Cherries & pie

I really wish I could have started out my writing again on a more positive note but ya know if its one thing ive gained in life it's that everything is not all cherries & pie sometimes. Sometimes u get pie & sometimes u get crud. It's all part of the process. & the true test is how we handle these types of situations. If u've been on my fb lately you have prolly seen that we are goin thru a situation.  Neesee has been admitted to the hospital. It has been a really long time since we've had one of these too. (I'm very proud to say)  At least an overnight stay anyway....a couple yrs :) which in the Criduchat world is ages!!! Yay for Neesee!!!!! But in the meantime here we are.... Confined to the four white walls, tangled mess of endless cords & dinging bells. :/

It's night two, day two & things have gotten worse, not better. Again no cherries & no pie for us this morning. I guess whatever this is is just running its course. I've immersed myself in prayer & positive thinking. I'm calling favor over my baby & my family to pull thru this. It's amazing how things have changed since the last time we've been here. I remember my hubby & I going at each others throats out of the loss & grief of watching our baby go thru such a horrible experience. I remember just loads of anger, questions of why, & a very very unhappy girl. That unhappy girl was me.

Today I'm thankful this experience is a lil different. Bc our Neesee has brought us much growth bc my hubby & I have brought much growth...we are now working as a team, WE are the cherries & pie. In a situation where things look gloom, we have to be the light, the sweetness, the cherry, the pie. What I mean by this is that we by no means are happy about this obviously. The situation is here & it's gonna run its course. whether we agee or not. period. We can either be mad, bitter, angry about it sure. That's easy. We can yell at one another, walk around complaining etc. but why not handle it different? Why not get thru it with enthusiasm, love, caring, prayer, and humor?

We all have our own situations in life. My experience may be similar or different from yours. Nothing is equal in all of us...we don't have the same opportunity or the same background, all intelligence isn't equal but one thing that is constant in all of us is choice. Free will. Whatever it is that your going thru today can mean something different than the meaning u've been attaching to it. You can choose to be the cherries, the pie. Quit looking for things to change & be that change.

As I sit here in the hospital it may not be MY ideal situation. But maybe, just maybe it may be just what u needed today. Maybe it's YOUR ideal situation: For us to be sitting here in this hospital speaking to u today.

Hope u all have a great weekend, go out & make positive choices, use my experience to your benefit. Cause things may not be ideal today but at least ur not spending the night at the hospital.....;)


Cheers to the freakin weekend!!!!!!
