake and try and recover from it. Over the last few months I got a little crazy shopping thinking I had disposable income, which at the time I did, not realizing my car was about to explode. Then it did, and suddenly I freaked out. Ever since the store I panic about money, I didn't have two nickles to rub together for nearly 5 years and I swore I wouldn't get to that point again and so when I look at my checking account I have a minimum number in my head I like to see and in my head that number means 0. Now, at my first peak of financial success that was a 4 digit number and sometimes my mind still goes back to that and it makes looking at my check book very difficult. Well long story short the other day I got a letter from a collection agency that threw my head spinning. Turns out it wasn't to that point yet and I just sat down and got everything caught up. It feels good but at the same time I feel so stu

Not for me, but for my friend Norm and his partner Ron. Norm is my boxed wine buddy from back home that I've written about. He has had some very serious health issues over the last few months and is currently in ICU. He's already proving the doctors wrong and is stabalizing much to their disbelief, but that's how Norm rolls. I'm sure he could use all the help he can get so I figured the prayer department would be a great place to start. Ron said he's comfortable and seems to be coming around more and more. They are unsure of what the future is going to bring at this point, but are getting more hopeful. I'm scared and comforted all at the same time. Thanks in advance.
